Jonathan Majors will be going to trial later this summer on domestic violence charges The Creed III actor appeared briefly his morning in Manhattan criminal courtroom to learn a trial has been set …
actor appeared briefly his morning in Manhattan criminal courtroom to learn a trial has been set to start on August 4. Majors is looking at up to a year behind bars if found guilty on the misdemeanor claims stemming from his late-night March 25 arrest.
Originally scheduled for last week, today’s hearing lasted just over two minutes. Dropped in April by managers 360 Entertainment and PR team the Lede Company , Majors was a virtual participant in the May 9 hearing in the matter. At that time, Judge Rachel S. Pauley told the actor and his lawyers that Majors had to show up in person next time or “a warrant can be issued for your arrest within 48 hours.”Majors’ defense team has insisted their client is innocent of any assault claims.
Today, Majors appeared before Judge Pauley, flanked by two attorneys and wearing a dark brown sport coat and white shirt. The judge reminded Majors that he could have “no contact whatsoever” with the woman and keep in touch with court officials in the weeks leading up to the trial date. If Majors were to fail to respond to any court orders or not appear for his trial, Pauley said he could be arrested and convicted in abstenria. “I obviously do not want that to happen,” she said.
“Yes, your honor,” Majors replied. Judge Pauley then dismissed the parties, wishing them “best of luck.” Beginning in the hours after Majors arrest almost three months ago, arraignment in front of a judge and subsequent release soon afterwards, lawyers for the Magazine Dreams actor have been adamant that he is “completely innocent and is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows.” Attempting to turn the spotlight on the alleged victim, a now former girlfriend of Majors, attorney Priya Chaudhry asserted “these charges to be dropped soon.
