Charlie Sheen’s domestic violence plea deal has hit stalemate as the two opposing sides are no nearer reaching a conclusion ahead of his July 12 court appearance, RadarOnline.com can reveal.
The Aspen District Attorney’s Office had offered the actor a one year deferred sentence to felony menacing that would have meant he served no jail time in connection with his alleged Christmas Day assault of estranged wife Brooke Mueller.

Charlie Sheen’s domestic abuse case will be heard on June 18 after Judge James Boyd ordered a new date for a motions hearing, during a status conference today in Aspen, Colorado, RadarOnline.com has learned.
The troubled actor’s lawyer Richard Cummins will try to persuade the judge during that hearing that Sheen made a series of inadmissible statements to local police officer Rick Magnuson, because he was not read his Miranda rights while being questioned at the home he and Brooke Mueller rented.
New Lawyer Appears In Sheen Court Case
Patrol Officer’s Valerie McFarlane and Magnuson were the arresting officers who were called to the rented home on Christmas Day after Mueller made an emotional 911 call claiming that the actor had held a knife to her throat and threatened to kill her.
He will also request personnel files on the two officers at the next court date.

Celebrity lawyer Hal Haddon was at today’s hearing but remained tight-lipped when asked if he was now part of ‘Team Sheen’.
Sheen’s current lawyer Richard Cummins said: “Mr Haddon is not working for the defense right now.”

Despite this denial it is now widely expected that Haddon will join the effort to keep the star out of jail - neither Sheen or Brooke Mueller were present inside the courtroom for the brief hearing.
The Two And A Half Men star has been charged with felony menacing and two misdemeanors: 3rd degree assault and criminal mischief, in connection with his alleged assault on Mueller.

The actor has pled not guilty to all three charges. If convicted on all three counts, he could face between two and six years in jail.
It is fully expected the Two And A Half Men star’s legal team will claim at trial that no crime happened. Sheen’s lawyers are also gearing up to attack the credibility of local Patrol Officer Valerie McFarlane who is no longer employed by the Colorado Police Department.

The relationship between Sheen and Mueller has become extremely strained in recent weeks after it was revealed that the hellraiser actor had become involved with professional escort Angelina Tracy.

Sources tell RadarOnline.com that Mordkin is following the lead of Judicial District Attorney Martin Beeson who has “declared war on sexual crimes in his three-county district” in Colorado.
Even though Sheen is one of Hollywood’s biggest names, the source said Mordkin is concerned that “one of these days someone’s going to get killed” and he’s determined to “send a message that we as a community do not tolerate this type of behavior”.

Lawyer: Brooke Mueller Had 'Marital Moment' With Charlie Sheen
Posted on Dec 30, 2009 @ 05:33PM - 1 comment
Brooke Mueller’s celebrity lawyer Yale Galanter described his client’s alleged altercation with her husband Charlie Sheen as a ‘marital moment’ on Larry King Live Wednesday.
Talking live from Colorado, the high-powered lawyer, who previously represented O.J. Simpson, did his best to play down the incident that saw Sheen jailed after he allegedly held a knife to his wife’s throat.
EXCLUSIVE: Sheen’s Wife Told Cops She Did Cocaine And Took Pills
Galanter claims that he is hopeful that there will be a ‘non-litigation’ resolution to the incident, and that he’s working with Sheen’s legal team to meet this goal.
While not condoning any form of domestic violence the lawyer told King that Mueller and Sheen had professed their ‘love for one another’ and wanted to work-out their differences away from the public and media spotlight.
AUDIO: Brooke Mueller’s 911 Call
He described Mueller as a ‘wonderful devoted mother’ whom he had never seen drinking and revealed that the pair had had no contact since the incident in accordance with the Judge James Boyd’s orders.
But, despite his comments, it is clear that the troubled pair have a lot of work to do to resolve their differences and repair their damaged marriage.
POLICE DOCUMENT: Brooke Mueller’s Arrest History
Earlier, RadarOnline.com revealed how Mueller told Aspen cops that Sheen had attacked her previously and our website uncovered the details.
A source familiar with the situation told RadarOnline.com: "She banged her head on the floor and even ended up going to see a doctor because of it. She didn't tell the doctor that Charlie pushed her because she didn't want it reported."

That goes toward explaining why Mueller is heard on the Christmas day 911 audio saying FOUR times, "I gotta file this report."
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, Team Sheen has offered to add $1 million to her prenuptial agreement and told her if Sheen goes to prison over this incident there will be no money for Mueller.

Galanter and Sheen’s lawyer Richard Cummins are both due back in court in Colorado on Monday – Sheen and Mueller are not expected to attend the hearing.
