Jonathan Majors to Present Video Evidence He Is ‘Completely Innocent’ of Assault Charges, Attorney Says
Jonathan Majors #JonathanMajors
Jonathan Majors’ criminal defense lawyer claims the actor’s legal team will present video evidence that he is “completely innocent” of the assault charges that led to his Saturday arrest, “with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently.”
“This evidence includes video footage from the vehicle where this episode took place, witness testimony from the driver and others who both saw and heard the episode, and most importantly, two written statements from the woman recanting these allegations,” Majors’ criminal defense lawyer Priya Chaudhry said in a statement. “All the evidence proves that Mr. Majors is entirely innocent and did not assault her whatsoever.”
The statement comes a day after Majors was arrested in New York City, accused of domestic dispute, after the victim, who was not identified, “sustained minor injuries to her head and neck and was removed to an area hospital in stable condition.”
The legal team for the “Creed III” actor also suggested that Majors was “probably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows” following what the criminal defense attorney calls “an emotional crisis” originating from the women involved in the incident.
“Unfortunately, this incident came about because this woman was having an emotional crisis, for which she was taken to a hospital yesterday,” the statement continued. “The NYPD is required to make an arrest in these situations, and this is the only reason Mr. Majors was arrested.”
Given the video evidence to be presented to the District Attorney, the legal team stated they expect the charges in question will be dropped soon.
