Half a man stews in LA LA LAND!
Authorities in Aspen announced yesterday that a decision won't be made until February in respect to the formal filing of charges against actor Charlie Sheen for assault, menacing, and criminal mischief.
Understandably, the Hollywood bad boy - who was thrust into the spotlight on Christmas day for allegedly threatening his wife - returned home to LA LA LAND to sweat it out.
In a 911 tape released to the media Monday, a distraught woman (later identified as Brooke Sheen, Charlie's wife) expressed a concern to Law Enforcement Officers that she was "going to die".
Appparently, Sheen flew into a rage after his wife asked for a divorce.
At one juncture, it was allegeed that Sheen held a knife to her throat, and threatened that if she left him he would kill her.
The star of the hit TV Show - Two and a Half Men - denied the accusations to officers assigned to head up the investigation.
Sheen was charged with a misdemeanor battery count for knocking down a former girlfriend and causing bodily injury in the past which resulted in probation, a suspended sentence, and community service.
Consequently, legal experts have opined that if the recent incident results in formal charges being filed, there may not be too much wiggle you for Sheen next time out.
Sheen's prior conviction may not bode well for the TV actor if a new case is filed and set for trial.
A first offense may have been a foolish misadventure gone awry, but a second offense - some say - may hammer home to a Judge and Jury that the individual is prone to engage in domestic violence - and consequently - loved ones may be at risk if there isn't any meaningful intervention.
A Judge may decide that jail time is a necessary punishment to deter the violent conduct in the future, require anger management classes, or impose both with the specific aim of rectifying the emotional problems of the individual.
As I noted in a previous post earlier this week, Mr. Sheen's representative urged everyone not to jump to conclusions.
"Do not be misled by appearance," he cautioned.
Bottom line, if the case goes forward, Sheen will have his day in court.
Will the King have any clothes?
