Judge Denies Motion to Toss Jonathan Majors Conviction
A New York judge on Wednesday denied a defense motion to throw out Jonathan Majors’ assault and harassment conviction for attacking his ex-girlfriend in the back of a car last year.
The denial paves the way for the actor to be sentenced on April 8, where he faces up to a year in prison in connection with the March 25, 2023 incident with Grace Jabbari.
Majors, 34, was convicted in December of misdemeanor third-degree reckless assault and a non-criminal harassment charge. Last month, his defense attorney asked Jude Michael Gaffey to set aside the verdict and find him not guilty of the charges. Prosecutors pushed back on the defense request in their own motion, CNN reported.
