Jonathan Majors' Domestic Violence Trial Begins, Adding to Disney's Terrible Year

The domestic violence trial of actor Jonathan Majors has begun in New York City, with the judge clearing the public courtroom of spectators to protect Majors' rights. Majors is facing misdemeanor assault and harassment charges stemming from an incident in March against his then-girlfriend. The trial is marked by delays and clashes between lawyers, and the sealed documents at issue contain information on potential past incidents involving the actor. Majors has pleaded not guilty to all charges and his defense argues that he was the victim of escalating domestic violence. The trial is expected to have significant consequences for Majors' career.
