No Need to Bail Willie out of Jail

Willie Nelson today pled guilty to misdemeanor marijuana possession. What this means is that he will not have to face jail time for the offense. Instead he will pay a fine of $1024 to a Louisiana court and have six months’ probation. Are we at all surprised? I know I’m not. This is Willie Nelson we’re talking about. Marijuana possession is a requirement of his career path, and they should pre-print the tickets citing him for it.
During his short time in Louisiana, fans gathered outside the courthouse for autographs. Nelson was a gentleman as always and signed pieces of paper and such, shaking hands with the small crowd. I guess toking doesn’t affect his manners.
