ASPEN, Colo. (AP) -- An attorney says a court hearing where actor Charlie Sheen was expected to plead guilty to charges stemming from a Christmas Day dispute with his wife will be postponed.
Yale Galanter, one of Sheen's attorneys, said Friday the hearing is tentatively scheduled for Aug. 2, but court officials say no new
date has been set.
Galanter says the defense needs more time to work out details of a agreement that calls for Sheen to plead guilty to misdemeanor assault in exchange for prosecutors dropping more serious charges.
Attorneys have said the agreement calls for Sheen to serve 30 days in jail.
Sheen, star of "Two and a Half Men" on CBS, is charged with felony menacing, criminal mischief and assault against his wife, Brooke Mueller Sheen.
