Appearing on several TV network morning shows yesterday, Gerald Shargel, lawyer for David Letterman‘s accused extortionist Robert “Joe” Halderman, admitted to his client’s depositing of a faux payoff check in sum of $2 million, but insisted that does not constitute attempted grand larceny, and the full story has yet to come out. He added:
“But the question at the end of the day is, what was his intent? One of the things that the prosecution has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, one of the elements of the offense, is that Joe Halderman had specific criminal intent. And I say to you and to the public that we shouldn’t rush to judgment, because I think, at the end of the day, when the case is tried and after the cross-examination of David Letterman and the full story comes out, I’m confident that a jury will not find that specific criminal intent.”
