Two associates with ties to the UCLA system were caught illegally selling body parts. Earnest V. Nelson, a businessman and Henry Reid, the director of the willed-body parts at UCLA were charged with conspiring to steal and sell body parts to private medical research companies for a profit. Investigators believe that Nelson netted a total of $1.5 Million between 1999 and 2003. For his part, Reid received a total of $43,000 for giving Nelson access to the body parts. The conspiracy was uncovered when health authorities became suspicious that the parts were not being processed properly for infectious diseases. For their crimes, Nelson will be serving a maximum of 10 years and Reid will get 4 years in prison.
