Nelson must sing for court

A TEXAS prosecutor says Willie Nelson can resolve marijuana possession charges by agreeing to plead guilty, pay a fine — and sing Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain for the court.

County attorney Kit Bramblett said he recommended the penalties to Hudspeth County’s judge Becky Dean-Walker. Mr Bramblett said the judge specifically demanded Nelson appear in court instead of pleading by mail, which is a common procedure in such cases.

Mr Bramblett has said the judge “wants to meet Willie”.
