Jury Selection Begins for Stefon Diggs Trial

The trial of former Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs starts today with jury selection scheduled for May 4, after he pleaded not guilty to assault charges.

The trial of former Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs began with jury selection on May 4 in Dedham District Court. Diggs, who was released by the Patriots in March, pleaded not guilty to felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges stemming from a December incident involving his private chef.

Prosecutors plan to call the chef and a police officer, while the defense will call witnesses present during the alleged assault. The case is expected to last two to three days. ipl-cricket.in
