The pub owner is cleared of charges
The pub owner accused of taking a bribe to drop assault charges against Amy Winehouse's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, has been acquitted.
James King was found not guilty by a British court today (June 25) and cleared of trying to pervert the course of justice.
King allegedly accepted a $400,000 bribe from Winehouse's husband and another man in exchange for dropping assault charges against them. King claimed he was an intimidated into doing so, reports the Associated Press.
