Judge Rachel Pauley wished Majors’ “best of luck” as she scheduled his trial. “Yes, ma’am,” Majors said, standing with his lawyers in front of Pauley’s bench in Manhattan’s domestic violence court. Tuesday’s hearing was his first time in court since just after his March 25 arrest in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood. He appeared by video at a brief hearing in the case last month where prosecutors announced they had revised the assault charge to reflect the perspective of Majors’ accuser. A police officer’s account was used in the original version.

Majors’ legal team, led by lawyer Priya Chaudhry, had been pushing to have the actor’s charges thrown out, contending that evidence contradicts the allegations and police and prosecutors have shown racial bias toward Majors, who is Black.
