Is anyone else thinking this isn't enough of a cap on the situation? Sure the restraining order was removed, but there's still some woman out there convinced he is "sending" her thoughts and believes her code name is Oprah.

If I were Letterman, I would be afraid to leave my house.

Does everyone think this woman really believes all this stuff, or is she just looking for publicity?

Edit:
If she IS just doing it for publicity, that's not a good sign either. But certainly not as bad as if she is serious.
 
She isn't the only person looking for publicity here, I would venture to say that the judge that issued the restraining order, knwing how stupid it was, wanted his 15 minutes of fame.

That the courts time was wasted with this is lunacy, they should bill her AND the sitting judge for the court costs.

As far as Letterman is concerned, he's probably jsut happy this one hasn't shown up at his house with a rifle....yet. yuk yuk
 
Yeah, I was surprised that a judge would give a thumbs up to a restraining order demanding someone stop harassing you with psychic powers.

Restraining orders are fascist garbage anyway. Is there evidence of a crime or not? A court shouldn't have the power to baby-sit people not convicted of anything.
 
Carl, how do you feel about a restraining order as part of the adjudication of a court case after someone has been convicted of stalking or harassment or assault?

If someone is actually convicted of something via a real trial, that would be different. However, it seems like in most cases a person should be either free or locked up. It depends on what kind of harassment though. If someone is convicted of harassment for just generally being an a-hole, maybe a restraining order is a good slap in the face. Assault makes me think they should just be locked up until they are ready to live in the real world.

Using a stand-alone restraining order request like the one in question here is just a way of bypassing the generally accepted due process and evidence standards. I guess the rationale is that it's not as bad as being locked up, so it's OK to ignore their rights a little?
 
Generally what happens is that a temporary restraining order is issued which is almost pro forma. All you have to do is request it and it gets issued. Then within a certain amount of time (like 10 days) it expires unless a hearing is held in which the court finds that it should remain in place.

Its surprising though that something crazy on its face gets through. I mean, for a TRO its not for a judge to decide the facts but apparently her claims were crazy. For example, I don't think here claims were that Letterman was calling her and harassing her, but that he was sending her mind signals!

That can really screw people up too. A restraining order can be used to make it illegal for someone to ever own a gun, even like a sheriff, as a "domestic violence" conviction.
 
Shann's right, we have that now in Illinois. If ANYONE that you have either:

1. Lived with.
2. Have a child in common with.
3. Were/Are married to.

Goes and gets a TRO, BAMM no questions asked, when they serve it, you have to hand over your state gun I.D. card and any guns you have.

No trial, no hearing, just gone until YOU have to go to court and get the TRO removed.

I generally approve of TRO's in most cases, but there is an element of "guilty until you prove yourself innocent." in some of the cases.

Sorry VG, Raz gets the credit for that scrumptious photo. Maybe there are more where that one came from?

And are those "where-do-I-spit" lips???:barf:
 
There were a bunch of articles about her, but I only found one picture. She does look like somebody's worst nightmare. :eek:
 
Didn't Letterman also have a stalker a few years ago that broke into his house and claimed to be his wife? Must be that crazies watch those late night guys night after night and start to think that they have a relationship with them.
