New York, NY – In a recent interview, Jonathan Majors expressed shock at the verdict in his domestic assault case. The sentencing for the former Marvel star was postponed after he was convicted in December. Majors, 34, was found guilty of assault and harassment but acquitted of other charges. The actor faces a maximum sentence of one year in prison.
Majors was arrested in March 2023 after his ex-girlfriend accused him of assaulting her. His attorney claimed that the jury did not believe the ex-girlfriend’s story and found that Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. However, Ms. Jabbari’s legal team welcomed the verdict and expressed gratitude to the jurors and the Judge for their attention and patience, and to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office for their support.
Following the conviction, both Marvel and the Walt Disney Corporation terminated their association with Majors. He was on the verge of playing the villainous Kang the Conqueror in the latest spate of Marvel Cinematic Universe films. However, after being found guilty, Majors was dropped from multiple projects.
Majors’ sentencing has been postponed due to a slew of post-conviction motions filed by his attorneys, and there is uncertainty surrounding the new date for his sentencing. Media outlets are reporting that the new sentencing date could be as early as this month, and the case continues to attract intense media scrutiny.
In an interview, Majors mentioned that the domestic assault trial has created distance in his relationship with his 9-year-old daughter. Experts predict that once Majors is sentenced, he may not end up behind bars, particularly because he has no prior criminal convictions and the case is a misdemeanor.
The former Marvel star is also scheduled to appear in court for a motion filed by his attorneys, adding another layer of legal complexity to the case. The details of the motion have not been publicly disclosed, and the Manhattan DA’s Office has been reached out for comment.
The case continues to unfold, leaving both Majors and the public in suspense about the ultimate outcome. As the legal proceedings continue, the actor’s career and personal life hang in the balance, with no clear indication of how the situation will ultimately resolve.
