Willie Nelson will not sing to get out of court, says judge

James Barnes — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 10:13:06 +0000

Earlier reports that country music legend Willie Nelson would be allowed to sing his way out of a drug charge were a runaway joke, according to a Texas judge.

After being arrested for possession of marijuana it had been reported that Nelson would be let off with a small fine if he sang ‘Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain’ in the courtroom, at the request of Hudspeth County prosecutor Kit Brambelett.

Judge Becky Dean-Weaver has now cleared up the story, saying that Bramblett was joking and the punchline got out of hand. Nelson is now required to pay about $378 (£236) in fines and fees.

The 77-year-old singer was arrested on November 26th last year, but Texas County Attorney Kit Bramblett told said that he could avoid a prison sentence if he sang ‘Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain’.

“I’m gonna let him plead, pay a small fine and he’s gotta sing ‘Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain’ with his guitar right there in the courtroom,” Mr Bramblett told CNN.

“You can bet your *** I’m not going to be mean to Willie Nelson.”
