The husband of boxing star Christy Martin will face a judge Wednesday
afternoon on charges of attempted first-degree murder and aggravated
battery with a deadly weapon for allegedly attacking his wife after she
told him she was leaving him for a woman.
James Martin, 67, filed a motion to post bond because he is in poor health, according to the Sun-Sentinel.
Assistant state attorney Ryan Vescio is fighting James Martin's
request to be released on bond because "the defendant not [only] used
multiple deadly weapons in an ambush-style attack [on] the victim, which
left her for dead, but admitted to stalking the victim to Daytona Beach
the day before, and then after the attack eluded law enforcement for a
week."
The attack happened in Christy Martin's Apopka, Fla., home November
23. She claims her husband stabbed and attempted to shoot her,
but she was able to get away and flag down help.
Christy Martin is being represented by celebrity attorney Gloria Allred, who will hold a post-hearing press conference about the case. In a statement issued Wednesday morning, Allred would not confirm the validity of allegations that the dispute broke out because Christy Martin planned to leave her husband for another woman.
