Charlie Sheen's Sentencing Hits 'Snag,' Continued Until July 12

By PopEater Staff Posted Jun 7th 2010 08:20PM

'Two and a Half Men' star Charlie Sheen was ready to appear in Colorado court today and finalize a plea deal in the alleged Christmas day assault of his wife Brooke Mueller. Unfortunately for the star, sentencing was continued until July 12, TMZ reports.

Last December, Sheen was arrested and charged with felony menacing and two misdemeanors, 3rd degree assault and criminal mischief, after Mueller called 911 about a fight the pair had. Menacing carries a prison term of one to three years.

According to TMZ, District Attorney Arnold Mordkin told the court, "We need more time than is available for us to complete some of the finer points [of the plea deal]." It was widely believed that Sheen would enter a no contest/guilty plea to one of the two misdemeanor charges in exchange for the felony charge to be dropped. He was charged with felony menacing and 3rd degree assault and criminal mischief.

RadarOnline.com reports that both sides talked with Judge James Boyd for two hours in a room next to the courtroom before the hearing began. The participants were described as 'stern-faced' after leaving the meeting.

TMZ also reports that after the hearing, Mordkin said, "It hit a snag.' He did not give any further details.

Mueller was not present at the hearing.

Sheen and his legal team will return to Aspen for the next hearing on July 12 at 4pm Mountain Time.

Of course it hit a "snag". It's all about time, money and slick lawyers. These "snags" and shortened sentesnces don't happen to normal people. Who are they fooling? When will there ever be a judge who says, "I don't care who the F*** you are" to these celebrities and throws the book at them. Maybe then other stars will learn they will not just get off all them time with a slap on the wrist. They all think they are above the law, because they are treated that way.

There are good lawyers and bad lawyers so if you plan on breaking the law make sure you have enough money for a good one

The photo of him is marvellous. He looks like an Egyptian politician trying to stifle a belch.

By bigtinylittle

He should be given 3 years in solitary for that look alone!! WTF!!

By bstill

It sounds to me like he might be getting a stiffer sentence!

By Cayce

Charlie Sheen is a jerk.

If it wasn't for his father this lowlife bum would be so off the radar that the titanic would be looking down at him.

The judge has to agree to the plea agreement between the defendant and the prosecutor. It sounds like this "snag" may be the jugde NOT agreeing! I agree-when will a judge with balls stand up to these celebrities who do what they want, and then pay attorneys to get them out of the charges. Lindsay Lohan is another example. An everyday person would have been put away a long time ago, and would be serving time for what she has been doing.

I'd plead guilty too for two million buckeroos per episode. By the way, he looks like a goofball with that winter hat on. Maybe its cold in Colorado, though.

My guess is it hit a snag because Charlie is going to plead insanity...judging from that totally ridiculous hat he is sporting in that picture, I have no doubt he will get 1 day rehab in the nut house for the fashion challenged. Thanks for the laugh Charlie.

Charlie Sheen may be a lot of things. But, why is it always him getting the bad rap.
His wife Brooke is no angel. She was drunk as a skunk when she made those charges and then recanted them. Where is she in this act? She is a pig, drunk, crack & cocaine addict. Has twin boys under a year old and was drunk the next morning after the so-called incident. She also is an unfit mother. Drinking and drugging while in her fifth month of pregnancy and going to rehab without giving a thought to her unborn babies.
Charlie if you want to clean up your act "stop getting married"
to these low lives and take care of your children. They are the most important people in this whole thing. Otherwise, you are going to have two more boys in Hollyweird doing drugs, selling drugs and in and out of prison. I really do not think this is what you want for your children. The poor children of these so-called celebrities always pay the highest price.
I love your show and I like you very much also.

I dont believe in ever hitting a women how ever I do know that some women have a very good ability to push all the buttons that will drive even the most sensitive man to crack them in the mouth,
I also find it strange that you hardly ever hear of charges on women that strike men,,,lol
My feelings from my hood was if you act like a man then expect to be treated like one,ha

By Butch

LMAO, there waiting to get the right judge so they can pay him off. It's been done many times before. There are certain judges that they don't want to go before, so they delay it so the venue gets changed and hopefully the judge.

By Zero

Stop acting man, it's no movie set! You cannot do what you do in movies for real!

By dlee

Hit a Snag?? The judge must not be happy with this deal at all or it would have gone forward. I'm sure that judge in his own mind is considering all of Sheens's past indescretions and wasn't happy with the felony charge being dropped from the deal. You would have thought after spending months in jail on drug charges before the idiot wouldn't want to go back to jail, guess not!! Must not have learned anything from the last time.....

By Beth

Did any of you speculating on this snag being Charlie and his lawyer's fault read the story? It was the DA that asked for an extension of time, to finish reviewing things.

By Diana

What ever judge charlie ends up in front of, I hope the judge throws the book at him. Charlie has ben treated like a little lady for too long. It would be sweet to see him do some time for a change.
This is simply a way of life for charlie, if this had been anyone of us, we would have already been under the jail. I am sick of having two sets of laws in America. Its past time the rich and famous, started having to answer for their self righteous ways, as anyone of us working people would have to do.
And, if charlie thinks this 'hat' looks good on him, someones been lying to the boy. Hes age is starting to show up too.

By My footie pajamas are bigfeetpjs

Definitely, hit a snag!
