Voynov's laywer says his client is innocent

Craig Renetzky, a criminal lawyer who is representing Slava Voynov, said the language barrier has created a misunderstanding and the injuries were a result of an accident. The lawyer for Los Angeles Kings defenseman said he interviewed the victim of Voynov’s alleged domestic abuse incident for more than an hour Tuesday and, “it’s clear to me there was no crime here,” and doubts his client will even be charged with an offense. Renetzky said he hopes authorities will proceed quickly, saying he hopes this can be cleared up before Voynov’s Dec. 1 court date. If it stretches that long, Voynov will have missed 18 games for the Kings.
