Give me a hand, doc?

Ahmed Rashed, a third-year resident at King/Drew Medical Center, pleaded guilty to stealing a hand from a cadaver at the University of Medicine and Dentistry in Newark. That's not the weird part. This is: "The hand was later found by police at the home of a stripper."

Dr. Rashed pleaded guilty to a reduced charge of third-degree theft. New Jersey authorities say they will recommend probation.
