War Machine Laughs in Court at Ex-Girlfriend's Sexual Abuse Testimony
Jonathan Koppenhaver, the mixed martial arts fighter known as "War Machine," was admonished in a Las Vegas courtroom yesterday for laughing during the testimony of alleged victim Christy Mack. Koppenhaver's lawyer denied his client had laughed at all, causing judge Melanie Andress-Tobiasson to respond, "I watched him laugh."
According to NBC, Koppenhaver now faces 34 felony charges—including kidnapping, sexual assault and attempted murder—related to the alleged abuse of his former girlfriend, popular porn performer Christy Mack.
In August, the MMA fighter was famously the subject of a weeklong manhunt after a brutal attack that left Mack nearly dead.
