Amy Winehouse’s Hubby: Headed to the Big House?
Amy Winehouse’s Hubby: Headed to the Big House?
After more than seven months in lockup and multiple visits from his “I’m No Good” wife, Amy Winehouse, Blake Fielder-Civil has copped a plea with prosecutors in regards to the 2006 pub brawl that resulted in the bodily harm of a local bartender.
Fielder-Civil, who has been locked up since November, pleaded guilty to the charges earlier this week. He now faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for an assault charge, and a maximum life sentence for a witness tampering charge.
Meanwhile, Fielder-Civil’s co-defendants in the case also pleaded guilty to charges related to the crime. The entire group will be sentenced at a later date.
As previously reported by , Winehouse, appeared in court last week to support her husband, but has yet to comment on the guilty plea. The troubled pop-star was interviewed by British police in relation to the conspiracy charge, but it was announced in February that they would not charge her in the case.
The 24-year old “Rehab” singer and Fielder-Civil married in Miami in May 2007. Along with his stint in jail, their first year of marriage has also seen her head to rehab to battle her much-publicized drug addiction.

Amy Winehouse Heads to Court
It seems like forever since her husband Blake Fielder-Civil went to jail (just before this past Christmas), and like a good wife, Amy Winehouse was spotted on her way to attend his trial.
Earlier today, the troubled singer was seen leaving her Camden, London home to attend her hubby’s trial at Snaresbrook Crown Court. Fielder-Civil is being tried for beating up a man, and then attempting to bribe a witness, thus conspiring to pervert the course of justice.
The “Rehab” singer actually looked respectable, sporting a bluish-grey jumpsuit-esque belted dress with a pair of peep-toe heels.
Over the weekend, she showed up over an hour late to her concert in Lisbon, Portugal, leaving 90,000 fans waiting impatiently. And when she finally arrived, she was very apologetic. “Hey Lisbon, I’m sorry I’m late,” she said from the stage.
From her bandaged wrist, to the cuts on her left arm, Winehouse was visably disheveled. But hey, at least she showed up for the gig!

Matt Roloff found not guilty of DUI
Matt Roloff, patriarch to the Roloff family of the very popular TLC reality show Little People, Big World, was found not guilty of Driving Under the Influence by a Washington County, Oregon judge. He made this decision even though it was a jury trial. You see, a few of the jury members got into a bit of trouble. But first, more about Matt.
Back on June 19th of last year the 46-year-old Roloff was pulled over after a sheriff’s deputy saw his van leaving a bar and weaving over lane lines. During testimony last week Roloff mentioned that he was only dropping off a friend at the bar and never left his car. He also testified that he was tired from a cross-country RV trip he took with his family and that the pedal extensions on the van he was driving (it was his wife Amy’s van) were different than what he was used to.
The verdict was given by Circuit Judge Donald R. Letourneau rather than the jurors because a few members did not heed instructions to not look up any information about the case. Two of the jurors looked up definitions of “implied consent” and “beyond a reasonable doubt” on the Internet. In addition, one of those two looked up information about the eye test that deputies say Roloff failed twice the night he was pulled over. After chastising the jury about disobeying the law, Judge Letourneau dismissed the panel and gave the verdict on his own.
Despite Roloff’s acquittal, he still isn’t scott free. Under Oregon’s “implied consent” law, Matt’s driver’s license was suspended for three years because he refused to take a breath test after his June arrest and had gone through a previous drunken-driving diversion program within the past five years. At this point in time, he cannot get his license back any sooner.
On the Roloff Farms website, Matt thanked his fans for their support and encouragement over the last few months and that his top priority is to spend time with his family. He also says that in the coming months he’ll be able to share more about what happened during the arrest as well as everything leading up to the trial.
