Charlie Sheen said he was feeling good, moments after he left the court room in Colorado, where Pitkin County District Judge James C. Boyd sentenced him to sentenced to 30 days of drug and alcohol rehabilitation, in a rehab center in Malibu, California, instead of jail time. Charlie plead guilty as charge to assaulting his wife on Christmas Day, last year, in Aspen. He also got 30 days of probation and 36 hours of anger management. He had a good lawyer who worked out a good plea deal with the prosecutors for him. The Associated Press reports, Charlie has up to 30 days to report to rehab in Malibu. And, reports the website TMZ, Charlie will receive credit for time already served in rehab. So once Charlie checks in, he can check out almost immediately.
Charlie is a popular guy. His hit show "Two and a Half Men" on CBS is still going strong in the ratings. The offers to do commercials are as strong as ever. His wife wants to reconcile. Charlie seems to be a likeable guy.
Lady Justice gave Charlie a big break. It isn't unusual for a likeable guy with a good lawyer and a good job to receive breaks from Lady Justice. The repeat offenders are the ones who have the hardest time with Lady Justice.
I like Charlie Sheen. He is a funny comedy star. He is a good actor. He has a funny show, and so I am pleased that his recent legal problems have been resolved.
