    On December 4, 2023, NY v. Jonathan Majors kicked off with opening statements and its first witness testimony. This is the recap of Day 7 of this trial.
    FOR CONTEXT:
    New York prosecutors allege that on March 24, 2023, actor Jonathan Majors physically assaulted his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari in the back seat of a hired driver's car before throwing her back into the car after she tried to get out. Jabbari says that as a result of this altercation, she suffered a fractured right middle finger, a cut to her right ear, and bruising to her head. Majors, on the other hand, disputes the characterization of the altercation: he says she attacked him, and that he suffered scratches on his face and body as a result, and that he threw her into the car so he could get away from her before she tried chasing him down on the streets of New York.

      While both Grace and Jonathan likely had several red flags each to wave around and both probably should have gotten out of this relationship before it ever came to this, they are where they are now. A curious side effect to this case and food for thought for Grace: how many men are getting in the "I can't wait to date Grace Jabbari next!" line? Are there any in that line who have seen the videos of you taking his phone, chasing him down the street, creating a scene not just in public but in the middle of traffic at a red light (just creating a scene in public by itself is a big red flag, BTW)? Grace, you really have to question their motives and their sanity. Good luck on the dating scene, gurl! Jonathan will have his problems dating, too, but the issues Grace has in store for her are probably much worse.

    This came out after his guilty verdict on 2 of the 4 counts where the jury "split the baby" so to speak. And while I think that your explanation about burden of proof and reasonable doubt is the one that I have always understood just as a layperson, it really makes me wonder what the jury instructions were from the judge about the state's burden and about reasonable doubt, or even just the instructions on the charges at all, because I'm hearing different stories on that...
    I don't know if I'm going to follow cases anymore without being to watch them because this one was frustrating -- I don't understand it at all based upon the evidence and what I know of the law, but I also don't want to bag on the jury or any specific attorneys, because I don't know what the jury did or didn't see, or what they were instructed or not instructed, or any of that. It seems like they made a very difficult to understand compromise more based on a "well we gotta find him for something so let's figure out something to find him guilty on", rather than following legal standards. It's hard to know what's going on in their minds or what happened in the room -- there was a long deliberation for just 6 people on misdemeanors, so it makes me think there must have been some confusion in the case on what they were deliberating on.

      It's really easy in America you can never ever manhandle a white woman. When he lifted her up and put her back in the car. That by definition is assault.

    I don't know how the jury was able to convict beyond a reasonable doubt based on the evidence that was available to people outside of the courtroom. It seems to me that the jury didn't like him and wanted view him as a bad guy. It was also interesting that there wasn't a single black male on the jury pool. It opens up the conviction to scrutiny beyond the facts of the case in a society that perceives the courtroom as a place that is disproportionately against black male defendents. Even if that is an arguable position to take. It exist and should have been taken into account. As a person born in New York city I find it hard to believe that they couldn't agree on one black, Dominican, Puerto Rican, or otherwise melinated man that they could agree on.

      He called himself a monster in the text, said he was undeserving of love and tried to manipulate her with threats of ending his own life. He also had a text telling her not to get medical attention, to protect his career, they got him on 2nd degree harassment for this, they established a pattern of abuse in the form of harassment/emotional abuse, abuse isn't just physical. As far as assault, it was 3rd degree, they found him reckless, he didn't have to touch her at all, he could have gotten out the car and ran away without touching her. The other 2 more serious charges were dropped. They aren't saying he beat her up, but he was reckless. Not everything is racial. Either way you look at this, Majors needs help, he needs better team around him, and he needs to vet women better.

    From what I hear, it sounds like someone else assaulted her IF that. Like she was out with complete strangers, can she recall everything that happened the night before? How hard would it have been for someone to come back with her, assault her with a drug in her system, and her get those wounds the same way?

    The information that is missing for me is whether or not the charges for assault were simply because he placed her in the car and she could have gotten hurt or the incident that may have led to her broken finger and cut behind her ear. If it is the latter that is ridiculous. If you break a bone, it would swell up and become red in less than a hour. You would feel pain and no matter how trained you are to ignore it, you would notice that you were in pain and react to that pain. Partying with strangers, which is very odd and being upset would not change the fact that you would notice if your finger was broken and it would be visible. It is clear she cut her own self behind her ear and fell or bumped into something and broke her own finger. It is clear that those injuries did not come from the incident in the car from the video shown as he did not twist her arm, strangle her or anything else. He was pushing her in to the car and she kept trying to get out the car to follow him, he decided to stop fighting her and when they got out...he didn't smack her, grab her, yell at her....he ran away from her.....he ran and she chased him. She started and kept pursuing this fight. People may have given her the benefit of the doubt because she was cheated on and acting on emotion but does that excuse her behavior? Understandable and excusable are 2 separate things.

For your reference this is usually what would occur with a broken finger: In some cases, there may still be some range of motion and only dull pain. Fractures are common, and how bad they hurt typically depends on their stability. Usually within the next 5-10 minutes, you will notice swelling and redness. As the swelling continues, the finger will become stiff and difficult to move. You are speaking from a place of ignorance, Guen.

Also, the assault charge that he was acquitted of was the one related to the injuries she had as the jury didn't find that there was evidence proving that he caused those injuries as there was no camera footage of inside the car in addition to the driver's testimony. They only charged him with reckless assault which stemmed from him placing her back in the car.

    I have broken a lot of bones. If the issue of doubt is pain, I wouldn't dismiss it on that. Swelling though visible or not and impediment of mobility (especially fingers and toes) always occurs when near a joint. I may have been able to bend a finger or use a hand but it wasn't comfortable and you lose at minimum some range of motion. Your extremity also tends not to close with the others unless conciously done.
    Now if the injury was extremely minor maybe not. But I hit my hands with hammers a lot, even then. You don't have a perfect hand.
    But from the descriptions alone. I couldn't say how believable anything is. I would assume she was actually injured, the question is how.
    and I still don't know enough from this position to have any real idea what happened.

    So let me get this right, she was allowed to instigate a confrontation in the car, to the point where he had to remove himself from the car. As he was removing himself from the car, she tried to do so as well so she could continue her aggression and instigation, to which he attempted to physically hold her back from his person. Once removed from the car, she continued her aggression as he tried to disengage, to the point where he started to run from her to create space. She gave chase and to the point where he had to push her out of his space and then run in the direction AWAY from her!
    And in this, the charges against HER get DROPPED, and he gets charged for being RECKLESS in trying to get away from a clear AGGRESSOR.

    That's a pickle, i'm not sure out of the courtroom you could build any informed deliberation, unlike other proceedings we saw online. For example, we know her behavior and physiology changed while she was with J.M. The records show an overwhelming ego from the star and a very submissive attitude from the lady. A lot of factor can lead to a degenerate outcome, yes he tried to leave her in the video, but what was the whole story ? She may have lied multiple times to protect him, it's not unheard of and she has that kind of trend. The Jury had the space and exposition of the court to decide.
    I don't, and i think not many people do. So, it's a bit of a pickle, and i think that kind of escalation goes both ways.

      Also notice how I said "potential", so it's not just about who he is today but who he is striving to become, just like he said in the recording. Whatever you might personally think of him, he did have a very influential position (as a black man, he had a lot of people looking up to him and betting on him) and he has been dropped because someone with his record can't hold an influential position of power like that. Those are the facts, not my opinion, you have no idea what my personal opinions are on his success.
      So again absolutely nothing wrong with telling your girl to act classy in public cause you're on a very successful career trajectory and her reckless actions could reflect badly on you. That is not a lack of humanity and nothing to do with stardom. I would imagine a well respected doctor or lawyer also has had these kind of conversations with his potential partner, because he too wants to have good standing in the community. It would be crazy to assume the doctor/lawyer thought they were on the level of POTUS just because they compared their partner to Michelle O to illustrate their point lol.
