In a high-profile case that has captured national attention, Jonathan Majors, known for his roles in Marvel movies, has been found guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment by a New York jury. The verdict was reached after over four hours of deliberation spread across three days.

During the trial, the prosecution presented their case as an instance of domestic violence, alleging that Majors caused injuries to his ex-partner, Grace Jabbari, during an altercation in a car. Majors consistently pleaded not guilty to all charges.

The jury found Majors not guilty of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree. However, they found him guilty of reckless assault in the third degree and harassment. The charges carry a maximum sentence of up to one year in prison.

The trial proceedings were closely watched, with Majors appearing in person every day alongside his attorneys. He sat with his family members and girlfriend, Meagan Good, as the verdict was read. Sentencing is scheduled for February 6.

Grace Jabbari, who testified for the first four days of the trial, claimed that Majors caused her injuries during an altercation in the car after she discovered a text message on his phone. She stated that Majors pried her finger from the phone, grabbed her arm and right hand, twisted her forearm, and struck her head to retrieve the device.

The defense argued that Majors placed Jabbari back in the car to prevent her from running into traffic. Surveillance video captured this moment, although the alleged altercation inside the car was not captured on camera.

The charges brought against Majors were initiated by the state of New York, rather than by Jabbari herself. The case was a criminal trial, with the burden of proof resting on the prosecution, who had to establish guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.

Following the verdict, Ross Kramer, an attorney for Jabbari, released a statement expressing their gratitude for the jury's decision and hoping that it inspires other assault victims to seek justice. Majors' arrest has already had consequences for his career, as his publicity firm, managers, and a film release have distanced themselves from him.

The sentencing on February 6 will determine the consequences that Majors will face for the charges of reckless assault and harassment. As this high-profile trial concludes, it serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing domestic violence and seeking justice for survivors.
