Cusack Stalker Fesses Up, Strikes Deal

John Cusack's stalking case didn't require a runaway jury. Or any jury, for that matter.
Emily Leatherman pleaded no contest today to a felony count of stalking the actor as part of a deal that will spare the 33-year-old any jail time.
Just two days ago, it seemed all but certain that Leatherman would go to trial on the charge when a Los Angeles Superior Court judge put the kibosh on a would-be plea deal after determining that the woman did not willingly accept the bargain.
Any lingering uncertainty has apparently been attended to, however, and Leatherman accepted the original deal: five years' probation, mandatory psychiatric counseling and avoiding Cusack's homes and businesses for the next 10 years.
Leatherman, who told the court she was only seeking help from Cusack after falling victim to a sex crime, has been behind bars since March, when she was arrested near the High Fidelity star's Malibu home.
