A Sad Day For Domestic Violence Victims - No Jail And No Probation For Charlie Sheen?


TMZ is reporting there are two possible plea options being discussed for Charlie Sheen today when he appears in court in Aspen later this afternoon. Both of the deals on the table involve no jail time which is bad enough, but also reportedly both deal involve either no probation or such little time on probation that it does not even matter. Really? So what is the point of even having domestic violence laws? Apparently there are no reasons. Apparently as long as you have the resources you can threaten and harm with impunity and nothing will happen to the perpetrator.

I'm sure the victims of domestic violence in Colorado and especially in Aspen have decided to become a little more silent now. What help can they ever expect?

Should I feel amazed that Denise Richards and Kelly Preston never open their yaps about him?

I wonder if he paid them off once... or continues to as he raises the bar of his brutal rages.

Also... does Chuck Lorre still think to himself... "Well, working with Psycho Sheen is STILL better/sweeter/nicer than producing Roseanne"?

Too bad Beverly Campbell blew the first plea.

Enty, when you post things like this, it really makes me doubt you are a lawyer. It does seem we all know that CS is a douche, and it also seems like we all know what happened that day in his house between him and his ex-wife. But, do we? We have a drunk, coked out witness / victim, who has told several different stories, a cop who has been fired for dishonest behavior, and a guy every feels they know. Is that really enough to convict a person of a crime? You know, it shouldn't be. If he assaulted her, that SUCKS, and he should be punished. But, I believe in due process and constitutional rights before I believe judging someone based on media coverage of an event none of us saw for ourselves. And, no, I really do not think for one second that this case will deter anyone from reporting a domestic violence situation. Because while it seems Charlie hasn't been punished and won't be, he has probably spent hundreds of thousands of dollars dealing with this mess (yes, I'm sure he can afford it), and no average joe can put up with that. Besides, would a day or two weeks in jail really change him or send any real message? No. And, sorry for rambling!

His accuser was 3 times the legal limit of drunk at 8 am on xmas morning. She's been a long time addict and drunk her 1st rehab at 15 and at least a dozen times at the rehab rodeo. A crazy cop with zero credibility and multiple restraining orders who broke the law herself and was fired. This isn't about a regular domestic violence assault at all. It's about a bunch of tragic people who didn't get hurt, injured or anything else on xmas morning - the only people who will suffer are the twins who will likely be raised by their addict mom until she od's and dies. Sad story but he's no more the villain than anyone else in this mess, the Aspen DA knows it too. They can't bring their criminal cop in to testify about even one thing now.

amen, zandra.

Not so. I have yet to meet a single child of domestic violence that have not been hurt by their parents fighting. Even if those kids are just babies, that sh*t is gonna stay with them, believe that. And I don't care how drunk or cracked out that woman was, is or is going to be. NO ONE deserves to have a knife held to their throat and threatened to be murdered. Period. And doing that in front of those babies only makes it 100x worse. If she really was so intoxicated that all those claims were just made up, then the cops that responded to the scene would have saw that and not taken that fool Charlie Sheen to jail. I am from the hood, I have witnessed MANY domestic violence calls. And like I said, if nothing happened than the cops would have left and taken ol' girl away to detox if anything. Obviously some sh*t went down for that fool to have been taken to jail. And Jax, that show has been boycotted in my house. F*** Charlie Sheen is all I gotta say.

These poor horrible things don't keep happening to CS. it's him. He attracts a certain type of mess that also has their bad behavior but that doesn't mean they should be assaulted or have a knife to their neck.

Who cares if he will learn his lesson in a few days in jail. Or Lindsay. Drunk driving kills people everyday. Jail isn't meant only to rehabilatate people. Otherwise there is no point in having laws. If there are just laws and only punishment for certain ones then people just keep doing the ones they get away with.

Sheen, star of "Two and a Half Men" on CBS, was sentenced to 30 days in a rehabilitation center, 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management. He has 30 days to report to the Promises Treatment Center in California.

I'm way too harsh, but honestly, this one needs to be killed (I'm dead, no pun intended, serious).. along with Michael Vick, Max Hardcore, DMX, and I can't think of anyone else right this moment, but yeah, kill them.
