Rape charges against a Wisconsin man who had sex with his comatose wife is likely to be dropped after a court of appeals rejected Thursday a police video of the intercourse as evidence.

The District 4 Court of Appeals ruled that the video recorded at the Divine Savior Nursing Home in Portage in 2005 was illegally obtained by police and violated the constitutional right to privacy of David W. Johnson, 59.

Professional and controversial wrestler Chris "The Skunk" Antal is in a unique match with an unusual opponent - Marlborough City Mayor Nancy Stevens.

Police found more than 200 marijuana plants growing in a south Florida mall.

Investigators are still looking for the growers of the plants at the Mall of the Americas in West Miami-Dade County, who they say had a sophisticated operation.

In addition to using fake fireworks at Friday evening's grand opening of the Summer Games in Beijing, the ceremony also used the recorded voice of a young female singer who did not have impressive-enough looks to appear on the globally-broadcast show.

According to the Guardian Unlimited, nine-year-old Lin Miaoke, who sang "Ode to the Motherland" merely lip-synched. Seven-year old Yang Peiyi, who was considered not photogenic enough for international stardom, was the real voice behind the song.

The nation that gave the world counterfeit toys, fake toothpaste and poisoned pet food also gave 3 billion television viewers a bogus fireworks show of Olympic proportions Friday night, according to media reports Monday.

The spectacular fireworks telecast to billions of viewers around the world at the end of the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics Friday night were largely faked using computer animation and the audience wasn't told, the Beijing Times newspaper revealed.
