Winehouse drops Norwegian appeal plans

Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil have dropped their appeals against their Norwegian drugs convictions, meaning she will not stand trial on 12 January.

Amy Winehouse will not now stand trial in Norway for drugs offences after deciding to drop plans to appeal the conviction.

As we reported yesterday, Winehouse, her husband Blake Fielder-Civil and her hairdresser were caught with seven grammes of marijuana in Norway in October 2007. They were released after paying fines of £294 but later appealed the convictions.

Winehouse was due to stand trial on 12 Jan, but her lawyer Ole Kvelstad said that she and Fielder-Civil had decided to drop their appeals after "a careful review".
