Amy devastated by Blake's 27-month sentence

Amy Winehouse probably woke up this morning feeling optimistic for the first time in a long time, but her hopes that hubby Blake Fielder-Civil would be released from jail to help her kick her drugs habit were dashed by the courts. 

A judge today sentence Blake to 27 months in prison for beating up pub landlord James King and then bribing him to drop the charges. Judge David Radford said that Blake had behaved in a “gratutitous, cowardly and disgraceful” way, and his sentence means Mr Wino could face another 18 months behind bars (having already served nine months on remand). The trustworthy British justice system could see Blake out in just four and a half months though, if the powers-that-be think he's behaved himself. Grrrrr
