Amy Winehouse Rumored to Appeal Drug Charges
Word on the street is that Amy Winehouse, famous for her “Rehab” song, will appeal the October 2007 drug charges against her and her husband. Winehouse and her hubby, Blake Fielder-Civil, were arrested in Bergen, Norway after they were found in possession of marijuana. They both paid a fine of $429 for the seven grams of marijuana but later alleged that the police made some mistakes.
Winehouse’s defense attorney has said that paying the $429 could be interpreted as a guilty plea and may create issues for Winehouse if she tries to enter the United States.
According to The Times of London, a police prosecutor has stated publicly that Winehouse must appear in court on January 12 to appeal the drug charges or her appeal will most likely fail.
