The 3 men and 1 woman were charged with 1 count each of dismembering a human body.

It’s just good for them to be punished by the government since what they done were wrong. Even the families who have love one’s in that cemetery will not agreed for any fast cash they will give for the negotiable case. They want them to throw in jail. And for the owner or caretaker of the cemetery they should screen their employees there for security. Since the cemetery was not an ordinary cemetery. Most famous and popular personality was buried there like Dinah Washington, Willie Dixon and Inman Jackson.
