The trial of Stefon Diggs, a four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver, commenced on Monday in Norfolk County District Court in Dedham, Massachusetts. He faces serious charges of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault related to an incident involving his private chef, Mila Adams. Prosecutor Drew Virtue described how Adams claims Diggs slapped her, put her in a headlock, and threw her on a bed during an argument over money owed. In contrast, Diggs' attorney, Andrew Kettlewell, maintained that the assault never occurred, emphasizing the lack of evidence such as medical records or video documentation. Kettlewell suggested that Adams had ulterior motives, alleging she increased her financial demands following the incident. Diggs, who recently completed a successful season with the Patriots, has yet to sign with another team after being released in March. The trial is set to examine the events of December 2, when the alleged attack took place.
