Brooke Mueller Wants Charlie’s Charges Dropped

Posted Tuesday February 9, 2010 3:20 PM GMT

Looking to work things out, Charlie Sheen and his wife have reunited after a judge changed the restraining in order so they could work out their problems after an incident on Christmas Day involving domestic violence, where the actor allegedly pinned Brooke Mueller Sheen on a bed with a knife to her throat.

The couple was spotted hugging in court and Brooke’s attorney, Yala Galanter, said they hugged again in the basement after the hearing.

They plan to go to Aspen together and Galanter said he has asked prosecutors to drop the case. "I can tell you, Brooke very badly wanted to have contact with Charlie," Galanter said. "There are many children's issues that she wanted to communicate with him about... They have two gorgeous beautiful babies together.”

The prosecutors charged the “Two and a Half Men” actor with felony menacing and misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief.

He did not enter a plea and will return March 15. "Brooke would like this case to be over and charges dismissed so they can get on with their lives," added Galanter.

Judge James B. Boyd had standard provisions of the protection order that prohibit Charlie Sheen from harrasment or retaliation against his wife. Sheen is also prohibited from possessing weapons or using alcohol or drugs, unless they're prescription. Through the attorney, Sheen and his wife told how they wanted to reconcile. "I don't know how people survive something like this," Galanter said, adding that time will tell whether the marriage survives.
