Jonathan Majors' Domestic Violence Trial Begins Amid 'Highly Unusual' Circumstances

Actor's accuser was arrested and released, while certain evidence remains under seal due to concerns about tainting the jury pool.

  • Jonathan Majors' domestic violence trial has begun, with jury selection delayed by one day due to 'highly unusual' circumstances surrounding the case.
  • Majors, who faces charges of assault, attempted assault, harassment and aggravated harassment, has vehemently denied the allegations through his attorney.
  • The actor's accuser, Grace Jabbari, was arrested in October on charges of third-degree domestic assault and criminal mischief, but the charges were later dropped due to lack of 'prosecutorial merit'.
  • Majors' legal team has successfully argued for certain evidence to be kept under seal and for the courtroom to be closed during discussions of this evidence, citing concerns about tainting the jury pool.
  • If convicted, Majors could face up to a year in jail.
