				 Jade's Husband Guilty Of Taxi Driver Attack Dying reality TV star Jade Goody's husband Jack Tweed has been found guilty of assaulting a taxi driver. 
 
Tweed, 21, was found guilty of common assault at Epping Magistrates' Court in Essex. 
Sky News reporter Alistair Bunkall said: "This verdict is another sorry and sad twist in story involving Jade Goody." 
 
He said Tweed had not been sentenced yet for the incident, which occurred during a taxi journey in the early hours of last year's May bank holiday. 
 
Then Jade's boyfriend, Tweed had boarded the cab with friends after leaving a club in Epping. 
 
The driver, Steven Wilkins requested payment up front, which was company policy, sparking a mid-journey row. 
 
The court heard Tweed refused to pay the fare and "became aggressive, swearing at Mr Wilkins and punching the back of the seat". 
 
Mr Wilkins told the court he was even forced into doing a half turn in the middle of the, fortunately empty, road. 
 
Tweed said he was too drunk to remember what went on, but insisted he would never assault a taxi driver, a claim supported by one of the party on board the taxi. 
 
The judge disagreed with their version of events, siding with Mr Wilkins.
