It hasn’t been a great week at all for Jonathan Majors, though there is some good news to come in for the embattled actor.Following domestic violence allegations that were made public in March, Majors was ultimately found guilty by a jury for third-degree reckless assault as well as second-degree harassment. Potentially, he could be sent to jail for one year, and he’ll be formally sentenced on Feb. 6, 2024. However, per THR, attorneys have chimed in to suggest that it’s very unlikely Majors will actually serve any time behind bars. They’ve also noted how text messages used as evidence in the case may assist Majors’ legal team with an appeal. That may be the silver lining for Majors, who was fired by Marvel Studios for his role as Kang as a direct result of the guilty verdict.London also said that it’s “extremely rare” for a misdemeanor case in New York to go to trial. Typically, defendants will often accept plea deals to avoid going to trial and risking a harsher sentence. It’s not clear if there were any discussions about a plea deal in this case, though none were added to the court record according to the district attorney. It’s theorized by legal experts that Majors’ fame played the biggest role in why this particular case went to trial, perhaps with the actor hoping to clear his name in a very public way after his career had already been rocked by the allegations in March.
