David Letterman Extortionist Released

Filed under: Legal Matters > David Letterman

That seemed fast!

Robert Halderman, the former CBS 48 Hours producer who was sent to jail for attempted extortion of David Letterman, was released from jail after serving 4 months out of 6 month sentence.

We wonder how Dave feels about that?

6 months, out in 4 is all a blackmail conviction gets you? Not much of a penalty. I might as well give it a try: Hey, Perez! If you don't give me fifty dollars, I'll tell everyone you're gay.

He didn't threaten to physically harm or kill anyone - he just threatened to defame Letterman about his slutty behavior right? 4 months is about right. He looked kinda hot before with the goatee - at least doable - he should grow back the goatee to cover up his fugly chin. Hi David Letterman! Call me for a good time!
