Amy Winehouse 'Pulled Out Of Plot Meeting With Husband'

Amy Winehouse missed a meeting with the men involved in a financial deal connected to her husband's assault trial to attend an awards ceremony, a court has heard.

Unknown to Winehouse, her husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, and two other middle-men, the meeting would have been filmed by the Daily Mirror.

Fielder-Civil and another man, Michael Brown, have already pleaded guilty to assaulting a pub landlord in June 2006 and then attempting to cover the incident up.

Daily Mirror journalist Stephen Moyes told the jury at the trial in East London today that, after hours of waiting, he was “told that Amy and Blake were going to Munich for an MTV awards show."

Mr Moyes was investigating claims by the two middle-men, Anthony Kelly and James Kennedy, that Mr King was offered money to skip a court appearance and flee the country.

This would have meant that both Fielder-Civil and Brown would have been found not guilty of assault.

Mr King has pleaded not guilty to attempting perverting the course of justice.

Winehouse was cleared of any involvement in the case by police earlier this year.

Fielder-Civil faces a maximum of five years in jail over the assault charge.
