Conan's "Most Dangerous Fan" Found Fit for Trial
Were the late-night talk shows not in reruns as a result of the writers' strike, we imagine this would make for comedy gold.
A priest accused of stalking Conan O'Brien was found fit to stand trial Friday, even though his lawyer acknowledged he had been treated for psychological problems over the last year.
New York State Justice Abraham Clott issued the ruling after Reverend David Ajemian, a priest in the Archdiocese of Boston, was examined by a court-appointed psychologist.
Ajemian was later released after posting $2,500 bail.
The clergyman's attorney, Eric Seiff, agreed that his client was fit to stand trial but pointed out the priest has been taking medication and has been in treatment for mental-health issues.
Ajemian, 46, was spotted by NBC security and arrested last week as he tried to enter a Late Night taping.
Over the past 14 months, the apparently troubled man of the cloth had allegedly been writing O'Brien notes on parish letterhead, showing up at the talk-show host's Rockefeller Center studio and contacting O'Brien's parents.
"Is this the way you treat your most dangerous fans? You owe me big-time pal. I want a public confession before I ever consider giving you absolution—or [I want] a spot on your couch," Ajemian wrote in a Feb.20 missive, apparently written after he was denied a spot in O'Brien's audience.
He also said he knew where O'Brien lived. "Remember [mobster] Frank Costello once dodged a bullet in your building and so can you," the priest wrote.
O'Brien apparently came face-to-face with Ajemian at a September 2006 event in Lawrence, Massachusetts, which took place shortly before the unwanted correspondence commenced.
Website celebslam.com uncovered photos that show the Late Night host chatting with Ajemian at the opening of the Cor Unum Meal Center, an organization that provides food for the homeless.
The two men also attended Harvard at approximately the same time, but it's unclear whether their paths ever crossed.
Since the stalking allegations emerged, Ajemian has been placed on leave by the Archdiocese of Boston and can't minister publicly. His last posting was at St. Patrick Parish in Stoneham, but he was removed in June.
An archdiocese spokesman had no comment on whether the move was related to the allegations; however, Ajemian penned a July 2 letter to NBC security in which he asked "why you chose to raise this matter with my superiors after I left you a clear message by phone several weeks ago that I would cease all contact with the show," according to court papers.
If convicted of the charges against him, including aggravated harassment and stalking, Ajemian could face up to a year behind bars.
With his Late Night platform currently dark as a result of the ongoing writers' strike, O'Brien had no comment on the situation.
