New York Criminal Court Judge Michael Gaffey has approved the release of crucial evidence in the trial of Jonathan Majors. After just one day of testimony, the defense has decided to rest their case. Closing arguments are expected to begin Thursday, followed by the start of jury deliberations.
Majors is facing four charges, including misdemeanor assault, aggravated harassment, and harassment. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges. The evidence that has been released includes photos of bruising and a cut on Majors’ ex-partner, Jabbari, following the incident.
In addition to the photos, footage from various sources has also been made public. This includes a 911 call made by Majors, body-cam footage of police entering the apartment, and footage of Majors either “throwing” or “placing” Jabbari back into the car. Furthermore, an audio recording of Majors admonishing Jabbari has been released.
According to prosecutors, the incident took place after midnight on March 25 when Jabbari observed a text message on Majors’ phone. They argue that Majors’ actions constituted assault and harassment. However, the defense alleges that Jabbari was the aggressor in the car, highlighting a torn button on Majors’ coat as evidence.
After the incident, Majors reportedly stayed at a hotel before calling 911 upon his return to the apartment. Meanwhile, Jabbari was taken to the hospital for evaluation of her injuries and alleged self-harm.
During the trial, Majors’ agent testified that the defendant sounded concerned and distraught on the morning of the incident. However, Majors himself did not take the stand in his own defense.
As the trial nears its end, the fate of Jonathan Majors lies in the hands of the jury. The forthcoming closing arguments will likely play a crucial role in determining the verdict. Heartland Magazine will continue to closely monitor the developments in this high-profile case and provide updates as they become available.
