Meanwhile, in another Sheen case, a different judge allowed a pool camera to record the actor’s dispute with Warner Bros. TV and “Two and a Half Men” creator Chuck Lorre.
Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Allan J. Goodman, said he would not rule Tuesday on whether Sheen’s $100 million suit against Warner Bros. and Lorre would go to trial or be resolved in arbitration. Sheen is seeking a public trial.
Goodman also said the issues discussed in his courtroom Tuesday would be “technical” and “boring” — but he granted a motion from news media to allow cameras in the courtroom. He further joked that it would be possible to re-forest the San Gabriel Mountains with all the paperwork in the case.
