GOOD MORNING AND WELCOME TO NBC-2 NEWS TODAY.

I'M JOE ROETZ.

AND I'M JENNIFER TRAMMELL.

IT'S SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 9-TH.

WE'LL HAVE A LOOK AT TODAY'S TOP STORIES IN JUST A MINUTE.

WEATHER-WX WALL

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.

IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.

After a couple dry sunny days, rain chances will gradually be on the rise as a front slowly slides in from the north. Since the front will only be only crawling our way, the areas most at risk for seeing a passing shower will be locations farther north.

If you're in Charlotte or Desoto County, you'll see the most shower activity followed by Lee, Glades, and Hendry County. Locations across Collier County may even see a few passing showers later today, but coverage there will be fairly spotty.

Even for areas that see the best chance of rain, showers will still be fairly scattered, so today shouldn't be a complete washout for anyone. Just expect showers to pass through from time to time.

We'll even see a fair amount of sun through your Sunday along with a refreshing breeze out of the southwest from 5-15 mph. Temperatures will be close to yesterday's numbers, so most spots should warm into the upper 80s and low 90s.

By tonight we'll still see the possibility for some isolated rain, but later in the night the main target areas for rain will be close to the coast.

On Monday and Tuesday, the front will stall over Central and South Florida, keeping a good chance of showers in our forecast both days. On Monday most of us will get our best chance of rain in the morning and early afternoon, and then on Tuesday both day parts will be fair game for rain.

CRIME STOPPERS-ON CAM

OVER THE LAST YEAR OR SO,

FLORIDA HAS BECOME FAMOUS, REGRETTABLY, AS BEING THE PILL MILL CAPITAL OF THE U-S.

A HANDFUL OF DOCTORS ARE WORKING IN UNISON WITH DRUG ADDICTS AND DEALERS TO KEEP POWERFUL PAIN PILLS from FREE FLOWING ON THE STREETS OF SOUTHWEST FLORIDA.

CRIME STOPPERS-PKG

Crime Stoppers segment for 9/8/12 TRT: 2:06

Sheriff Scott - "Epidemic is absolutely the right word. It's unbelievable."

More and more, local residents are being prescribed with enormous amounts of highly addictive pain pills for, often times, less than legitimate ailments. Forget the days of 30 pills to cover a month's supply… some patients are getting the green light for hundreds and hundreds of pills each month.

Sheriff Scott - "We've got doctors out there, and physicians assistants who have the authority to prescribe medications and are doing so recklessly."

Take the case of Jacklyn Kincade - a beautiful young woman with a full life ahead of her. That was - at least - until she fell prey to pills, and the enabling pill mills. Over the course of just two years, she went from this…. To this. But Jacklyn, unfortunately, is just one example of how prescription pills are leading to an increasing number of drug related deaths in our state.

Trish Routte - Differentiating a pill mill from a legitimate doctor is actually quite easy. You'll often see lines of people quickly coming and going - they're always crowded and the patients often appear a little on the shady side.

Sheriff Scott - "We've had people that'll make four, five, six different doctors appointments in one day, and go around and shop and say my shoulder hurts and I need a little something for it."

And once they're hooked, the need for more pills only grows.

Sheriff Scott - "These opiate derivates are very addictive and that one of the big dangers with this. People will sell their house, home and first born or steal and rob to get these drugs."

Statewide, measures are being put in place to eradicate the pill mill epidemic, including increasing penalties for overprescribing Oxycodone and tracking the wholesale distribution of the pills. The reason? 98 of the nation's top 100 Oxycodone purchasing physicians are right here in the state of Florida.

But as with any illegal activity, we need residents to take stock in their community and pick up the phone to report doctors over-prescribing these meds, and the users who are destroying their own lives - as well as the lives of those to whom they're selling.

CRIME STOPPERS-TAG

ANYONE WITH INFORMATION ON POSSIBLE PILL MILLS IN SOUTHWEST FLORIDA,

OR THE PEOPLE WHO ARE DOCTOR SHOPPING FOR THE DRUGS,

IS ASKED TO CALL CRIME STOPPERS AT 1-800-780-TIPS.

ALL CALLERS REMAIN ANONYMOUS AND WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A CASH REWARD OF UP TO ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.

IT MAY WELL HAVE BEEN THE MOST DRAMATIC SCENE AT THE O-J SIMPSON "TRIAL OF

THE CENTURY".

THAT BLOODY GLOVE NOT FITTING ON THE FALLEN FOOTBALL STAR'S HAND.

NOW, ALL THESE YEARS LATER - THERE'S A STARTLING CHARGE.

ONE OF THE PROSECUTORS ACCUSED THE DEFENSE OF TAMPERING WITH THE KEY PIECE OF EVIDENCE THAT ULTIMATELY AQUITTED O-J.

It was the DEFINING moment in the criminal trial of the century.

NATS - COURTROOM/darden: "He would have killed, could have killed, and did

kill these two people"

.accused murderer O.J. Simpson struggling into those blood-soaked gloves.

Prosecutors argued he wore them during the brutal 1994 slayings of his ex-

wife Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend Ron Goldman. The jury wasn't

convinced.

NATS - JURY FOREWOMAN - "NOT GUILTY OF THE CRIME OF MURDER."

Now.seventeen years later Christopher Darden the same prosecutor who TOLD

Simpson to put on those gloves is accusing the defense of EVIDENCE TAMPERING

.

SOT - CHRISTOPHER DARDEN / FORMER PROSECUTOR - "WHAT I THINK HAPPENED IS THAT THE DEFENSE MANIPULATED THAT

GLOVE SO THAT IT DID NOT APPEAR TO LOOK AS IF IT FIT."

Darden claims attorney Johnnie Cochran tore the gloves' lining so that

Simpson's fingers would get stuck. Cochran died in 2005 but this morning

another member of Simpson's legal "dream team" is firing back.

SOT - ALAN DERSHOWITZ / FORMER O.J. SIMPSON ATTORNEY / "IF HE HAD THE

COMPLAINT HE SHOULD HAVE MADE IT IN FRONT OF THE JUDGE. /edit/ NOW

SEVENTEEN YEARS LATER HE MAKES A SERIOUS ALLEGATION AGAINST A DEAD LAWYER.

THERE OUGHT TO BE A FULL AND COMPLETE INVESTIGATION AND IF HE'S LYING, WHICH

I AM CONVINCED HE IS, HE SHOULD BE DISBARRED.

Darden could not be reached for comment. but SOME LEGAL EXPERTS believe no

harm was done.

TODAY'S FORECAST-3-SHOT GRAPHIC

After a couple dry sunny days, rain chances will gradually be on the rise as a front slowly slides in from the north. Since the front will only be only crawling our way, the areas most at risk for seeing a passing shower will be locations farther north.

If you're in Charlotte or Desoto County, you'll see the most shower activity followed by Lee, Glades, and Hendry County. Locations across Collier County may even see a few passing showers later today, but coverage there will be fairly spotty.

Even for areas that see the best chance of rain, showers will still be fairly scattered, so today shouldn't be a complete washout for anyone. Just expect showers to pass through from time to time.

We'll even see a fair amount of sun through your Sunday along with a refreshing breeze out of the southwest from 5-15 mph. Temperatures will be close to yesterday's numbers, so most spots should warm into the upper 80s and low 90s.

By tonight we'll still see the possibility for some isolated rain, but later in the night the main target areas for rain will be close to the coast.

On Monday and Tuesday, the front will stall over Central and South Florida, keeping a good chance of showers in our forecast both days. On Monday most of us will get our best chance of rain in the morning and early afternoon, and then on Tuesday both day parts will be fair game for rain.
