- Jonathan Majors’ domestic violence trial in New York City has been postponed again.
- The charges against Majors involve misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment stemming.
- The trial’s latest developments include a motion from Majors’ defense team to dismiss the case.
In a recent hearing in New York City, Judge Michael Gaffey presided over the ongoing domestic violence case involving actor Jonathan Majors. The trial, which was scheduled to begin on September 6, has been postponed once more, with no specific date set for its commencement.
During this rescheduled hearing, arguments were presented by both the Manhattan District Attorney’s office and Majors’ defense team. The key issues discussed included the exchange of evidence and a motion from Majors’ legal team to have the case dismissed.
The charges against Jonathan Majors stem from a March 25 incident involving his now-ex-girlfriend, which resulted in misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment. If convicted, the Loki star could face up to a year in jail.
Judge Gaffey refrained from making a ruling on the dismissal motion during Friday’s hearing. Instead, he has granted the District Attorney’s office until October 6 to respond to the defense’s motion. Subsequently, by October 13, the defense team must provide their response, and the judge is expected to deliver a ruling by October 25. Meanwhile, a protection order issued earlier this summer remains in effect.
Similar to the previous hearing on September 6, Jonathan Majors did not appear in person at the Manhattan courthouse. Instead, the actor participated virtually from Los Angeles, accompanied by his legal representatives and the district attorney’s office prosecutors.
This delay in the trial’s commencement underscores the ongoing legal proceedings and the importance of addressing the allegations against Jonathan Majors in a thorough and fair manner. The next few weeks will be critical in determining the fate of this case as both sides prepare their arguments and responses.
