Amy Winehouse There's a verdict in the Amy Winehouse case.

The singer has been in court since Thursday.

But she has been found not guilty of assault.

The charges are in relation to an incident involving a dancer at a charity ball.

Amy was accused of hitting Sherene Flash in the face backstage at the Prince's Trust Ball in London in September last year.

Amy denied the charges of assault and said she was intimidated and scared by the dancer who she said demanded a picture with her.

Yesterday Amy told a judge at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court: "She was bigger than me. I pushed my arm upwards. I just wanted to get her away. I was scared."

Describing the incident, she said: "Suddenly, out of nowhere, she's got her arm around me, her face next to mine, and there's a camera in front of me.

"I was like, 'Hello? Do I get a choice in this. Hello?'"

Sherene's version of events went like this: "She looked drunk.

"She looked maybe like she was on drugs or something. She punched forcefully in my right eye. I started crying."

In March this year Amy appeared at the City of Westminster Magistrates' Court where she pleaded not guilty.
