When asked about the origin of his ex-girlfriend’s injuries, Majors responded, “I wish to God I knew. That would give clarity.”
The jury found Majors guilty on two of the four counts, specifically misdemeanor assault and harassment. Simultaneously, he was acquitted of two other charges, including third-degree intentional assault and second-degree aggravated harassment. The actor’s perplexity regarding the verdict underscores the ongoing complexity of the case and its implications on his personal and professional life.
