Attorney: Brooke Sheen wants case dismissed

Charlie Sheen and his wife were reunited Monday after a judge modified a restraining order and allowed them them to work out their differences following a Christmas Day domestic violence dispute in which the actor allegedly pinned his spouse on a bed with a knife to her throat.

The couple hugged in court, and Brooke Mueller Sheen's attorney, Yale Galanter, said they hugged again and kissed in the basement of the 19th century Pitkin County Courthouse after the brief hearing before leaving in separate vehicles. They planned to fly out of 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.

"Brooke would like this case to be over and charges dismissed so they can get on with their lives."

Charlie Sheen is accused of holding a knife to his wife's throat and threatening to kill her on Dec. 25 at his Aspen home. Prosecutors charged TV's "Two and a Half Men" star with felony menacing and misdemeanor charges of third-degree assault and criminal mischief. The most serious charge carries a maximum three-year prison term. Sheen did not enter a plea Monday and is due back in court March 15.
