Celebrity actor Jonathan Majors will have his day in court with the start of his trial for a misdemeanor assault and harassment charges stemming from an alleged altercation with his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, in March. How long will the trial last? Is he facing jail time? Why was his accuser not charged? The answers to these questions are coming into focus now that the trial is about to commence.
But what do we know about the actual incident? Majors’s attorney claims he is the victim, stating that the actor is not guilty of the accusations brought against him. The NYPD report indicates that Jabbari was treated at a hospital for minor injuries, and she was granted a temporary order of protection.
Prosecutors are bringing five charges against Majors, including assault and harassment. The case has been delayed three times, leading to speculation about behind-the-scenes discussions and the possibility of a settlement. Questions also linger as to why the alleged victim was not charged in the incident, especially considering that she was arrested in New York on different charges due to a cross-complaint filed by Majors’s attorney.
What effect will this case have on Majors’s career? Will an acquittal restore his favor in the eyes of the public, despite the serious allegations against him? These questions await the outcome of the trial, set to begin on November 29th at New York Criminal Court.
