L. Adidas Nmd R2 Herre Dk .A. Kings defenceman Slava Voynov has been suspended indefinitely with pay following his arrest on suspicion of domestic violence. The City of Redondo Beach Police Department issued a press release indicating that a female could be heard screaming and crying from Voynovs home, and that later that night, Voynov accompanied the alleged victim to the hospital where he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence. The Charges Voynov was arrested pursuant to Section 273.5 of the California Penal Code. A person is charged under this section if he or she willfully inflicts corporal injury resulting in a traumatic condition upon a victim. Willfully means a person acted on purpose. Traumatic refers to any injury caused by the application of physical force. Traumatic injuries can be either serious or minor, and include broken bones, concussions, sprains, bruises and injuries from suffocation or strangulation. A domestic violence crime under Section 273.5 is either a misdemeanor or a felony. A felony is the far more serious charge. The type of charge will depend on a number of factors, including the severity of the injuries sustained and whether the defendant has a history of violence. With a felony, Voynov would be facing up to four years in state jail with an additional five years if great bodily injury was inflicted. On the other hand, a misdemeanor is punishable by up to one year in county jail. NHL Suspends Voynov To Protect Its Reputation As per Article 18-A.5 of the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement, which deals with off-ice discipline, Voynov was suspended indefinitely with pay. This section provides that the league may suspend the Player pending the Leagues formal review and disposition of the matter where the failure to suspend the Player during this period would create a substantial risk of material harm to the legitimate interests and/or reputation of the League. There is a misconception that since this language appears in the CBA, the NHLPA agreed to a suspension for suspected domestic violence and as a result it cant challenge the NHLs decision. Thats not the case. The Union did indeed collectively bargain Article 18; however it did not expressly agree to a suspension for suspected domestic violence. The language in this section is certainly broad enough to capture the Voynov suspension. To conclude, however, that the NHLPA explicitly agreed to a player suspension in these specific circumstances is not accurate. It agreed to let the league protect its reputation. When and how it does that is open to interpretation. NHLPA & A Grievance The NHLPA could grieve this case with a view to getting Voynov reinstated. The NHLPA would argue that a suspension based merely on allegations fails to respect due process and the cherished principle of the presumption of innocence. While a presumption of innocence in certain circumstances makes us uncomfortable, the NHLPA would argue, it is the cornerstone of the judicial system and must be respected at all levels. Voynov is innocent until proven guilty, and the NHLPA would say that the NHLs actions are capricious, while also prematurely suggesting guilt. The NHLPA would also argue that the NHL would not be materially harmed if it first waited for law enforcement to decide the matter. Further, the NHLPA cares about precedent. By allowing Voynovs suspension to go unchallenged, it is mindful it may become more difficult to mount a meaningful objection in future for a similar case. As well, the NHLPA may be concerned that other players may be falsely accused of wrongdoing by a former spouse or companion looking to extract revenge for a bad breakup, etc. Since a mere allegation of domestic violence may sustain a suspension, there is an incentive for a scorned lover to manufacture a story with a view to inflicting harm and embarrassment on a player. Another Case: Semyon Varlamov Despite being formally charged in November of last year with third degree assault after allegedly attacking his girlfriend Evgeniya Vavrinyuk, Colorado Avalanche goaltender Semyon Varlamov was still permitted to play. The NHLPA would argue that this constitutes inconsistent treatment of its members and the only reason Voynov is being suspended is because the incident occurred post-Rice. Ray Rice Changed Everything The NHL could point to Ray Rice to support its position. Times have changed since the appalling video evidence of Rices left cross surfaced. That video changed the way people react to domestic violence. Gone are the days when sports fans put up with it. The public sentiment is now one of complete intolerance and absolute scorn. As a result, the league could argue that allowing Voynov to play could tarnish or irreparably harm its reputation. That could translate into a loss of sponsors, season ticket holders and fans. This argument falls squarely within the four corners of Article 18-A.5, which is designed to protect the reputation of the league. Is it a subjective interpretation? Depends who you ask. Is it unreasonable? No. The league would also be clear that each case is considered on its own facts and that suspensions will not be automatic in cases of domestic violence allegations. Deputy Commissioner Bill Daly acknowledged the changing times together with a belief that the circumstances were different than Varlamov. I think the landscape has changed for all of us over the past six months, Daly said in an email to thn.com. But thats not the only reason for the difference in treatment. Circumstances were different in Varlamov. I cant get more specific than that. Ultimately, the NHL would argue that its taking the prudent approach, and while not ideal, the dramatically different landscape surrounding domestic violence forced its hand. While not without legal risk, the NHLs position is not unreasonable and may well withstand legal scrutiny. Both sides, though, have good arguments. That generally happens when broad legal language is open to interpretation. And Article 18 is no exception. Voynov Could Sue As for Voynov, there is the possibility he could sue the NHL if ever acquitted. While remote, he could allege that his acquittal proves he did nothing wrong and his immediate suspension damaged his reputation and earning potential. Domestic Violence: A Deportable Crime In the U.S., the crime of domestic violence can lead to serious immigration consequences for defendants who are not U.S. citizens. Under a federal law called the Immigration and Nationality Act, a non-citizen can be ordered deported if he is convicted of domestic violence. So apart from prison time, Voynov could also be deported. Victims Refusal To Testify Domestic violence in the state of California is not only considered a crime against the person, but also against the state. This means that a prosecutor has the authority to pursue criminal charges of domestic violence even if the alleged victim doesnt want to cooperate. A prosecutor has subpoena power, which means he or she can force the accuser to testify. Its generally preferable to have the victims cooperation, but its not necessary. Whats Next for the NHL? A domestic violence policy. Adidas Nmd r2 Dame .J. -- Patrick Sharp is on one of those streaks. Adidas Nmd r1 Herre Danmark . "He came up to me and said, I want to train," said Toronto coach Ryan Nelsen. The 26-year-old midfielder is expected to play Saturday night when Toronto hosts D.C. United, returning to his Major League Soccer squad with mixed feelings about the Americans World Cup run -- sad that it ended when it did but proud of his teams performance. http://www.dknmdskotilbud.com/adidas-nmd-dame-outlet-danmark.html . According to Dave Stubbs of The Montreal Gazette, preliminary talks have begun between Markov - an unrestricted free agent this summer - and general manager Marc Bergevin.PARIS -- Ireland held on grimly in a nail-biting finish to beat France 22-20 and win its first Six Nations since 2009, giving centre Brian ODriscoll the perfect send-off in his last test on Saturday. With just over a minute remaining, ODriscolls and Irish hearts sank when France No. 8 Damien Chouly scored in the right corner, but the try was disallowed for a forward pass from captain Pascal Pape. "Im over the moon, very happy for the lads and obviously very happy for Brian in his last international," Ireland captain Paul OConnell said. "Historically, this is always our toughest Six Nations with England away from home and France away from home, so to win the championship with these two fixtures is a great success." Ireland flyhalf Jonathan Sexton scored two tries among a personal 17 points to steal the limelight in ODriscolls world-record 141st and final test. Right winger Andrew Trimble got Irelands other try. "There is where it all began and to finish with a medal around my neck 15 years later is incredible," said ODriscoll, who was still in his jersey at the news conference. "Its been a fantastic Six Nations for us. Ive enjoyed every second. I dont really want to take this jersey off yet." Irelands last win in Paris was in 2000, when ODriscoll, nine months into his great career, scored a hat trick of tries and made his name. "I dont think anybody will step into Brians shoes," Ireland coach Joe Schmidt said. "Theyre rather big, but hopefully they can grow into them." Irelands title was only its second in 29 years, and relegated England to second for a third straight year. England beat Italy 52-11 in Rome earlier, forcing Ireland and France, a long shot for the title, to win or miss out. France finished fourth, Wales rising to third with a 51-3 defeat of Scotland. France, after an indifferent campaign, came to the party with all guns loaded and produced the games highlight moment, its first try to fullback Brice Dulin. There was a controversial second try from hooker Dimitri Szarzewski, who knocked on before scoring against the post. "Of course its frustrating to finish fourth," France coach Philippe Saint-Andre said. "You cant say our players cant play rugby and that they dont have any desire. We showed enormous ambition to play good rugby. The highesst level is very cruel and you have to congratulate Ireland and ODriscoll. Adidas Nmd Dame Tilbud. " France missed chances in the last 10 minutes to take the lead, when replacement scrumhalf Jean-Marc Doussains penalty drifted wide and the disallowed try. "I would have liked to have closed it out a lot better than we did," OConnell said. "Ive been coming to Paris since I was 22, its a very tough place to win. Ive never won here before. In my year as captain, at 34 and in Brians last cap, it really is an incredible feeling." ODriscoll kissed the Six Nations trophy before OConnell raised it aloft, sending Irelands large contingent of fans into delirium again. "I tried to channel the emotions into the performance. You cant allow the occasion to get the better of you," ODriscoll said. "You have to try and make sure youre a cog in the wheel of the team. The emotions come after and they did, and Im sure therell be a few tears later on with multiple beers on board. But its a wonderful way to finish." Early momentum, especially from centre Mathieu Bastareaud, was with France for a 6-0 lead. Sextons first try cut the lead to one, and soon after, scrumhalf Conor Murrays clever footwork and pass released Trimble for a try and 12-6. Stung back into action, the French pack took control. With blood pouring from a cut under his right eye, Szarzewski gained ground and flyhalf Remi Tales lofted a pin-point cross-kick to the right corner, where winger Yoann Huget brilliantly palmed it down to Dulin, who scored. It was Frances best move of the tournament. Sexton missed a penalty, the last act of the half, to allow France to go into the interval 13-12 ahead but without prop Nicolas Mas, who trudged off with his right arm in a sling. In the second half, Trimbles superb run down the right almost earned the supporting ODriscoll a try. Ireland recycled, and Murray sent Sexton over for the seven-pointer. Another penalty from Sexton made it 22-13. But France wasnt finished. Just after the hour mark, Szarzewskis try that really wasnt cut the margin to two. The Irish resisted the final French onslaught to send ODriscoll into a happy international retirement "Not many people get to finish their career on their own terms and with high emotions," ODriscoll said. "I feel very fortunate." ' ' '
