Maybe He Had A Human Skin Shoe Hobby?
"Gary Dudek, 54, is accused of
stealing sheets of lab-grown skin intended for use in skin-graft
surgeries from Mercy Philadelphia Hospital between November 2011 and
July 2013, a local police spokeswoman said.
The hospital said in a statement that it called the police after an
audit revealed "illegal or improper behavior" from a vendor supplying
the skin, which is artificially grown in a laboratory out of human skin
cells.
Eugene Tinari,
Dudek's lawyer, said his client had done "nothing that amounts to
criminality." He called the charges draconian and said they were better
dealt with in a civil rather than criminal case.
"There's a fine line between misplacing, and errors, and stealing," he
said. "What would he want skin grafts for?" Tinari declined to go into
further detail.
Dudek
worked as a sales representative specializing in tissue regeneration for
Organogenesis, a Massachusetts-based biotech firm that engineers skin
tissue for use in grafting."
