"She says she doesn't want to wear her monitor, Houston! What makes HER special??"

ORLANDO, FLA. — Former astronaut Lisa Nowak wants a judge to let her remove the ankle bracelet that allows authorities to track her location as she awaits trial for allegedly attacking a romantic rival, saying it is "an unnecessary and excessive expense."
Nowak is paying $105 a week — $2,940 so far — for the monitoring device as a condition of her release, according to a court filing her attorney says was made Thursday. The clerk at the Circuit Court in Orange County could not find the filing, but said it could be in the pipeline.
Nowak also argues that the device interferes with her ability to exercise, which is a requirement for a Navy officer, and her ability to drive, fly on a commercial airplane and monitor her children in the pool.
"The device is not small, comfortable, lightweight or unobtrusive as its supplier would have one believe," the filing says.
Nowak has pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted kidnapping, battery and burglary with assault. She is accused of attacking another woman, Air Force Capt. Colleen Shipman, in a parking lot at Orlando International Airport last February. Nowak told police she and Shipman were vying for the affection of former astronaut Bill Oefelein.
Kepler Funk, attorney for Shipman, said he planned to fight the motion.
"Assuming the judge allows me to speak on the topic, I'm going to tell the judge that Ms. Shipman still has fear regarding Ms. Nowak," Funk said.
In an interview with detectives, Nowak says she confronted Shipman because she wanted to know "where she stands" in the bizarre love triangle.
Nowak, 44, allegedly attacked Shipman with pepper spray and tried to jump into her vehicle. Police say Nowak was carrying a duffel bag with a steel mallet, 4-inch knife and a BB gun.

You like to brag
that you’re some
high altitude piece of tail
But you are just a
lovestruck moonbat stalker
who is damn lucky to get bail
I don’t think her husband kept her.
I’d hit her...if she didn’t have any idea of who I was, where I lived, the work I did, etc.
Heck, I’d have to wear a bag over MY face, just for safety.
"She says she doesn't want to wear her monitor, Houston! What makes HER special??"
Obviously being “Successful” & “Intelligent” does not preclude one from doing stupid things.
Hmmmm. Last I heard, he did, but I stopped following this story after Greta started giving “Diaper Reports” on the hour, LOL!
Yes, I heard they divorced. I am surprised he lets her have the kids though.
He was cruisin' before she was... No sainthood to anoint any of these players with!
Ohhh, the space-ho is back in the news......
Would 
change that opinion?
Actions have consequences.
Nice video.
She could choose to go to jail instead.
“Flight” risk?
thinking her dumb ass was special... is was what got her into that monitor in the first place!!! i see she's learned nothing.
Naw, that’s only 5% of the time. She can go home to visit mom when in manic mode.
As a "flight" risk, maybe she should use some "shuttle diplomacy" to gain the judge's trust. : )
I thought her husband had the kids. Why don’t they just put her in jail while awaiting trial?
no way- and she should be on suicide watch too
