After hours of emotional and conflicting testimony, ruling on Reuben Foster to come May 23

SAN JOSE – The woman who accused 49ers linebacker Reuben Foster of domestic violence gave emotional testimony in court Thursday, claiming Foster was not responsible for her injuries.

Elissa Ennis, 28, said she lied to police, hospital workers and her mother because she was angry that Foster told her he was ending their multi-year relationship.

“I was threatening Reuben,” she said on the witness stand during the preliminary hearing. “I was going to f--- up his career.”

Foster faced two felony domestic violence accusations and one felony charge of possession of an assault weapon during his preliminary hearing at the Hall of Justice.
