BREAKING NEWS: Accused David Letterman Extortionist Will Stand Trial
Posted on Jan 19, 2010 @ 10:11AM
David Letterman's accused extortionist, CBS news producer Robert J. "Joe" Halderman, will stand trial after a judge in Manhattan state Supreme Court refused Tuesday morning to dismiss the grand larceny charges filed against him.
Letterman admitted on his Oct. 1 broadcast that he had testified before a grand jury earlier that day, because of the alleged $2 million extortion scheme; he told his audience that "the creepy stuff was that I have had sex with women who work for me on this show,” an admission which ignited a firestorm of scrutiny towards the veteran talk show host.

Halderman has pleaded not guilty to the charges; if the producer is found guilty of attempted grand larceny, he faces up to 15 years in state prison.
Halderman is due back in court March 9.

Halderman was connected to "48 Hours" for all those years. He knew what would happen, seldom do blackmailers get away with crimes such as his. People that live beyond their means as he did resort to desperation, he should be ashamed.
