In his first interview since a jury found him guilty of assaulting and harassing his ex-girlfriend, Jonathan Majors said he was "shocked and afraid" upon hearing the verdict.
"I'm standing there and the verdict comes down. I say, 'How is that possible based off the evidence, based off the prosecution's evidence, let alone our evidence? How is that possible?" the actor told ABC News Live's Linsey Davis in an exclusive sit-down interview a month after his conviction.
Majors was found guilty of one count of misdemeanor third-degree assault and one count of second-degree harassment, but acquitted of two other counts of assault and aggravated harassment in a split verdict. He told Davis he plans to appeal.
As he awaits sentencing on the misdemeanor charges, Majors, who declined to testify in his defense during the trial, said he wanted to give his side of the story now "as part of healing."
Watch clips from the interview on "Good Morning America," airing Monday at 7 a.m. ET, and an extended interview on ABC News Live's "Prime with Linsey Davis," airing Monday at 7 p.m. ET.
