Regardless of being found guilty, Jonathan Majors "looks forward to fully clearing his name."

Jonathan Majors' attorney, Priya Chaudhry, has spoken out following the actor's guilty verdict in his trial regarding the assault of his ex-girlfriend, Grace Jabbari. A New York jury found him guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment on Monday. Chaudhry says that Majors will continue to trust the legal process and "looks forward to fully clearing his name."

She began in her statement to NBC News: "It is clear that the jury did not believe Grace Jabbari’s story of what happened in the SUV because they found that Mr. Majors did not intentionally cause any injuries to her. We are grateful for that. We are disappointed, however, that despite not believing Ms. Jabbari, the jury nevertheless found that Mr. Majors was somehow reckless while she was attacking him."
