Voynov will stand trial for felony, disturbing details emerge at domestic violence hearing
A California judge has ruled that there's enough evidence for Slava Voynov to stand trial after the prosecution painted an ugly portrayal of the Los Angeles Kings defenseman in court on Monday.
The bloody details, descriptions and images pertaining to his alleged attack against his wife were grotesquely illustrated in the courtroom.
A Redondo Beach police officer took the stand, stating that Voynov's wife said she was struck in the face and was left with a laceration over her left eye that required eight stitches.
But the details didn't stop there, courtesy of the Los Angeles Times' Nathan Fenno.
Officer: Voynov pushed wife to ground multiple times, kicked her repeatedly while on ground, chocked her three times.

I can only catch quick glimpses of photos of the injuries to Voynov's wife. Lots of blood.

At Voynov's home, the officer noted blood all over bedroom, including covering comforter and a bloody handprint on floor.

Voynov pleaded not guilty at his arraignment earlier this month. He will return to court Dec. 29 after the action to reduce his charge to a misdemeanor was dismissed.
