Amy Winehouse's ex-hubby faces jail sentence

By Raymond Ronamai

Amy Winehouse's ex-husband Blake Fielder-Civil will end up behind the bars after pleading guilty to burglary and gun possession charges. Blake and co-accused Christopher Sylvester face prison sentence after admitting to burglary charges. They were arrested in February and appeared before the court in March and on June 1.

“It seems to me that a custodial sentence is absolutely necessary. I see no reason why he shouldn't start it today. You both pleaded guilty. People who go out and commit burglary in a vehicle with a firearm face a substantial custodial sentence. Mr Fielder-Civil, as far as I can see, it is entirely inevitable that you will serve a substantial custodial sentence. The risk of you committing further offences is too great to allow you bail," Contactmusic quoted Judge Kerry MACgill as saying.

Winehouse, who got divorced from wed Fielder-Civil in 2009, is in trouble too. She recently checked into a rehabilitation centre.
