Willie Nelson Pot Case -- Let Him Sing for His Freedom
by TMZ Staff
Willie Nelson’s pot possession case could end on a high note -- because the singer may get off with little more than a small fine ... if he agrees to SING IN COURT.
Nelson was charged with misdemeanor marijuana possession back in November ... after U.S. Border Patrol in Texas found weed on his tour bus -- but the prosecutor in the case is willing to let Willie off with a $100 fine ... if he sings "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain” INSIDE the courtroom.
According to the prosecutor, the song would count as his community service -- but Willie's punishment ultimately rests in the judge's hands.
No word if Nelson will accept the offer ... but it's a good deal -- because if he gets convicted he faces a maximum of 180 days in jail and a $2,000 fine.
If anyone deserves leniency it’s definitely Willie Nelson but I’m a little surprised that he’s getting off this light. I know the guy must have some money lying around from touring and from those terrible ‘Dukes of Hazard’ movies. How about making Uncle Jessie pony up a little of that hip salad and put it to use in this cash strapped state? And instead of singing in court I think we’re all owed a free concert for this one. I think everyone in Texas has paid to see Willie enough that we’re owed a freebie by now.
Also, if Snoop would have known performing in court was an option he would have beat that murder wrap a lot sooner.
