TORRANCE — The domestic-battery trial of Kings defenseman Slava Voynov, scheduled to begin Monday, is now likely to be delayed one week because of scheduling conflicts.

During a pretrial conference Wednesday in Los Angeles Superior Court, Deputy District Attorney Frank Dunnick told the judge he is working another case that will overlap with the Voynov matter and that he would prefer not to work the cases concurrently.

Conversations between Judge Eric Taylor and the lawyers in open court indicated that Voynov’s trial will now begin March 9.

Taylor seemed empathetic to Dunnick’s request, and indicated that a final decision will be made Monday, the day when jury selection had initially been scheduled to begin.

Voynov, 25, faces one felony count of corporal injury to a spouse with great bodily injury. He was arrested on Oct. 20, and police allege that Voynov punched, choked and kicked his wife during an incident at their Redondo Beach home. Voynov faces up to nine years in state prison.

Voynov and his wife, Marta Varlamova, have said (through their attorneys) that the incident was an accident, but during the preliminary hearing in December, a Redondo Beach police officer testified that Varlamov told him she was assaulted.

Voynov remains under indefinite suspension by the NHL.

Dunnick and Voynov’s attorney, Craig Renetzky, told the court Wednesday that they expect the trial to last five days. Renetzky said he intends to oppose the delay of the start of the trial.

Taylor also indicated that he will rule on Monday about the presence of still cameras and video cameras in the courtroom during testimony. Varlamova’s lawyer, Michael Walsh, said he would argue against the presence of cameras because of concerns about Varlamova’s privacy.
