That’s caused the court advocate of Colorado’s battered women and sexual assault group Response to make a public stand about the Sheen case and its importance, ramping up the level of controversy that spread from Aspen to Los Angeles and beyond.
Response’s Jill Gruenberg wrote a letter that appears in Tuesday's Aspen Times newspaper defending the need to prosecute Sheen and other similar domestic abuse cases.

I don't think it's a waste of time or money prosecuting a guy that beat & terrorized his wife in a drunken, drug fueled rage.
