Producer in Letterman blackmail case gets out early

After serving four months in jail, the TV producer who tried to blackmail David Letterman is free.

Robert "Joe" Halderman got out early for good behavior on his six-month sentence, the Associated Press reported.

The case was highlighted by revelations of Letterman's affairs with women who worked for him, a fact Letterman acknowledged on his late night television show.
