Actor Jonathan Majors, once a promising and fast-rising Hollywood star, was found guilty on two out of four charges in a domestic violence criminal case in New York on Monday afternoon. He was found guilty on two counts — assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree — relating to an incident with his former girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. Each of the charges in which he was found guilty is considered a misdemeanor in New York.

In the mixed verdict, the jury found Majors innocent of intentional assault in the third degree and aggravated harassment in the second degree, essentially saying they did not believe Majors went into the situation intending to hurt Jabbari. In a statement Major's lawyer described him as both "grateful" and "disappointed."
