By Lydia Warren A Connecticut state trooper has pleaded guilty to stealing jewelery and $3,700 from the body of a motorcyclist who died at the scene of a crash after it was caught on his dashboard camera. Aaron Huntsman, 45, entered an Alford plea for third-degree larceny and tampering with evidence - meaning he does not admit to the charges but accepts he would likely be found guilty at a trial. The trooper, who had been with the department for 18 years at the time of the crime in 2012, will spend more than a year in prison, the Connecticut Post reported.
