Bruno Mars gets probation in Vegas cocaine case

Bruno Mars gets probation in Vegas cocaine case - Yahoo! News: "Bruno Mars had two firsts this week. One was winning a Grammy. The other came Wednesday when the 25-year-old singer-songwriter pleaded guilty to cocaine possession.
Unlike the award for his hit, 'Just The Way You Are,' his brush with the law in Las Vegas may not last forever.
Mars will avoid prison and will have no conviction on his record if he stays out of trouble for a year and meets other conditions of his plea deal.
Clark County District Judge Jessie Walsh made sure Mars understood that he could face up to four years in state prison if he violates the terms of the agreement.
'You understand the penalty range?' she asked.
'Four years,' Mars replied, standing in a dark suit with his hands at his sides.
The judge gave Mars, whose real name is Peter Gene Hernandez, probation, a $2,000 fine, 200 hours of community service at a nonprofit organization and eight hours with a drug counselor in Los Angeles."
