Charlie's lawyer Yale Galanter was as pleased as him, stating as quoted by People "Charlie got a great sentence, and I am privileged to have been able to do this for him."
As for Charlie and Brooke's future, Galanter told the site, "I am not a fortune teller so I can't be sure what will happen between them. But Charlie goes back to work tomorrow.
