War Machine Trial Postponed to February |
LAS VEGAS—The trial for War Machine, aka Jonathan Koppenhaver, has been postponed until February, when he will face charges that he tried to kill his ex-girlfriend Christy Mack and her friend Corey Thomas. Koppenhaver had been scheduled for trial July 11 on 34 felony charges including attempted murder, battery, sexual assault and coercion during the attack in August 2014 at Mack's home in Las Vegas. The 34-year-old Koppenhaver, a former porn performer and mixed-martial-arts fighter, is already in a Nevada prison, serving 1 1/2 to four years on a probation revocation in a prior felony attempted battery case, according to the Associated Press. Koppenhaver could face life in prison if he’s convicted on the most serious charges. The former porn star Mack said she suffered a broken nose, missing teeth, fractured eye socket, leg injuries and a lacerated liver among other injuries, while Thomas said Koppenhaver broke his nose and dislocated his shoulder and threatened additional harm if he went to the police.
