The guy must have been brain dead to think even for a moment that he could possibly get away with this. Glad justice has been served. Btw, I wonder what's become of their mutual girlfriend...we never hear a thing about her.

Halderman is probably kicking himself in the head..he should have hired Gloria Allred to do all his extorting. LOL! Would have pocketed a lot more and stayed out of jail. She makes extortion legit.

Anybody with half a brain could see that this was an extortion attempt. Why Halderman and his attorney just kept stonewalling and denying - only to plead guilty today is beyond me.
