Judge Rachel Pauley wished Majors’ "best of luck" as she scheduled his trial. "Yes, ma’am," Majors said, standing with his lawyers in front of Pauley's bench in Manhattan’s domestic violence court.Majors, 33, is accused of twisting a woman’s arm, striking her head and shoving her into a vehicle in New York City in March. He is charged with several misdemeanours, including assault, and could be sentenced to up to a year in jail if convicted.
Majors' legal team, led by lawyer Priya Chaudhry, had been pushing to have the actor's charges thrown out, contending that evidence contradicts the allegations and police and prosecutors have shown racial bias toward Majors, who is Black. Majors had been a fast-rising Hollywood star with major roles in recent hits like "Creed III" and "Ant-Man and The Wasp: Quantumania." But in the wake of his arrest, the U.S. Army pulled TV commercials starring Majors, saying it was "deeply concerned" by the allegations.
