Willie Nelson faces jail after Texas plea bargain falls through

• Rawstory

A west Texas judge said this week that she was rejecting a plea deal for legendary country-western musician Willie Nelson, who now faces up to a year in prison for marijuana possession.

The original deal, proposed by 78-year-old Hudspeth County prosecutor C.R. "Kit" Bramblett, would have reduced Nelson's crime to a Class B misdemeanor, allowing him to plead guilty and pay a fine  -- so long as he stopped by the courthouse to play a song.
