follow Hollywood Reporter, Majors could still avoid prison despite being convicted in his domestic violence trial. The actor was arrested in March following an incident with his then-girlfriend Grace Jabbari, which led to the charges against him at the time.
Majors was ultimately found guilty of two of the four charges: reckless assault in the third degree and harassment in the second degree, which carry a maximum sentence of one year in prison. However, it is believed his lack of previous criminal convictions could sway the judge not to throw the book at him when he is sentenced on February 6.
“Since it is the defendant’s first conviction, even though he technically faces one year in prison, the judge will 99 percent give him three years of probation, anger management, and maybe some community service. Mr. Majors got no jail time,” Manhattan-based criminal defense attorney Cary London told the publication.

Despite the possibility of a reduced sentence for Majors, his previous clean record violation resulting from the guilty verdict may prompt him to consider filing an appeal.
It came after Major’s lawyers slammed the verdict, saying they were “disappointed” because they thought they had done enough to persuade jurors that their client was innocent.
“Mr. Majors is grateful to God, his family, his friends, and his fans for their love and support during these eight painful months,” Majors’ lead attorney, Priya Chaudhry, said in a statement after the trail closure, per Deadline.
He added, “Mr. Majors still believes in the process and hopes to clear his name completely.”
As reported by Hollywood ReporterMajors’ defense team may file an appeal based on textual evidence not directly related to the case introduced because of the Molineux decision that was overturned during the court hearing.
A source told the publication, “Obviously, things like this can sound really bad to a jury, and Majors probably thinks the jury shouldn’t hear about them, especially since they don’t specifically discuss the assault he’s on trial for.”

Majors’ career has already been affected by the trial, with the latest setback being his removal from the Marvel project.

However, following his conviction, Marvel cut ties with the actor, most likely distancing themselves from the potential negative impact of his legal troubles on their public image and future projects.

He was dropped from the film adaptation of Walter Mosley’s 2004 novel “The Man in My Basement.” Negotiations for his role in a biopic about the late musician Otis Redding also fell through, and he was dropped from an ad campaign for MLB’s Texas Rangers team.
