The lawyer of David Letterman‘s extortionist is trying to use the Tiger Woods scandal to get his client out of going to jail.
Attorney Gerald Shargel said that Robert “Joe” Halderman was simply trying to get paid to stay quiet, just like Rachel Uchitel did. And since whore #1 didn’t get punished, neither should Joe.
What? Is he serious!?
In Shargel’s new bullshit claim, he writes that offering a “very marketable story” to Letterman and keeping it confidential was part of the deal. He adds: “Evidence of celebrity misdeeds has a significant fair market value… Evidence of such misdeeds is routinely suppressed through private business arrangement.”
Riiiight.
We have a feeling demanding $2 million out of revenge is a lot different than whatever Gloria Allred did for her clients.
But good luck with that in court.
