Stefon Diggs, the former New England Patriots receiver, was found not guilty of assault and strangulation charges on Tuesday. The charges arose from a December 2 incident at his home in Dedham, Massachusetts, involving his former private chef, Jamila Adams. Adams testified that Diggs slapped and choked her during a dispute over financial matters and relationship tensions. However, Diggs' attorneys refuted these claims, arguing that the alleged assault never took place and highlighting inconsistencies in Adams' testimony. They pointed out that friends and employees noted she did not appear injured in the days following the incident. The jury ultimately sided with Diggs, who has denied the allegations and described them as financially motivated. Diggs, who was a key player for the Patriots, signed a lucrative three-year, $69 million contract last year and had a successful season, marking his seventh 1,000-yard season in his career.
