Californiaman Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Dave, Dave, Dave. CBS employee pleads not guilty in Letterman plot By DAVID BAUDER (AP) – 1 hour ago NEW YORK — A CBS News employee has pleaded not guilty to trying to blackmail David Letterman for $2 million in a plot that spurred the TV host to acknowledge sexual relationships with female staffers on his show. Robert J. Halderman entered his plea as he was arraigned on an attempted grand larceny charge Friday in a Manhattan court. Bail has been set at $200,000. Prosecutors say Halderman demanded $2 million last month in exchange for not releasing information that would ruin Letterman's reputation. Letterman told his viewers Thursday that the threat concerned sexual liaisons with female staffers. Authorities say the plot prompted a sting operation at a New York hotel, with Letterman's lawyer secretly recording Halderman's threats. Halderman is a producer for the true-crime show "48 Hours."

NeoConMan Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 True-crime show "48 Hours." That's the funniest part of the whole story! :-/ I can't even watch that sh!t. Takes them 44 minutes of airtime to tell 5 minutes worth of story with a soap-opera slant. You want details and objectivity? Look elsewhere.
