Jonathan Majors got teary-eyed as his lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, presented her closing remarks during his New York City domestic violence trial
Jonathan Majors got emotional as his lawyer once again declared his innocence during the closing statements of his domestic violence trial.
“Why are you here? You are here to end this nightmare for Jonathan Majors,” the Marvel star’s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, said in court on Thursday, December 14, according to People. “Jonathan Majors is innocent.”
Chaudhry’s comments reportedly prompted a tearful reaction from Majors, 34, who was seen wiping his face with his coat sleeve. Majors’ girlfriend, Meagan Good, also shed a tear and was comforted by his mother.
During her final remarks, Chaudhry argued that the basis of the case against Majors boils down to race. “His fear of what happens when a Black man in America calls 911 came true,” she stated. “And now we’re here.”
Majors was arrested in New York City for an alleged assault involving a 30-year-old woman, who was later revealed to be his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari. CNN reported at the time that Majors allegedly hit the victim “with an open hand, causing substantial pain and a laceration behind her ear,” and “put his hand on her neck, causing bruising and substantial pain.
