Jonathan Majors’ Trial Set After Judge Denies Motion To Dismiss

Jonathan Majors Trial Set After Judge Denies Motion To Dismiss. The Loki actor, Majors, faces four misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault after being arrested following an alleged domestic violence incident on March 25.

Police responded to a 911 call where a 30-year-old woman, Grace Jabbari, reported being assaulted by Majors, with police noting that she had sustained minor injuries. Majors was released from police custody later that day.

In June, the Loki actor filed a cross-complaint against Jabbari, alleging that she attacked him that night. His attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has denied all wrongdoing on behalf of her client and said that he had called 911 out of concern for Jabbari’s mental health.

Gaffey said Wednesday that he will issue a new protection order barring Majors and Jabbari from having contact.

According to court documents, an investigatory card, or I-Card, was issued for Jabbari in late June about the cross-complaint.

However, prosecutors have informed police, defense, and Jabbari that they will not be prosecuting Jabbari about the incident, citing the belated nature of the allegations and the process of evaluating cross-complaints in domestic violence cases.

Chaudhry filed a motion to dismiss the case on Sept. 12, which, along with the state’s response, was evaluated by the judge in New York Criminal Court on Wednesday.

The defense’s motion claimed that the state withheld and buried evidence, which would support claims of Majors’ innocence and potentially cast suspicion on Jabbari as she testifies, and interfered with the NYPD’s investigation into Jabbari.

They also alleged that the state did not disclose communications with the NYPD or any benefits discussed about not prosecuting Jabbari, and the defense alleged there were missing 911 calls, among other items.

The two parties disagree on the perpetrators of the event. While Chaudhry has claimed her client is innocent and that Jabbari was the aggressor, the state argues that the events of March 25 began when the two were riding in a car, and Jabbari saw a message on Majors’ phone that read “Wish I was kissing you right now.” Majors then allegedly grabbed her hand, twisted her forearm, struck her ear, and later “threw her back inside” the car after she had exited. Jabbari sustained substantial pain, including a fractured finger, bruising about her body, a laceration behind her right ear, and a bump on her head.
