Alleged Extortionist In David Letterman Case Wants Plea Bargain?

We wonder how Dave would feel about that?

Robert Halderman, the producer accused in the extortion plot against David Letterman, is supposedly offering to plead guilty in the case in exchange for a one-year prison term as opposed to the 15 years he could potentially face if convicted!

Halderman’s lawyer is denying that he made an offer saying that “there have been no plea negotiations. None whatsoever.”

Halderman, who is currently out on $200,000 bail, has admitted on tape that he got involved with the extortion plan because his ex-wife moved to Colorado with their son and he needed the money to visit him.

We guess 48 Hours wasn’t paying the guy enough!
