Good evening, I'm Anthony J. Scoobington, with WSCB TV.


 George Zimmerman, who gained notoriety when he fatally shot teenager Trayvon Martin two years ago, wants to pursue a legal career after his ordeal with the murder charges. He said he wants to become a lawyer to "stop the miscarriage of justice." His slogan will be, "I got off, so I can get you off!! Call me at 1-(800) I-DID-IT2!"


The Ethiopian co-pilot who locked the pilot out of the cockpit during the Ethiopian Airlines flight from Addis Ababa-to-Rome flight has been identified as 31 year old Hailemedhin Abera. He worked for the airline for 5yrs. He threatened to crash the plane if the pilot did not stop trying to get back into the cockpit. Abera, diverted the flight to Switzerland, landed, climbed out of the cockpit window and surrendered to police. While in custody he told Geneva police that he felt threatened at home and was seeking asylum. Upon hearing of his bold attempt, an anonymous source told us here at WSCB that "Abera loved weed, but he couldn't get to Colorado and he heard Switzerland had some 'good shit.'"


Reporting live from our Asian affiliate, WYAO, Ling Fuk Yu: Thousands of police officers have conducted raids in over 16 Chinese cities in the past week, detaining more than 1,000 suspects in the latest attempt to curb the country's illegal but booming sex industry. Prostitution is available every in China from side street barbershops to high end hotels. They say the biggest reason that prostitution remains a large problem in China is that police in cities take bribes to overlook the crime. A source who spoke on the condition on anonymity told us, "I look the other way all the time. They want to give $5 sucky sucky, then she pay have to pay me $10 to look other way."


From the folks at WSCB have a great evening and stay hydrated.

A fire at a California home care facility for the disabled has killed four adults and left two others hospitalized, authorities said Sunday. The fire was reported at about 11:45p.m. Saturday in Marina, a small coastal community in Monterey County, about 100 miles south of San Francisco. Apparently, the four adults had their left wheelchair brake on, so they kept rolling in small circles to the left.


Forty-five Chinese coal miners trapped by a cave-in were rescued Saturday. Eight miners were killed in the cave-in at the mine in the city of Samenxia in Henan province, in Central China. Seven miners were rescued Friday. China's coal mines are the deadliest in the world. It is reported that the miners were secretly trying to see if they dug straight down that they would end up in the United States. Their attempt was unsuccessful.



Greek Prime Minister George Papandreou will meet Monday with the leader of the country's main opposition party to discuss who will become the nation's next prime minister. The meeting comes a day after President Karolos Papoulias announced that Papandreou will step down amid the country's financial crisis -- as long as a controversial 130 billion euro bailout deal is approved. If the deal is not approved Greece will reportedly have a gyro & kabob sale. We have been sent a copy of their menu:
