At the end of the trial in December, jurors found him guilty of most of the charges but cleared him of assault causing intentional injury and aggravated harassment. Marvel Studios cut ties with Majors, who is due to be sentenced in February, when he faces up to a year in jail.
Majors claimed he was the victim in the incident, and Jabbari testified that the night of the attack, she drank so much she threw up.
She also accused him of slapping her head, twisting her arm and breaking her finger. Prosecutors revealed text messages from Majors dissuading Jabbari from going to the hospital for an earlier head injury.
Sam Haskell
Los Angeles police arrested Sam Haskell IV, the son of a Hollywood movie producer and beauty queen actress, in November after he allegedly threw his wife's headless torso in a dumpster and killed her parents, whose remains have not yet been found.
