A judge agreed Friday to toss much of the evidence against Nowak, a former astronaut accused of making a diaper-assisted, 1,000-mile drive to confront a woman vying for the affections of the same space shuttle pilot.
Investigators took advantage of 44-year-old Lisa Nowak, who had not slept for more than 24 hours, coercing her into giving information in a lengthy arrest interview, Orange County Circuit Judge Marc L. Lubet said.
Lubet granted a defense motion to throw out comments she made during the six-hour interview and items seized during a search of her BMW, including maps to alleged victim Colleen Shipman's home, large garbage bags, latex gloves and some soiled toddler-sized diapers.

The fix is in. And possibly the prosecution is in on it.
I think the public gets its jollies over these stupid...although serious...crimes.....
her normal life is over....her space career and her military career...I suspect she will be in major therapy for some time....hope she recovers to realize her mistake....
She’s stationed in Corpus Christie but pretty much kept incommunicado with the general base population...
I’m still wondering how Ms. Nowak drove from Texas to Florida without stopping for gas, even if she avoided stopping for restrooms. That’s a two-day trip.
Probably had one of those Pogue carburetors the gov’t has been surprising for fifty years. NASA’s part of that huge conspiracy. The real reason this ruling — which amounts to a dismissal of charges — got made was because the defendant threatened to reveal information in her possession regarding NASA’s moon landing hoax. ;’)
Well, I'd say that the victim certainly has a civil case, and should be entitled to receive monetary damages, but as to this being a criminal case, we'll have to see how the evidence plays out. Like I said, under the circumstances, any shyster would give his left gonad to be able to get her off, because there's a substantial chance of doing so. Then the ambulance chaser can sell his services for big bucks once he becomes a minor celebrity.
NASA ROCKET GAL
Packed my guns and knives last night, pre-flight.
Zero hour nine A.M.
And I’ll be flyin’ east on I-10 by then.
I missed my exit - I missed it twice.
It’s lonely on the interstates
On such a long and mindless drive.....
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time,
Till I’m done and I hope that no one finds
I’m not the gal they think I am at home.
Oh no no no - I’m a love crazed rocket gal.
Rocket gal - burning up the long dark road alone.
This ain’t the kind of place you want to sit.
In fact my diaper’s cold as sh.. mud
But there’s no place to change them when they’re full.
And this other woman, I don’t understand.
But she’ll be gone within the week
From this rocket gal - a real crazy rocket gal
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...
Men can’t get justice in the US and women don’t experience justice in the US.
Absolutely false.
After all if you look at prison populations there are just as many women as men behind bars.
Check the execution statistics, no gender gap either.
Child custody? Equal between dads and moms, as are child support payments and alimony.
You really need to check you facts before making such outrageous statements...
When you get right down to it it was really a crappy caper!
