The Intellectual Property Defense

The Bad Lawyer blawg previously discussed the effort of Gerald Shargel, legendary NYC defense attorney to get the Letterman extortion charges dismissed on a quasi-intellectual property defense.  In essence, the attempted extortion of David Letterman by Robert "Joe" Halderman was just an attempt to sell a screenplay to Letterman, according to the motion Shargel filed in an effort to obtain a dismisseal of criminal charges against his client.

The Judge ain't buying, according to the New York Daily News which calls the motion a "Tiger" motion in tribute to Tiger Woods.
