'ORLANDO, Fla. - Former astronaut Lisa Nowak can remove an electronic monitoring bracelet from her ankle, a circuit court judge ruled Thursday ahead of her trial for allegedly attacking a romantic rival.

Nowak argued it was expensive, bulky and uncomfortable. Judge Marc L. Lubet said that didn't matter, but Nowak had behaved well enough over the past 7 months to earn release.

The woman Nowak is accused of attacking, Colleen Shipman, argued for the monitoring to stay, saying she still feared Nowak.'

"Expensive, bulky, and uncomfortable." So is an adult-sized diaper but that didn't stop her from wearing one all the way until she got to her destination, right?
