ps you'll notice that i tossed back to the wrong anchor after my liveshot! thought it was supposed to be bill...but it was melanie whoops!

another story from the courtroom today! geez, could everyone just behave themselves...please?!

this is a pretty crazy case though...this guy pleaded guilty to 9 counts of attempted murder today stemming from an incident in 2006 where he drove into a populated area on UNC's campus...and he said he did as payback for the muslims who have died around the world. what a nutcase. thankfully, no one was hurt...check it out!
