The Letterman Case To Go To Trial

A judge in New York says a jury will hear the charges of attempted blackmail involving a Television producer and late night host David Letterman. The defendant says he was simply trying to sell Letterman a screenplay based on the host's life.



The Play's The Thing

Did Bobby "Joe" try to blackmail Dave?
Or was it just a business deal?
The judge insists we'll go to trial
To decide which version is for real.

The defendant says he wrote a script
Adapted for the silver screen.
And offered it to Letterman
For good old fashion money, green.

The man says blackmail or extortion
Is not a thing that he'd consider.
He simply wanted to give ol' Dave
A chance to be the highest bidder.
