"Ello guv'nuh!"

Beating up a bar owner and then attempting to cover up the crime with a bribe. Yeah, don't do that. Amy Winehouse's husband Blake Fielder-Civil was sentenced to 27 months in jail today for his part in an attack last year that left London bar owner James King with metal plates in his face. Since he's already been in jail since November 2007, Fielder-Civil could be released in little as five months. MTV UK says:

Judge David Radford said that Fielder-Civil admitted to being high on cocaine and alcohol when he and his friend Michael Brown attacked pub manager James King outside the Macbeth pub in a barroom fight in June 2007. They then offered King $400,000 to keep quiet about it.

During sentencing at Snaresbrook Crown Court, Judge Radford admonished Fielder-Civil, saying, "In joining in that attack by kicking out at Mr. King after he had already been both punched and kicked by Mr. Brown, you behaved in a gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful way," according to an AFP report on the sentencing. "It will be of little comfort to Mr. King that you did so because of your inebriation." (Source)

I wonder how Amy's gonna survive another five months without her husband. Oh yeah, that's right: crack.
