LONDON (AP) -July 21, 2008
Blake Fielder-Civil has admitted beating up pub manager James
King in a barroom fight in 2006 and then offering him $400,000 to
keep quiet about it.
Passing sentence at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Judge David Radford
told Fielder-Civil he had behaved in a "gratuitous, cowardly and
disgraceful" way. Winehouse wasn't in court.
The 24-year-old singer and Fielder-Civil, 26, married in Miami
in May 2007. He was arrested in November and has been in jail ever
since.
Winehouse has become an international star since she released
the Grammy-winning album, "Back to Black," in 2006. But her music
has been overshadowed by reports of drug use, her run-ins with the
law and her tempestuous relationship with Fielder-Civil.
