Jonathan Majors & Meagan Good Share An Emotional Moment During Defense Attorney’s Closing Statement

Defense attorney Priya Chaudhry gave a moving closing statement on behalf of her client at the conclusion of his misdemeanor assault trial.

Actor Jonathan Majors and his girlfriend Meagan Good got emotional during his defense attorney’s closing statement. As Majors’ attorney closed out the trial for his misdemeanor assault trial Thursday morning, Dec. 14, the couple shed a few tears.

Majors’ attorney, Priya Chaudhry, asked the jury, “Why are you here? You are here—You are here to end this nightmare for Jonathan Majors.”

According to People, Majors began crying as Chaudhry started her closing statement and wiped his tears on his coat sleeve as she told the jury, “Jonathan Majors is innocent.”

Meagan Good was present in the first row of the courthouse, sitting in the reserved seating, beside her boyfriend’s mother. She attended every court date of Majors’ trial and cried after Chaudhry’s closing argument statements.

She said, “His fear of what happens when a Black man in America calls 911 came true. And now we’re here.”

“These prosecutors bought Grace’s white lies, her big lies, and all her pretty little lies.”

As previously reported, Jonathan Majors is facing a charge of third-degree assault with intent to cause physical injury charges, assault in the third degree recklessly causing bodily injury, aggravated harassment in the second degree, and harassment in the second degree due to an alleged physical altercation with his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. While in New York City in March, the pair reportedly had a fight that led to his arrest.

The incident was recounted over the past few days of testimony. Jabbari told the court that for a year and a half Majors had bouts of “rage and aggression” during their relationship. She recounted that on the night of March 25, she and Majors got into a fight that resulted in the authorities being called and him being arrested.

The Lovecraft Country actor maintained his innocence throughout the trial, but if deliberations find him guilty and he is convicted, he will face up to a year in prison.
