Blake Fielder-Civil has been given a 27 month jail sentence for assaulting a pub landlord and then attempting to pervert the course of justice after the incident occurred. The sentence was handed down as Fielder- Civil appeared before Judge Radford at London’s Snaresbrook Crown Court who told him that he had acted in a “gratuitous, cowardly and disgraceful way.”
Fielder-Civil, of Camden, North London admitted grievous bodily harm and perverting the course of justice for assaulting James King, a pub landlord, and attempting to bribe him £200,000 not to testify last month. As he has already served about nine months on remand he could be released in four-and-a-half months.
In court, Jeremy Dein QC, for Fielder-Civil, urged the judge to suspend his sentence or sentence him to the nine months he has already served. He said Fielder-Civil was determined to rebuild his life with his wife. He said: “It’s their ambition to divorce themselves from hard drugs, not to separate themselves from each other.”
Mr Dein said Fielder-Civil “was of exemplary good character,” but was interrupted by Judge Radford, who said: “No previous convictions rather than exemplary good character, if what I read about him and the use of drugs is true.”
Amy was not in the court for the sentencing.
