In a statement from March, Chaudry said, "Jonathan Majors is completely innocent and is provably the victim of an altercation with a woman he knows. We are quickly gathering and presenting evidence to the District Attorney with the expectation that all charges will be dropped imminently."

"The prosecution confessed to its unpreparedness, pushing the trial date to September 6. I presented no motions, did not ask to delay the trial, and there were no motions before the court," Chaudry went on to say. "Jonathan Majors has been waiting for 132 days to clear his name of these false allegations while the NYPD waits to arrest his accuser upon her New York return."

Previously, Majors' Attorney — Priya Chaudry of the Chaudhry Law PLLC — spoke out in defense of the claims surrounding her client's case. "Many outlets have misreported what happened on Jonathan Majors' August 3 court date, falsely claiming that I made a motion to delay the trial. That is untrue and incorrect," Chaudry said in a written statement provided to Newsweek back in August.

I'm sure he'll be pressed by the Disney owned fluff outlet.

The case stems from an incident in March, wherein Majors was caught on video in an altercation with Jabbari. Prosecutors alleged that Majors "didn't hesitate to use physical violence" against his ex, alleging that he grabbed her right hand and twisted her arm behind her back before striking "a blow" to her head.

On Dec. 18, Majors was convicted on one count of reckless assault in the 3rd degree, as well as one non-criminal charge of harassment as a violation. He was acquitted of another assault charge and one count of aggravated harassment. According to CNN, a jury of six deliberated for less than five hours over the course of three days.
