Ex-Karate Teacher Gets Trial On Murder Solicitation Charges

PITTSBURGH (AP) – A former karate instructor accused of sexually assaulting multiple students will stand trial on charges that he tried to have witnesses killed.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reports 29-year-old Michael Scherbanic, of South Park, waived his right Friday to a preliminary hearing on charges that he asked his cellmate to kill or intimidate his victims.
His attorney Richard Narvin says his client “maintains he is innocent” of the charges.
