Letterman Extortion Suspect Looks to Tiger Woods Scandal for Relief
The TV producer accused of shaking down David Letterman in return for keeping mum about the TV talk show host's affairs is drawing on the Tiger Woods sex scandal to try to bolster his defense. In court papers filed Tuesday, Robert "Joe" Halderman's lawyer cited published reports that Woods paid an alleged mistress millions of dollars to stay silent. Attorney Gerald Shargel suggested that since the woman hasn't been charged with a crime, Halderman shouldn't be, either.
