Amy guilty of assault

AMY WINEHOUSE pleaded guilty yesterday to drunkenly assaulting a theatre manager at a family Christmas show and was ordered to pay her victim £185 (€215) in compensation.

The judge also gave the soul diva a conditional discharge, meaning she will avoid further punishment if she stays out of trouble for two years.

“(That) may be harder than a fine, because you have now got to stay on the straight and narrow for the next two years,” District Judge Peter Crabtree told Winehouse, whose scrapes with the law have often overshadowed her Grammy-winning music.
