Willie Nelson Gets Out of Jail In Exchange For A Song

[Raw Story] Texas: Willie Nelson was facing up to a year in jail after a police search found 6.5 ounces of marijuana in Nelson's trailer.

In Texas, that kind of weight can put a person away for a long time, depending upon where the offense occurs. One unlucky soul recently found that out the hard way, pulling down a 35-year sentence in Tyler, Texas for having just over four ounces in his vehicle, which was parked in a school zone.

Thanks to an enthusiastic fan named C.R. "Kit" Bramblett who also happens to be the Hudspeth County Attorney in Texas admitted to "helping Willie out a bit". Nelson's charges were reduced to a misdemeanor, a $378 fine, and a private performance of Willie's classic song, "Blue Eyes Crying in the Moonlight.

The "law" is a bad joke.
