Amy Winehouse’s Husband Pleads Guilty
Amy Winehouse's jailed husband Blake Fielder-Civil has pleaded guilty to assault charges and might face 3 years in prison. Ouch!
Fielder-Civil, 26, has been in jail awaiting trial since November 2007. During pretrial arguments last week - which could not be reported because of British media restrictions - he changed his plea from not guilty to guilty, admitting that on June 20, 2006, he assaulted James King, the landlord of Macbeth's pub in London.
He also pleaded guilty to a charge that he conspired to pervert the course of justice by offering King money to withdraw his allegations and leave the country.
Fielder-Civil will be sentenced in about a month, when the trial of his co-defendants is expected to finish. Three years in prison is a typical sentence for grievous bodily harm, according to U.K. sentencing guidelines. He also could receive a fine and/or more time in jail for the perverting the course of justice charge.
They must have had him stone cold for him to change his plea like that. Now he's going to be going away for quite some time leaving Amy to continue on the party train without him. I guess he might outlive her after all. Interesting.
