“This is one of the most bizarre investigations I have encountered in my thirty-three years as a prosecutor,” District Attorney Seán M. McCormack said at the time. “Just when I think I have seen it all, a case like this comes around.”
Now, per a report from the Arkansas Democrat Gazette, Scott has been arraigned on 12 total counts including conspiracy to commit mail fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, mail fraud, wire fraud, conspiracy to commit interstate transportation of stolen property, and interstate transportation of stolen property.
Prosecutors have argued that she is a flight risk due to the potential for her to be sentenced to an extended period of time behind bars. In a separate report, the Associated Press added that Scott had pleaded not guilty to the charges against her, which are said to stem from body parts stolen from cadavers used by a medical school. Scott is described as a former mortuary worker, with her alleged haul of stolen and sold body parts amounting to nearly $11,000.
