LOUISVILLE, Ky. — A Kentucky man charged with firearm offenses after an FBI raid uncovered a grisly scene at his Mt. Washington home earlier this summer is expected to change his plea to guilty.
Federal court documents indicate a change of plea hearing for James Nott is scheduled for Nov. 27.
In July, police found dozens of human remains being used as "decorations" inside Nott's home. Authorities also discovered he was part of a national ring of people buying and selling stolen human remains from Harvard Medical School.
Nott is not facing any charges for having the human remains, however. He is charged with being in possession of a firearm as a prohibited person and taking those firearms across state lines.

During the search of his home, authorities found an AK-47 and small revolver near Nott's bed. Police also found several fully loaded rifle magazines, extra ammunition, inert grenades and two plates of body armor.
Earlier this year, Indiana attorney Larry Wilder told WHAS11 there is no federal law against having human remains or body parts in your home, and many states differ in their "abuse of corpse" laws.
Nott could still be charged under Kentucky's abuse of corpse law, but Wilder said it would require a strong argument.
