00:00 A New York judge has denied a motion to dismiss the case against Jonathan Majors, meaning
00:04 his trial will move forward.
00:07 The Marvel actor is facing misdemeanor assault and harassment charges, and his trial has
00:12 been set for November 29.
00:14 The defense additionally filed a motion under seal requesting that certain evidentiary matter
00:19 continue to be under seal outside of public view.
00:22 The defense argued that this evidence contained sensitive information that could jeopardize
00:27 Majors' right to a fair trial.
00:29 Majors faces four misdemeanor charges of harassment and assault, stemming from his March 25 arrest
00:35 following an alleged domestic violence incident.
00:37 Police responded to a 911 call where a 30-year-old woman, later identified as Grace Jabari, reported
00:43 being assaulted by Majors.
00:45 Police noted that she had sustained minor injuries.
00:48 Majors was released from police custody later that day.
00:51 In June, the "Loki" actor filed a cross-complaint against Jabari, alleging that she attacked
00:56 him that night.
00:57 His attorney, Priya Chaudhary, has denied all wrongdoing on behalf of her client, and
01:01 has said that he had called 911 out of concern for Jabari's mental health.
01:06 Overall, the two parties disagree on the perpetrators of the event.
01:10 While Chaudhary has claimed her client is innocent and that Jabari was the aggressor,
01:14 the state claims that the events of March 25 began when the two were riding in a car
01:18 and Jabari saw a message on Majors' phone that read "Wish I was kissing you right now"
01:23 and reached over to grab the phone.
01:25 Majors then allegedly grabbed her hand, twisted her forearm, struck her ear, and later threw
01:30 her back inside the car after she had exited.
01:33 Jabari "sustained substantial pain, including a fractured finger, bruising about her body,
01:38 a laceration behind her right ear, and a bump on her head," according to the court docs.
