Sergey Kovalev Trial
From ESPN
Former three-time light heavyweight world titlist Sergey Kovalev, who faces up to four years in prison if convicted of the felony assault charge he faces in California, has changed attorneys and had his trial delayed.
At a hearing on Monday, when Kovalev's trial date was supposed to be scheduled, Judge Dwight W. Moore of the Superior Court of California for San Bernardino County delayed Kovalev's next pre-trial hearing until April 8 and did not set a trial date, according to San Bernardino County online court records.
One of the reasons for the delay likely was the fact that Monday's hearing was the first for Kovalev at which he was represented by a new attorney, Keith Bruno of Carpenter, Zuckerman & Rowley. According to court records, Kovalev relieved attorney Dmitry Gorin, who had been representing him in the case.
The trial was originally scheduled to begin Nov. 25, according to online court records, but was postponed with a hearing scheduled for Monday.
By the time Kovalev's trial begins it likely will have been more than two years since he was arrested on June 9, 2018, in connection with an incident at a party in Big Bear Lake, California, in which he allegedly punched a woman in the face, broke her nose, gave her a concussion and displaced a disk in her neck after she rejected his sexual advances.
Kovalev was released on $50,000 bail, according to the court records, and was eventually charged with assault likely to cause great bodily injury. He pleaded not guilty.
Since being charged Kovalev (34-4-1, 29 KOs), 36, a Russia native fighting out of Los Angeles, has boxed four times, losing his 175-pound world title to Eleider "Storm" Alvarez by upset seventh-round knockout, regaining it by dominant unanimous decision over Alvarez in an immediate rematch, defending the title by 11th-round knockout of Anthony Yarde in a Russia homecoming fight in August, and then losing the belt by 11th-round knockout to Canelo Alvarez on Nov. 2 in Las Vegas in one of the most significant fights of 2019.

Sergey Kovalev previously posted a message on Instagram denying the assault, despite there being eyewitnesses.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 06:26 Sergey Kovalev Pleaded Guilty in Assault Case and Received 3 Years Probation
It’s rather interesting to see him change his mind and finally come clean.
Three years probation seems too lenient to me, especially after the plane incident.
He’s obviously very aggressive once he’s had a drink inside of him.

Pleading guilty can be an easier option at times.
Avoid any further trials, digging.
And you get a more lenient charge.

But by admitting to being guilty of assault, he's also admitted to trying to commit adultery.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 06:55 Pleading guilty can be an easier option at times.

That might be the real reason for his initial denial of his criminal offence.

Not everyone who pleads guilty isn’t actually really guilty. Who knows. But like you said, the books will show you as a criminal.Enlightened-One wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 07:17But by admitting to being guilty of assault, he's also admitted to trying to commit adultery.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 06:55 Pleading guilty can be an easier option at times.

Re: Sergey Kovalev Trial
Kovalev is definitely guilty of this crime though. He had already paid-off the victim in a separate lawsuit.Ruthless-RKO wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 07:20Not everyone who pleads guilty isn’t actually really guilty. Who knows.

So Krusher has officially declared his guilt twice. And so everyone should take his admission seriously and consider him a criminal.

You can consider him whatever you want.
I'm sure he'll think very highly of you too.
The defendant meanwhile seems to have happily accepted his money by way of remuneration.

Let's consider Krusher's recent controversies, shall we?
Sergey was recently arrested and charged with a drink-driving offence.
He was also kicked off a flight for groping a fellow passenger, as well as kissing and throwing money at the victim. Other passengers had to intervene, and the police were also involved in the incident.
And Kovalev has also admitted guilt twice (once in a civil case & another in a criminal case) to a felony assault charge, which resulted in the victim suffering several injuries, such as a broken nose and a herniated neck that required several surgeries to fix (i.e. a metal plate and four screws in her neck, as well as a nose reconstruction).
Krusher also broke her dog's nose when it tried to intervene in the altercation.
And the reason for Kovalev going into a rampage and committing the assault crime? Well, it was simply because he was drunk and outraged, due to the victim having the sheer audacity to reject his sexual advances.
What I've written isn't an opinion piece based on idle gossip. These are crimes that Sergey has actually committed!
The tone of your post suggests you’re defending the man and you also consider the victim as being a money-grabbing vulture!

I'm not suggesting anything. These are the facts.
Nor can I help whatever it is you might be considering, or getting triggered by.
That's entirely your business.
My problem is you telling me what I should think.
Whatever do you think gives you any moral right to do that?

got off pretty light there, prob satisfied with that sentence i imagine
Re: Sergey Kovalev Trial
Yeah, but I doubt this is the end. Kovalev will self destruct, he's seems out of control. I just hope he keeps on fighting well into his 40's.margaret thatcher wrote: ↑04 Oct 2020, 22:20 got off pretty light there, prob satisfied with that sentence i imagine

If you comment on one of my posts, I'm entitled to respond. If you don't want to engage in a discussion with me, then ignore my posts. It's that simple!Thomastearns wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 10:41I'm not suggesting anything. These are the facts.

Your initial response to my post was to downplay the incident, by claiming the victim was allegedly "happy" with her settlement figure, despite no one truly knowing whether this is the case or not.
So I asked you a question and also listed Kovalev's misdemeanours, because you probably weren't aware of the things he admitted to. I also explained the reason why I thought Kovalev was guilty, because let's face it, he admitted to his crime.
Anyway, this is a discussion board, so let me ask the same question again, do you think Kovalev is innocent, even though he has admitted to committing this crime?
All I require is a simple yes or no answer. No theatrics please.
