As accused David Letterman extortionist, Robert Halderman's attorney's attempt to have the case against him dismissed, reports emerge that the entire case will be the subject of a ‘Law & Order’ episode.
Rene Balcer, executive producer of the NBC series, told Access Hollywood that the show was working on an episode with an extortion plot when news of the Letterman case broke.
“We were already working on a blackmail story that’s somewhat more violent… And who knows? This one may add a spin to the story we’re working on,” said Balcer.

However, Access reports that a spokesperson from the show confirmed that the Letterman story will air.
Instead of a male, late night talk show host, the story will feature a female, daytime, celebrity talk show host. The host will have a number of affairs with the show’s staff, having managed to do so for some time. That is, until a blackmailer threatens to air her dalliances unless she pays out $3 million.
Halderman appeared in court on Tuesday, fighting the charges against him with a high-priced legal defense. He proclaimed he is innocent of the charges and that he only wanted to sell Letterman a screenplay.
The former CBS News producer is accused of attempting to extort the ‘Late Show’ host for $2 million to keep quiet about the talk show host’s affairs with several staff members.
