Woman to be tried for stalking John Cusack

A woman charged with stalking actor John Cusack has been ordered to stand trial by a judge in Los Angeles.
Emily Leatherman was arrested outside the Hollywood star's home in Malibu, California last March and charged with stalking the actor.
The 33-year-old is facing up to three years in prison if she is found guilty on one count of felony stalking.
She will also face one charge of failing to obey a restraining order and one of petty theft.
Each of the charges carries a maximum sentence of six months imprisonment.
'Grosse Pointe Blank' star Cusack was granted a temporary restraining order against Leatherman in 2006.
The order stated that Leatherman must stay at least 500 feet away from him, his home, his work, his car and offices or companies in which he does business.
Leatherman was also arrested last year outside Tom Cruise's home, also on suspicion of violating a restraining order.
