Celebs behaving badly?
Both Amy Winehouse and Steven Gerrard have been found not guilty in their separate trials.
Amy was accused of hitting burlesque dancer Sherene Flash in the face while backstage at the Prince’s Trust Ball in Berkeley Square, central London, last September.
City of Westminster Magistrates’ Court heard that the singer struck Miss Flash in an act of “deliberate and unjustifiable violence”.
However Winehouse denied assaulting the dancer and insisted she was intimidated and scared by the drunken Miss Flash, who was demanding a photograph with the star. Verdict: Not guilty!
Similarly over in Liverpool crown court, Marcus McGee, 34, said he was punched in the face by Gerrard in a brawl at a bar in Southport last December.
Gerrard admitted hitting McGee three times but denied affray, saying he had been acting in self-defence as he thought the other man was about to strike him.
Verdict: Not guilty!
