How did a veteran “48 Hours” producer end up being accused of a $2 million blackmail attempt on David Letterman? madonna-letterman.jpg

“There is another side of this story,” Gerald Shargel, attorney for Robert J. Halderman, said. “This story is far more complicated.”

What could the plot to the other side of the story be?

Halderman has already entered a “not guilty” plea to first-degree attempted grand larceny.

According to Manhattan District Attorney Robert M. Morgenthau, Halderman wrote to Letterman stating that he needed to “make a large chunk of money.” Attached to his letter was a one-page screenplay treatment, which described how Letterman would have a “ruined reputation” after details of the CBS “Late Show” host’s sexual relationships with young female employees were revealed.

The 51-year-old producer used a novel method to deliver the “screenplay.” Early in the morning on Sept. 9 the letter and other materials were left in the back seat of Letterman’s car, which was parked outside his Manhattan home.

Unbelievable.

While serving up caf and decaf, the java guy was secretly working to commit mass murder.

Cream and sugar with your terrorist attack, madam? Glazed or jelly donut with your bomb blast, sir?

The recent arrest of suspected terrorist Najibullah Zazi reminds us all of the important role surveillance plays in safeguarding our people and our nation.

Zazi is in custody on charges of conspiracy to use weapons of mass destruction. He was accused last week of conspiring to launch a bombing attack in America with the help of some common beauty supplies and insidious training from al-Qaida in Pakistan.

The terrorism suspect maintains that he was not part of a terrorist cell, according to his attorney, Arthur Folsom.

The 24-year-old Afghan immigrant worked as a vendor-cart operator in Lower Manhattan. He sold coffee and donuts. EXCERPT: FOR MORE CLICK HERE

Thanks to some boasting by 34-year-old Matthew Eaton and his 26-year-old wife Laura on an episode of “Dr. Phil,” it was revealed that the couple procured a cool $100,000 by stealing toys and selling them on eBay. Excerpt – for more CLICK HERE
