Jonathan Majors assault trial starts with competing versions of confrontation
Actor Jonathan Majors listened silently as a Manhattan prosecutor and his defence lawyer offered competing accounts of a violent confrontation in the back seat of a car that led to assault charges against the film star and put his rapid Hollywood ascent on pause.
The opening statements in the New York trial against Majors centred on whether the actor assaulted his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, after she read a romantic text message sent to his phone by another woman.
