Ex-Astronaut Wants Ankle Bracelet Off - Says it cuts her ankle and gets in the way


ORLANDO FL - Interviewing former astronaut Lisa Nowak was "like a chess game," a detective testified Friday as Nowak's attorney urged a judge to throw out evidence and a police interview in which she talked about the alleged attack on a romantic rival.
Nowak also took the stand and asked the court to let her remove her electronic monitoring bracelet, complaining that it cuts her ankle and gets in the way of her military boot lace.
As Nowak testified, the rival she was accused of pepper spraying in an airport parking lot sat a few rows away, frowning.
Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman told the judge she is still afraid of Nowak and feels better knowing she is monitored. Full Story - Video - Globe Tabloid - Hawaiian Airlines - Misty Cigarettes
