Robert “Joe” Halderman, a former television producer, pleaded guilty to grand larceny in the case where he tried to blackmail Dacid Letterman. He acknowledged he tried to take $2 million from the TV show host.
Letterman made the whole thing into a joke at the time, and it actually helped him get over any criticism that followed. Unlike most celebs that try and just apologize and praise god, Letterman took it in stride and just blew off the digging into his private life, and sexual affairs. From the sound of it he must not have much in the way of
joint pains if he was really getting down to business that often.
Under the plea agreement, Halderman must give prosecutors all copies of any diary entries, photos, screenplay notes or other materials he has concerning Letterman and must agree never to reveal the contents.
Halderman apologized to the host of the “Late Show,” also on CBS, as he spelled out the details of his crime in a Manhattan court, reading a prepared statement at first so quickly that the judge asked him to slow down.
“I attempted to extort $2 million from David Letterman by threatening to disclose personal and private information about him, whether true or false,” he said.
