Even more pop court nonsense, and former Phish frontman Trey Anastasio has had his sentence in relation to previously reported drugs charges reduced. As previously reported, Anastasio pleaded guilty to a felony charge of possessing painkillers without prescription after they were discovered in his possession when he was stopped by traffic police in December 2006. As part of the plea deal he had to enter into drug rehab programme, which he has now successfully completed, so a judge said yesterday that he would reduce the charge to a misdemeanour, and now the singer - who would have faced three years in prison if he failed to attend the programme - will face three years probation instead. He spent two days in jail in January after missing one drug counselling session.
