This guy sure knows how to bargain! Appparently it’s no longer a matter of whether Charlie Sheen, charged with attacking his wife in Aspen last Christmas, can make a deal with the DA, but which deal he’ll decide to take. According to TMZ, if Sheen pleads guilty to a misdemeanor, they’ll drop his felony menacing charge and he can either serve 30 days in prison (Us Magazine says 45) or enjoy 2 years of probation (there’s potentially another unspecified probationary deal that would leave his record clean). While Charlie reportedly wants to avoid a month without cigarettes, he could be in for something far rougher if he takes probation and gets in trouble again.
Of course, he could still decide to risk it all and fight the felony charge in court. But with a new court date set for June 7th “in contemplation of a final disposition being made that’s acceptable to the district attorney’s office,” according to Sheen’s attorney, it doesn’t sound like the highest paid actor on television is pressing his luck.
