News » Judge Wants Free Concert From Willie Nelson





A judge and prosecutor in El Paso, Texas seem to think that because they have a marijuana possession charge against Willie Nelson, they deserve special treatment and he should be required to give it to them. The West Texas prosecutor in charge of the case says that if Willie will show up to court, plead guilty, pay a fine, and sing “Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain” for the judge, she will resolve the charges in his favor.

The prosecutor and judge plan to disallow the normal resolution by mail procedure used for these misdemeanor cases and demand that Nelson appear in court. Why?

“She wants to meet Willie,” says the prosecutor referring to Hudspeth County Judge Becky Dean-Walker.

I have an idea. Why doesn’t Judge Walker get in line and buy a damn concert ticket like everyone else? Does she think she’s subject to special privilege just because she’s a judge?

Time for someone to be sent packin. Maybe two someones, since this prosecutor seems willing to go along with this farce they’re calling justice.
