Following Jonathan Majors’ digital look in a standing convention involving the costs in opposition to him on Tuesday, the actor’s lawyer has described the case as “a witch hunt.”
The star’s lawyer, Priya Chaudhry, made a press release after new particulars had been added to the grievance. The total quote is as follows (through Deadline):
“We now have supplied the District Lawyer with irrefutable proof that the girl is mendacity, together with video proof exhibiting nothing occurred, particularly not the place she claimed. We did this with the express promise from the DA that they might not ‘repair’ their case and alter it as we proved the girl is mendacity.
“This can be a witch hunt in opposition to Jonathan Majors, pushed by baseless claims. As a substitute of dismissing the allegations within the face of the girl’s clear lies, the DA has adjusted the costs to match the girl’s new lies. To be clear, there are not any new costs in opposition to Mr. Majors. Now, we have now obtained much more video proof of his innocence, however we’re hesitant to share it, for worry the DA will tip the girl off to vary her story once more.
“The legal justice system is saturated with express and implicit bias. When Mr. Majors confirmed a white police officer the accidents the girl prompted him, the white officer bought in Mr. Majors’ face and taunted him, saying that if the officer had been to slap Mr. Majors, the officer wouldn’t break his finger. Not one of the white officers current investigated the assault of Mr. Majors. Worse, the District Lawyer has not indicated any intention to pursue costs in opposition to the girl, and even examine the reality.”
