Steelers rookie DT Derrick Harmon spotted shadowing Cam Heyward at OTAs
Steelers rookie DT Derrick Harmon spotted shadowing Cam Heyward at OTAs Derrick Harmon is trying to follow in Cam Heyward's footsteps — literally — as the rookie defensive tackle shadowed the veteran Steeler throughout OTAs. PennLive's Nick Farabaugh reported that the mentorship was similar to how T.J. Watt took Nick Herbig under his wing — wherever Heyward went, Harmon followed. For the Steelers rookie, it's simple: he just wants to learn from as many veteran minds as possible. "I told them I'm asking questions," Harmon told reporters on Thursday. "That's what I'm going to do. I'm going to learn." The Steelers rookie has an ingenious recipe for success — leaning on Heyward's 14 NFL seasons as an invaluable resource. Harmon recently appeared on the podcast Not Just Football with Cam Heyward and spoke highly of watching the veteran Steelers DT growing up — as well as letting everyone know that he's looking forward to stopping Ravens RB Derrick Henry in 2025.

‘Death County, PA' Episode 6: The ‘good old boys' club overseeing all the prison deaths
SUBSCRIBE AND LISTEN:Wondery|Apple Podcasts|Spotify|Other podcast platforms The final episode of the podcast 'Death County, PA' begins to answer the question why so many people have been dying in a Pennsylvania county jail in recent years. And one part of the answer is the people who were supposed to be providing critical oversight were part of a 'good old boys club,' where money and favors moved back and forth between the people running the prison and the people in charge of holding them accountable. The same health care provider who has been accused of providing inadequate care at the Dauphin County Prison during some of the deaths, Prime Care, had not been audited by the county in three decades. That's despite the fact that Prime Care had been banned from providing care in Pennsylvania's state prisons because of an incident where the owner of the company falsified records after a patient died of dehydration. But Prime Care paid one of the three main people in charge of overseeing the jail, former County Commissioner Jeff Haste, more than half a million dollars over four years, income that Haste had not disclosed. Haste also pushed the county to buy property from the same coroner, Graham Hetrick, whose conclusions about why prisoners were dying was being challenged by some of his peers and in the courts. Hetrick was allowing Haste to live in that very same property. In the midst of all these revelations, the family of one of the most recent inmates to die, Justin Cofield, organized a protest at the prison. 'We demand answers,' Cofield's mom shouted at the protest. 'Shame on Dauphin County. Shame on every single person responsible for the death of so many people inside of this building here. Shame on them for the neglect of our children, of our parents, of our neighbors.' During the protest, Cofield's parents confronted Hetrick — the coroner, who had done real estate business with the county and who was accused of creating autopsy reports that downplayed the responsibility of prison staff. Hetrick refused to let Cofield's parents see their own child's body. 'It does not belong to the prison. It does not belong to the county. It does not belong to Graham Hetrick,' one protester shouted. What came out of the confrontation with Hetrick that day highlighted the longtime effort by advocates to bring change to a prison where, experts from UCLA recently concluded, the coroner's office seemed to be misclassifying deaths and where Black prisoners in particular were facing higher levels of violence than white prisoners. 'Death County, PA' is co-produced by PennLive and Wondery and hit the top of Apple's podcast charts two days after it was widely released.

Ex-Harvard Medical School morgue manager pleads guilty in stolen body parts case
A New Hampshire man who was the manager of the morgue at Harvard Medical School pleaded guilty to a single criminal charge in federal court in Pennsylvania on Wednesday, court records show. Cedric Lodge, of Goffstown, N.H., pleaded guilty to a single count of interstate transport of stolen goods, pursuant to a plea agreement reached with federal prosecutors last month. Court records did not immediately show a sentencing date for Lodge. The maximum sentence for the charge of interstate transport of stolen goods is 10 years, but sentencing guidelines recommend a sentence of no jail time to six months, PennLive reported, citing Assistant U.S. Attorney Alisan V. Martin. Lodge became the eighth person connected to the scheme to plead guilty on Wednesday, a group that includes his wife, Denise. Lodge oversaw the morgue at Harvard Medical School, and beginning in 2018 started stealing dissected portions of dead bodies donated to the morgue, including heads, brains, skin and bones. He continued doing so until March 2023, according to federal prosecutors. He and Denise Lodge were among six people charged with trafficking remains in 2023, a group that included Katrina MacLean, a Salem woman who owned a shop in Peabody Cedric Lodge would bring the stolen body parts from the Harvard morgue to New Hampshire, where he and his wife negotiated their online sale. The Lodges shipped two dozen hands, two feet, nine spines, portions of skulls, five dissected human faces and two dissected heads as part of the scheme, PennLive reported. In doing so, Cedric Lodge violated a Harvard Medical School policy barring employees from removing, keeping or selling any remains. The couple netted payments totaling in the tens of thousands over the course of the scheme, according to prosecutors. In the wake of the indictments against Lodge and others, several families whose loved ones donated their bodies to Harvard Medical School filed lawsuits in Suffolk Superior Court accusing the university of negligence. The lawsuits were tossed by a lower court judge, but the Supreme Judicial Court is weighing whether to reinstate them. Jeffrey Catalano, an attorney for the families, told the state's highest court in February that security cameras surrounding the morgue showed Lodge 'letting unauthorized strangers' in and 'dragging body parts out' to his car. The car had a license plate reading 'grim reaper,' Catalano said. Has Roman Anthony forced Red Sox to make call-up decision?
