In March, Mastromarino pleaded guilty to running the macabre operation that lasted from 2001 to 2005 until authorities arrested him. He was charged with numerous felony counts, including enterprise corruption, body stealing and reckless endangerment.
The bodies were carved up without permission or proper screening for diseases. They were sold for dental implants, knee and hip replacements and other procedures around the U.S.
The plundered bodies included that of "Masterpiece Theatre" host Alistair Cooke.
