Charlie Sheen is in deep shit

The shit hit the fan for Charlie Sheen late yesterday. For that little Christmas Day incident where he threatened to kill his wife Brooke Mueller, he was charged with felony menacing, third-degree assault and criminal mischief. He faces up to three years in prison. From the Los Angeles Times:

Sheen faces up to three years imprisonment if convicted on the felony menacing charge. He is scheduled to return to court March 15. If a disposition isn't worked out, Cummins said, Sheen would enter a not guilty plea. Mueller was also looking for a peaceful resolution, her lawyer said.

"Her druthers would be for the charges to be dropped and to go away," Galanter said.

Sheen was arrested Dec. 25 in Aspen after Mueller called police, saying she feared for her life. Sheen and Mueller had been arguing early that morning when she said she wanted a divorce, according to an affidavit. Mueller, 32, told police that Sheen, 44, had pinned her to the bed, gripped her neck with one hand and held a knife to her throat as he straddled her.

Read that last sentence again. Pretty serious stuff. Which is going to make it all the more ridiculous when Charlie serves no time for this whatsoever. If I pulled this shit on my girlfriend, I'd serve so much time in prison that my asshole would look like a mason jar by the time I got out. Charlie might get a year's probation, but only if he calls the judge a "fucking cocksucker" in open court.
