Celebrity drug cases with a twist
First, the Las Vegas chief deputy district attorney who prosecuted Paris Hilton for cocaine possession has been arrested and accused of buying crack.
Even better - Willie Nelson cuts a deal to plead to a fine after being charged with possession of over 6 ounces of weed, if he agrees to come to the Hudspeth County courthouse and sing the prosecutor's favorite song, “Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain." The prosecutor says, “You bet your ass I ain’t gonna be mean to Willie Nelson.”
“Willie Nelson is 77 years old, and I’m 78,” Bramblett said. “He’s been my favorite artist all my life. We all know he smokes a little pot.”
I love this story. Of course, in S.C. 6 ounces would be charged as possession with intent to distribute - barring extraordinary circumstances it will net at best a plea offer of a suspended sentence with years of probation and in some cases a plea offer of substantial prison time.
