Amy Winehouse Husband Blake Fielder-Civil Found Guilty

The husband of Amy Winehouse, Blake Fielder-Civil, pleaded guilty to charges of assault and attempting to pervert the course of justice. Although Blake entered the plea last week, British media restrictions prevented the news that Blake changed his not guilty plea to guilty could not be reported until today.

Blake assaulted James King, the landlord of Macbeth’s pub in London, on June 20, 2006. Blake then offered King a lot of money to withdraw his criminal complaint, and leave the country.

Despite what the maximum penalties are for the two crimes, it appears Blake has made a plea deal that could have him leaving jail next month with time served, when a judge hands down his sentence.
