3. The lawyer is extorting too. Threatening to reveal more personal stuff unless the case is dismissed is the same as blackmail.

4. I don't think they had videotape or film when he was 17. Maybe he made one of those paper flip cards?

5. I hear he's the one who filmed and released Carrie's diddle video to keep the heat off his sleazy butt !

6. THERE IS NO CASE. This will be dropped. Letterman is a douche bag, a liar and was having this affair while married. There is not enough evidence to convict Halderman for extortion. He was selling a screenplay about Letterman's life which should have been worth at least 2 million. I would have liked to have seen that movie made, with Letterman promising work and gags on his show to interns who hd sex with him, in the office. LOL. Meanwhile the only thing Letterman was trying to gag them with was his shriveled willie. What a gas this trial will be!! Letterman on the stand sweating and stammering as interns are paraded on the stand too... priceless!!!

7. Letterman was the one who cried "extortion" remember? Then, he went on his show and admitted in his smary way, "I had sex with interns."
And they audience actually laughed?!?!

Letterman caused this all to go down! He cheated on his wife (yes they were married when he was having the affair as you'll soon see) with another man's live in girlfriend. Letterman knew that Helderman had him by the balls, so Letterman went to his lawyers and they decided to cry 'extortion' to throw off the dogs and make Letterman the 'victim.' And you're falling for it folks!! Letterman should have a top ten list of why this was not really extortion. LOL!

8. Letterman should be fired. Not because he sleeps with his staff, not because he's ugly and old, not because he's cranky, not because he's arrogant, but because he is BORING as hell. I've tried watching his dumb show but I just want to barf watching that phoney baloney Letterman. Yuck!

10. If it's true that the DA's office was involved in the set up for giving the check over to Halderman then they have a case.

I want to know how many suspects in any case don't want the charges dropped. I have a feeling the percentage is very very low maybe even zero. So of course Halderman's attorney's going to ask that the case be dropped.

Whether or not Letterman having an affair with an employee isn't what is on trial here. It's 2 separate issues.

11. Come on folks.... get real! It doesn't matter if Letterman is still having an affair with this girl. It's not against the law and it doesn't give anybody the right to blackmail him over it. You may not like the morals of it but that's another story. And for those of you who are calling for his dismissal you make me laugh. If all the people in this country were fired for having an affair in the workplace the line could stretch around the world. There wouldn't be a soul left in Hollywood or the entertainment business either so get ready to watch reruns.

12. LETTERMAN IS A BOSS THAT HAS TAKEN SEXUAL ADVANTAGE OF HIS POSITION OF AUTHORITY OVER HIS FEMALE SUBORDINATES, I WONDER IF & WHEN THE STORY WILL SURFACE THAT THIS SAME THING OCCURED WITH ANY MALE SUBORDINATES??

13. I don't get this guy's appeal at all. And I don't believe he did end the affair when he said he did.

14. 8. Letterman should be fired. Not because he sleeps with his staff, not because he's ugly and old, not because he's cranky, not because he's arrogant, but because he is BORING as hell. I've tried watching his dumb show but I just want to barf watching that phoney baloney Letterman. Yuck!

15. Letterman should be fired. Not because he was having sex with his staff, not because he is old and ugly, not because he is cranky, not because he is arrogant. He should be fired because he is a phoney-baloney and BORING as hell. The way his bald bandleader sucks up to him makes me want to barf. Don't watch the silly, dumb show anymore. Don't like Conan O'Brian, either. In my city, re-runs of Two and a Half Men are on, so I do get a laugh before I go to bed. Wish NBC would bring back Jay Leno at that hour. Worse mistake any TV Network has ever made was trading Leno for
O'Brian. O'Brian is as boring as Letterman.
