It took a New York jury about five hours over three days to deliberate. With new girlfriend Meagan Good literally and figuratively standing behind Majors, the verdict was read. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the jury found Majors guilt of assault in the third degree and a guilty of harassment.
He was found not guilty of another count of assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree. The four charges stem from an altercation with Majors’ ex-girlfriend and former Marvel co-worker Grace Jabbari.
Police arrested Majors on March 25 for domestic violence after he claimed to find her unconscious in their apartment. She went to the hospital to treat her injuries, including a laceration behind her ear and a bruised, fractured finger.
The Incident That Led To Jonathan Majors Arrest And Criminal Charges

Jabbari testified that Majors caused these injuries in the back of a car the night before in an alleged altercation. She claimed that it started with an argument over another woman texting him, “Oh, how I wish to be kissing you.” She said when she tried to take his phone, the Creed III star pried her fingers back, twisted her arm, and hit her in the head to get the phone back.
The harassment charge came from the allegation that Majors slammed Jabbari back into the car as she tried to leave. Surveillance footage captured this action and subsequent foot chase but not the backseat altercation. Jabbari claimed she chased the actor to find out who sent the text.
As Jabbari stated in the texts Majors’ attorneys leaked shortly after the arrest, she tried to deflect blame from him. However, the state of New York pressed charges against him.
Majors did not testify during the trial. He denied all allegations against him and pleaded not guilty to the charges.
Jonathan Majors’ sentencing is set for Feb. 6.
