“Conqueror” Jonathan Majors was found guilty of assault and harassment, and his sentence will be announced in February next year. (Oriental IC) Text
Jonathan Majors, who played “Kang the Conqueror” in “Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantum of Madness” just this year, was involved in a domestic violence dispute in March and was sued. He was now found guilty of assault and harassment. The sentence is expected to be announced in February next year, with a maximum penalty of one year in prison.
After three days and more than four hours of deliberation, a six-member jury finally made a verdict on December 18, US time, that they were guilty of assault and harassment. The verdict is scheduled to be announced on February 6 next year. The maximum penalty is One year in prison. The entire incident occurred at 11:14 a.m. on Saturday, March 25, U.S. time. The New York City police received a report. The reporter stated that he had been attacked and was sent to a local hospital for treatment due to minor injuries to his neck and head. The reporter of the 30-year-old woman alleged that a domestic dispute broke out with a 33-year-old man, and he was detained as a result. Later, the media confirmed that the man was Jonathan Majors.
The reporter was confirmed to be his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari during the trial. Grace testified in court that the injuries on his body occurred in a taxi they took together a few hours before the report was made. In the car, she saw a text message on Jonathan Majors’s phone that said, “Oh, how I want to kiss you.” So she tried to grab the phone from Jonathan, and Jonathan did the opposite. Spread her fingers, grab her arm and right hand, twist her forearm, hit her head, and snatch the phone back.
Another allegation was that Jonathan Majors threw Grace back into the car, but the defense attorney alleged that when Grace wanted to jump out of the car and run into the street, Jonathan was only trying to protect her from being hit by other vehicles. This scene was captured on the surveillance camera, but the interior of the car was not captured.
After a domestic violence dispute broke out and he was indicted by the prosecutor, Jonathan Majors’ career has been suspended, including the termination of contracts with his agency and public relations company. In addition, the new film “Magazine Dreams”, which debuted at the Sundance Film Festival at the beginning of the year, is also uncertain. It must be officially disclosed to the outside world.
Jonathan Majors’ defense attorney pointed out that Grace Jabari was the one who was violent in the car, and Jonathan’s coat was torn. Surveillance video also shows Grace Jabari chasing Jonathan out of the car after an argument broke out in the car. Grace’s theory was that she was chasing Jonathan because she just wanted to know who sent the text message.
The lawyer further claimed that after the quarrel in the car, Grace Jabari even went to a nightclub that night and bought champagne with Jonathan’s credit card; although she claimed that her right hand was injured, she could still move freely. Grace’s statement is that after the quarrel in the car, she asked three passers-by for help on the road, and they took her to a nightclub. She agreed to go to the nightclub just to seek comfort.
Jonathan Majors did not return to the apartment where the two lived that night. Instead, he took a ride and stayed in a hotel, and did not return home until the next day. When he returned home, he found that Grace Jabari had returned to her residence from the nightclub and was unconscious after taking sleeping pills, so he called 119.
Grace Jabari’s lawyer, after the jury’s verdict, said the verdict could encourage other victims, “It’s great to see justice served and that Grace testified openly and sincerely, even though it was extremely painful to relive these traumas.” . We thank the jury and judge for their attention and patience, and the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for their hard work and support. Grace’s determination to see this case through to the end is a testament to her tremendous strength and resilience. Unfortunately, for people like her, For survivors who have come forward to hold their perpetrators accountable, there are still many people in the world who cannot come forward. We hope that her actions can inspire these people to tell the truth and seek justice.”
