The Creed III actor Jonathan Majors, facing charges of assault and domestic violence following an alleged fight between him and his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, is still waiting for a verdict. Despite his recent trial, the jury left for the day without reaching a decision on the actor’s fate.
There appears to be a jury deliberation that almost hints at Jonathan Majors’ doomed fate and a year behind bars considering his four misdemeanor charges. According to US attorney Mark Nicholson, this delay in reaching a decision could gravely affect the final verdict, due to a rigged system.

Jury deliberations on Jonathan Majors’ Trial
After Jonathan Majors was accused of domestic violence following his alleged fight with his ex-girlfriend Grace Jabbari in March 2023, the actor was faced with charges after being dragged to the Manhattan court. After months of gathering evidence and legal proceedings, jury deliberations finally began in the trial of the Marvel star.
However, after a two-week trial including 15 witnesses, video surveillance footage, 911 audio, and alleged text messages, when the jury finally reached the process of deliberations, the court was adjourned for the weekend. According to Deadline, due to a late start, after two hours of deliberation, the jury was discharged without reaching a decision.
The NYC panel is again expected to be back in court to resume their discussion behind closed doors, on 18 December 2023. This particular situation of starting two hours late and adjourning the court and the jury for the weekend has been analyzed by US Attorney Mark Nicholson. The legal professional believes the delay might gravely affect Jonathan Majors’ fate.

Jonathan Majors Might Await a Rigged Jury
According to US attorney Mark Nicholson who shared a video on his YouTube channel, implied that Jonathan Majors might face a doomed fate since the jury was discharged without reaching a decision. Almost implying how the weekend break could rig the jury and affect the trial, Nicholson mentioned that Majors might face a year behind bars considering his four misdemeanor charges.
“I thought for sure, they would have come up with a verdict on Friday. And they did not. They deliberated and the judge released him to go home, and now they [the jury] are released to their own devices. Yes, they are admonished to not do any kind of research…but they are policing themselves…so I would anticipate, they’re probably going back and looking at information on the internet, going to biased websites that paint him so guilty and that is going to affect their opinion.”
Discussing the issues with the jury being released without reaching a decision, Mark Nicholson stated that the jury might have the possibility of getting rigged. Stating how curiosity can drive a few members of the panel to look things up on the internet, the US attorney mentioned that it could ultimately affect their opinion and eventually Jonathan Majors’ fate.
“What this means is some people believe he’s guilty, that’s why they can’t come up with a verdict. So the chance of him being convicted are great. My opinion has not changed. I still think the verdict should be not guilty…however, because they did not reach a verdict, some people think he’s guilty, and they’re going to have the weekend to think about it…so their opinion of his guilt is going to probably get stronger.”
Addressing how the weekend break for the jury might affect the trial, Mark Nicholson pointed out how Jonathan Majors might get convicted due to a rigged jury.
