Gil Scott-Heron jailed for two years

Gil Scott Heron has been sentenced to a two year prison term for breaking the conditions of a plea deal over previous drugs charges. The musician/poet had been ordered to attend drug rehab after being tried on drugs charges in 2001. Scott-Heron, 56, claimed he had left rehab because they had stopped giving him his HIV medication, but the prosecution say that his reasons for leaving were not so valid, and claim that on one occasion he left to make an appearance with Alicia Keys.
