NEW YORK AP – The TV producer accused of shaking down David Letterman to keep mum about his 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.
