Willie Nelson plea rejected in marijuana possession case (Free Willie!)

Willie Nelson plea rejected in marijuana possession case (Free Willie!): "EL PASO - A judge has rejected a plea deal that would have resolved Willie Nelson's marijuana possession case in West Texas with a fine, saying the country singer shouldn't get what she considers special treatment.

Nelson was arrested in November after a Border Patrol agent said 6 ounces of marijuana were found on Nelson's tour bus.

Judge Becky Dean-Walker told The Associated Press on Wednesday that she rejected prosecutor Kit Bramblett's suggestion that Nelson resolve the case by pleading guilty and paying a $500 fine for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Dean-Walker claims the prosecutor 'doesn't do that for anybody else.'

The judge says Nelson should be charged with the misdemeanor marijuana possession, which carries up to a year in jail."
