Tyra's Stalker Found GUILTY... of Stalking
A Brooklyn supermarket worker was convicted this morning of stalking Tyra Banks - although the obsessed superfan won't do any jail time.
Brady Green, 39, was found guilty one day after Tyra testified the defendant's stalking left her afraid for her safety.
"The behavior was hounding," said Criminal Court Judge James Burke, who handed down the verdict after hearing closing arguments Thursday morning.
Burke, who said he would spare Green any time behind bars, told the defendant's lawyer to help the Banks-obsessed man find a new place to live.
"Put Mr. Green in a location where he can thrive," Burke said. "And that location is not likely to be the city of New York."
Green was convicted of stalking and harassment, and the judge extended an order of protection to keep him clear of Banks. Green could have faced 90 days in jail.
"I'm disappointed with the verdict, but I'm glad the judge did not send him to jail," said defense attorney Jeffrey Berman.
Although his lawyer portrayed Green as an uber-fan who posed no threat to Banks, prosecutors and the judge disagreed.
