Blake Fielder-Civil, the husband of the singer Amy Winehouse, got into a barroom fight in 2006 and beat up a pub manager, James King. Though he has admitted he offered Mr. King $400,000 to keep quiet about the incident, a British court acquitted Mr. King on Wednesday of obstructing justice by taking a bribe, The Associated Press reported. Mr. King, who ended up with a broken cheekbone, said he had been intimidated into dropping assault charges. Mr. Fielder-Civil and three others face jail terms when they are sentenced.
