A former Colorado funeral home owner was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison, on Tuesday, for defrauding relatives of the dead by dissecting 560 corpses and selling body parts without permission.

Hess’ lawyer said she has been unfairly vilified as a “witch,” a “monster” and a “ghoul,” when instead she is a “broken human being” whose conduct can be attributed to a traumatic brain injury at age 18. In court on Tuesday, Hess declined to speak to the judge.Twenty-six victims described their horror at discovering what had happened to their loved ones.

Tina Shanon, whose mother was dismembered against her will, told the court, “I’ve worn many masks to cover the pain. I’ll never be OK.” Hess committed crimes, prosecutors said, when she defrauded relatives of the deceased by lying about cremations and by dissecting bodies and selling them without permission.
