“You can bet your ass, I’m not going to be mean to Willie Nelson.”
Hudspeth County (TX) District Attorney Kit Bramblett explains the plea deal he has offered to the country legend for his misdemeanor marijuana charge. “I’m going to let him pay a small fine and recommend community service,” said Bramblett, who also suggested that Nelson should sing “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain,” a favorite song of the judge Nelson will be appearing before, in the courtroom.
