Hollywood star Jonathan course the trial continues with more testimony from witnesses. On Tuesday, two police officers who encountered Jabbari took the witness stand, along with the 30-year-old dancer’s friend and a social worker. A 911 call made by Majors was also shared in court during the trial.
The actor was accused of assault and harassment by his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, after an argument between the pair in a vehicle earlier this year.
Jabbari was on the witness stand for cross-examination and redirection over four days last week. During her testimony, she offered insight into her relationship with Majors, claiming that he had abused her from the beginning.
He also answered questions about his nightclub visit on the night of the alleged fight and read out old text messages between him and Majors, in which the actor threatened to kill himself and begged him not to go to the hospital to treat a head injury.
Majors, for his part, has yet to testify, and it is unclear whether he will do so during his trial. He was ordered by Judge Michael Gaffey, the judge presiding over the case, to continue to honor the temporary restraining order granted to Jabbari.

Majors arrived in court for the ninth day of his trial, accompanied by his actress girlfriend, Meagan Good. So far, he has yet to take the witness stand, while his accuser, Jabbari, testified for four consecutive days last week.
In today’s trial, two police officers who were present at the Major’s arrest for alleged assault testified before the jury.
Erik Lucero and Sergeant Bryan Hanson were the officers who responded to the 911 call from the actress the day after the alleged incident took place. Jabbari reportedly passed out on the floor of their apartment’s walk-in closet, and Majors couldn’t get into the room because it was locked.

A 911 call was played during the hearing, and according to Sergeant Hanson, a distraught Major called for help, fearing that Jabbari had overdosed on drugs or was suicidal.
In the call, the “Loki” star is heard saying “he’s unconscious” and “he’s my ex.” When questioned about Jabbari’s past medical history, Majors was recorded as saying that he did not know what his ex was taking.
Majors also told the 911 dispatcher that he was unable to access the area where Jabbari was and had to use the help of a handyman. The actress was then told to “watch her breathing.”
During his previous testimony, Jabbari admitted that he locked himself in the room, fearing for his safety. On the 5th day of the trial, he told the court, “To feel safe, I need everything locked up.”

NYPD officers reportedly found no evidence of drugs or pills at the scene to indicate that Jabbari had overdosed or attempted suicide.
The 30-year-old dancer was taken to Bellevue hospital later that day, where she was treated for a broken middle finger and a cut behind her ear. Per Diversity, Jabbari also revealed at the hospital that she had argued with her boyfriend and had swallowed two unknown sleeping pills. He woke up the next morning surrounded by emergency personnel.
While testifying, Officer Lucero said, “He was confused about his location. We told him to sit up straight. He said, ‘How did I get here? Is he here? Is he out there? … He stated that he had argued with her [Majors] the night before through a text he received. He stopped him from grabbing the phone.”

Officials who “determine [Majors] should be arrested in the matter of the investigation” was Sergeant Hanson. He claimed during his testimony that he found “a small amount of blood on the blanket on the bed. It was on the top of the blanket closer to someone’s head or upper body.”
Hanson stated that when he asked Jabbari about his injuries and the alleged fight, “he said he was hit in the head several times and [Majors] had strangled him.” The sergeant also shared that he found no injuries on Majors, whose attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has argued was the victim in the alleged assault.
Grace Jabbari’s Friends and Talent Agents Take the Witness Stand

Also taking the stand Tuesday was Jabbari’s friend and talent agent, Ben Totty, who testified that he visited the dancer at Bellvue hospital and also accompanied her to a psychiatric evaluation.
“He’s obviously emotional, a smaller personality, [more] obviously more upset than I’ve ever seen before,” Totty told the court. “Grace is half the person I’ve seen before. He was disappointed, devastated.”
A social worker named Josie Torielli, who provides counseling services to victims of trauma, intimate partner violence and domestic abuse, also testified in part in court.
The Majors objected to the prosecution calling Torielli an expert, but Judge Gaffey overruled it. The social worker’s testimony is now scheduled to continue on Wednesday.
The “Antman and The Wasp: Quantumania” actor has yet to testify in his own trial. Majors faces at least one year in prison if convicted of three misdemeanor counts of assault and harassment.
