Winehouse beats charges with “too short defense”
You laughed at her defense, but maybe Amy Winehouse was too short to pop a dancer in the eye.
The bodacious, beehived Brit beat charges Friday, July 24, that she decked dancer Sherene Flash in the eye after the fan asked to take her picture following a charity ball in September, the Associated Press said.
One Wednesday, the scrappy soul singer said she was too tiny to have done the crime.
You know, if the arms don’t reach, you must not impeach.
Winehouse, who is about 5 foot 2 ½, told the court Flash was intimidating and all up in her personal space. She flung her hand to shoo the 5 foot 7 inch dancer away.
The judge said he could not be sure the blow had been deliberate, the AP said.

Michael Jackson’s doctor target of manslaughter investigation
Seems Michael Jackson’s personal physician may soon be in bad trouble.
Conrad Murray is officially the the target of a manslaughter investigation.
A search was filed Thursday, July 23, allowing authorities to seek “property or items constituting evidence of the offense of manslaughter that tend to show that Dr. Conrad Murray committed the said criminal offense,” the Associated Press reports.
Conrad, a cardiologist, is the doctor who unsuccessfully tried to revive Michael Jackson with CPR. The King of Pop died June 25.
The powerful anesthetic propofol was found in Jackson’s rented Los Angeles mansion. The Los Angeles Times says there was also an IV stand and oxygen tank.
MJ’s family suspects foul play.
What do you think?
