Singer’s spouse gets 27 months

Amy Winehouse’s husband was sentenced in London Monday to 27 months in jail for assault and obstructing justice.

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.

Judge David Radford told Fielder-Civil he had behaved in a “gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful” way. His pop star wife was not in court.

Winehouse and Fielder-Civil, 26, married in Miami in May 2007. He was arrested in November and has been in jail ever since. He could be freed in December, once he has completed half his sentence.
