AceShowbiz - The meltdown continues in Amy Winehouse's life. In the wake of the release of her shameful video which shows her being surrounded by evidence of drugs and singing racist chants, new report surfaces by the hour that her incarcerated husband Blake Fielder-Civil pleads guilty to grievous bodily harm (GBH) and conspiring to pervert the course of justice, stemmed from a pub brawl back in 2006.
Blake and three other co-defendants related to the case initially pleaded guilty last week, but Justice David Radford barred the release of the news taking into account that the pub manager whom they targeted, James King, is facing a separate trial. The restriction, nevertheless, was lifted Monday, June 9, an official at Snaresbrook Crown Court, east London, said.
Blake, who's a one-time music video assistant, has been locked up since November last year. Due to his guilty plea he thus faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison for the assault charge and a maximum life sentence for the perversion of justice count. Experts, nevertheless, say it is not likely to be imposed on the case.
Amy herself has yet to comment on her husband's guilty plea, but it is not a secret that she has been a vocal supporter of her husband for months, often paid a visit to him in jail. She once was interviewed by British authorities in relation to the conspiracy charge, but police announced in February that they would not charge her in the case.
Blake and the three co-defendants will be sentenced on a date to be set.
