The husband of singer Amy Winehouse has admitted assaulting a barman and attempting to cover it up.
Blake Fielder-Civil, 26, is being tried in London on charges of attacking pub landlord James King, and then conspiring together to have King to withdraw as a witness at the trial.
Fielder-Civil and three co-defendants pleaded guilty last week but a court order delayed reporting the pleas because King is scheduled to face a separate trial. Winehouse was at London�s Snaresbrook Crown Court last week for the opening arguments in her husband�s trial. Fielder-Civil faces a maximum of five years in prison for the assault charge. Perverting the course of justice carries a maximum sentence of life, though that is unlikely to be imposed in this case.
