Jury Selection Begins in Stefon Diggs Assault Trial

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs is under jury selection today in a case that alleges he assaulted his private chef over a paycheck dispute.

Diggs pleaded not guilty at his Feb. 13 arraignment and faces felony strangulation or suffocation charges along with misdemeanor assault and battery. Prosecutors plan to call the chef and a police officer, while the defense will call witnesses present during the alleged incident. The trial is expected to last two to three days, with jury selection timing still pending. noplasticplease.life
