NEWARK: A Los Angeles physician accused of giving an exotic dancer a severed hand from a medical school cadaver has rejected a deal that would allow him to skip a prison sentence but prohibit him from practicing medicine in New Jersey.

Ahmed Rashed, 26, said he wouldn't give up his right to work in New Jersey, his attorney, Kalman Harris Geist, told The Star-Ledger of Newark for Friday's newspapers.


Rashed is accused of stealing the hand when he was a medical student at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey in June 2002.
