LOS ANGELES -- Slava Voynov's attorney says the Kings defenseman never hit his girlfriend, and he blames Voynov's arrest on a misunderstanding partly caused by the couple's limited English.
Craig Renetzky is hopeful the NHL will end Voynov's indefinite suspension after reviewing the events that led to Voynov's arrest at a hospital near his home.
"From everything they've both said to me, this didn't amount to a crime," Renetzky said. "I think when the police understand what happened, their impression will be quite different."
Renetzky interviewed Voynov and his girlfriend extensively with help from a Russian interpreter. Without providing specific details, Renetzky said Voynov's girlfriend's injury resulted from "an accident."
"Slava never hit her," Renetzky said. "She was injured, but it's not a result of Slava punching her or anything remotely like that." |
If you read the whole thing, the lawyer says (paraphrasing) "I don't know what happened because they won't tell me, but she says he didn't hit her. It's because of the language barrier, but he won't tell me what the language barrier problem was. He did nothing wrong"
