Trooper pleads guilty in theft from dying motorist
July 17, 2014
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut state trooper has pleaded guilty to charges he stole cash and jewelry from a dying accident victim.
The Connecticut Post reports 45-year-old Aaron Huntsman entered a guilty plea Wednesday to charges of larceny and tampering with evidence under the Alford Doctrine. That means he does not agree with the state’s case, but concedes there is enough evidence to secure his conviction.
Prosecutors say Huntsman, a 19-year veteran of the state police, was caught on video from his cruiser’s dashboard camera stealing a gold chain and $3,700 from 49-year-old John Scalesse as the motorcyclist lay dying on Sept. 22, 2012.
Scalesse was fatally injured when his motorcycle crashed on the Merritt Parkway in Fairfield.
Huntsman faces 18 months in prison when he is sentenced on Oct. 3.

There was nothing in the OP about first responders-—it’s about thieves.

Lucy, you don’t even have to be dead or injured to be victimized that way. Think of all the valuable stuff that’s stolen by TSA and airline baggage handlers on a daily basis. It’s not as macabre as stealing from the dead — that takes a special kind of callousness — but it’s still stealing. And the perps mostly get away with it.
