The jury determined Majors to be guilty of 3rd-degree assault, recklessly causing physical injury, and 2nd-degree harassment. However, he was found not guilty of 2nd-degree aggravated harassment and an additional 3rd-degree assault charge with the intent to cause physical harm.
The deliberations, which began at the Manhattan courthouse on Thursday, resumed on Friday afternoon. The charges against Majors stemmed from an incident on March 25, where he was accused of assaulting and harassing his then-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari, inside an SUV in Manhattan.

Jabbari testified that the altercation occurred when she discovered a text on Majors' phone from another woman expressing romantic feelings. In the struggle for the phone, Majors allegedly hit her in the back of the head, resulting in a fractured finger.
Prosecutors argued that Majors had been abusive for months leading up to the incident, while the defense contended that Jabbari was the instigator that night. Throughout the trial, Majors, known for his roles in "Creed III" and Marvel's "Ant-Man and the Wasp," attended court with his current girlfriend, Megan Good, but did not take the stand.
With the guilty verdict, Majors now faces a potential one-year prison sentence at the time of sentencing.
