Key Points:
- The second day of the Stefon Diggs trial focused on the continuation of cross-examination of the alleged victim, Mila Adams, who was repeatedly evasive in her answers.
- Judge Jeanmarie Carroll warned Adams to answer only the questions asked, emphasizing that failure to comply could result in her entire testimony being struck from the record.
- During questioning about a $5.5 million settlement demand, Adams attempted to invoke attorney-client privilege incorrectly, putting her testimony at risk of being stricken.
- Diggs’s lawyer ended the cross-examination before further issues arose, and Adams completed redirect and re-cross without her testimony being removed, which was crucial to the prosecution’s case.
- The trial’s outcome hinges on whether the jury believes Adams’s account of the alleged assault, which will be influenced by the remaining evidence, closing arguments, and jury deliberations.
