DENVER, Colo. (KOAA) — Jon Hallford, one of the two people accused of storing over 190 decomposing bodies at the Return to Nature Funeral Home in Penrose, is appealing his federal sentence.

This is according to court documents, filed by the United States District Court.

Hallford was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison after accepting a plea deal on 15 counts of conspiracy to commit wire fraud charges in late June.

His wife, Carie, initially pleaded not guilty to these same charges, but decided to change her plea Tuesday.

The pair also pleaded guilty to nearly 200 state charges. Jon Hallford is expected to be in court in August.
