Shortly after DIsney fired Jonathan Majors once the guilty verdict dropped, the actor's lawyer has given his official statement.
via JJ:
The 34-year-old actor was convicted of one count of assault and one count of harassment, and was acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment in a split verdict on Monday (December 18) in his domestic abuse case.
He will be sentenced on February 6, 2024.
His attorney, Priya Chaudhry, spoke out in a statement, via The Wrap.
“It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that.”
“We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him. Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these harrowing eight months.”
“Mr. Majors still has faith in the process and looks forward to fully clearing his name,” the lawyer concluded.
The criminal misdemeanor charges could carry a penalty of up to a year in jail, although probation and community service are common sentences in cases of this nature, via The Wrap.
Jonathan has been fired from Disney/Marvel since the guilty verdicts were announced.
As I have said numerous times on my Kris Avalon Unfiltered podcast, Jonathan and Grace were both a mess and toxic for each other. I'm also not here for these typical black men like Jonathan that run after these Nordic women, but when these same black men end up getting Emmet Till-ed by them they come running back to black puss once they hit their rock bottom.
I'm still not buying his relationship with Megan Good, and as actors, him playing up being this saved religious man that read the bible all day every day felt inauthentic.
So while he needs to work on his attitude as a man off camera, I hope his career recovers and that he can channel all that emotions into his work as an actor.
