New York Post: Sheen games system
TV-star Charlie Sheen cut a deal with prosecutors in Aspen, avoiding jail time, after holding a knife to wife Brooke Mueller’s throat last Christmas in a domestic violence case. Because of that, Sheen was sentenced to 30 days in the tony Promises Treatment Center in LA but could avoid doing so being he already served 93 days at Promises this year.
Family lawyer, Sue Moss, speaks on seeing many battered wives, like Mueller, in this case. “Whenever they make a determination of what a sentence should be, the first thing they look at it past history — and not only does Sheen have a past history with [his wife], but a past history with his former wife and other allegations from other women,” says Moss. Disappointed in the repercussions, Moss expresses that “this is what we’re teaching the public — that bad behavior reaps benefits.”
