1 “Teen charged with pretending to be a doctor: I never said I was an M.D.”

2 An 18-year-old charged with posing as a doctor told ABC News that "just because someone has a title 'doctor' in front of their name does not necessarily imply M.D." Malachi Love-Robinson, who police say posed as a medical doctor and treated patients in West Palm Beach, Florida, said his training involved shadowing many doctors. "I'm not portraying as an M.D. I never said I've gone to school to be an M.D.," he told ABC. He said he had a Ph.D., but wouldn't disclose what field it was in. Sheriff's deputies in West Palm Beach arrested Love-Robinson on Tuesday afternoon and accused him of practicing medicine without a license. The website for Love-Robinson's practice lists the teen as its president, CEO and founder. It refers to Love-Robinson as "Dr." and places acronyms after his name, including Ph.D. and HHP-C, which is used for those involved in home health and personal care. A Ph.D. is generally not a medical degree.

3 In Other News  President Barack Obama, the public and members of the extended Supreme Court family will pay their respects to Justice Antonin Scalia Friday, as he lies in repose inside the building where he built a legacy as one of the most conservative stalwarts to serve on the high court. A private ceremony for Scalia will begin at 9:30 a.m. Friday in the Great Hall. The casket will be placed on the Lincoln Catafalque, which was loaned to the court by Congress for the ceremony, and a 2007 portrait of Scalia by Nelson Shanks will be displayed.  U.S. warplanes on Friday struck an ISIS camp in Libya where a senior operative in the terrorist group -- Noureddine Chouchane -- was believed to be, a U.S. official told CNN.
