Sheryl Crow stalker...
From the Associated Press...
------------- NEW YORK (AP) _ Singer Sheryl Crow testified Monday that she was concerned about her family's safety after she learned an alleged stalker had asked them to help contact her. Crow, who appeared relaxed on the witness stand, said she heard about the accused stalker, Ambrose Kappos, from her father, attorney Wendell Crow, who told her Kappos had visited him in his law offices in Kennett, Mo., with a purported message from God. ``Did that give you cause for concern?'' the pop rocker was asked by Assistant District Attorney Christopher Hill. ``Absolutely,'' Crow replied. ``I was concerned about my family.'' She said it was relatively easy for her to take care of her own security but she would have difficulty arranging for theirs. Kappos, 38, is being tried in Manhattan's state Supreme Court on charges of burglary and stalking. He allegedly pursued Crow from July 2002 until his arrest on Oct. 6, 2003, at the Hammerstein Ballroom, about four blocks from the Empire State Building. The original police report identified Kappos as a former Navy SEAL until his discharge in June 2003. However, prosecutors now say he was a diver in a unit that worked with the SEALs, but was never part of the elite unit. Crow said she knew little about Kappos except what her family had told her. She testified that she had seen him once, standing outside her dressing room on Oct. 6 as she left the ballroom, but had never met or spoken to him. ``I thought it strange that someone would be outside the dressing room who was not supposed to be there,'' Crow said. Crow said that minutes after leaving the building, Kappos approached her group. ``I was headed into the limo and suddenly there's chaos and I was pushed into the car, and my manager was telling someone, 'Back away! Back away!''' ``We drove away, and that's when Pam Wertheimer (a member of her management team) told me who 'Ambrose' was,'' Crow testified. As Crow testified, Kappos, watched her intently, sometimes smiling faintly. After his arrest, Kappos told police and prosecutors on videotape that the word ``fan'' was inadequate to describe his attraction to Crow. He said he was a ``spiritual twin,'' and that he and the pop rocker were destined to marry and have children. Kappos's lawyer, Stan Hickman, asked Crow on cross-examination whether the defendant had ever contacted her personally and whether he had threatened her. Crow said Kappos had not. Earlier in the day, Crow's sister, Kathryn, and their father also testified. Crow was the last witness called by the prosecution, which then played his videotaped statement.

I would never harass Miss Crow. Though I do find her to be flip worthy attractive, I have already met her and been stunned speechless by her beauty until I found her to be down to earth, funny, and utterly cool. |
