Key Points:
- A Massachusetts jury found free agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs not guilty of strangulation and assault and battery charges after about 90 minutes of deliberation.
- The trial, which lasted two days, involved testimony from Diggs’ former live-in chef, Jamila “Mila” Adams, who accused him of slapping and choking her during a December 2 argument.
- Defense attorney Andrew Kettlewell argued that prosecutors failed to provide credible evidence of an assault and suggested the dispute may have been motivated by financial demands.
- Adams declined to answer questions regarding financial demands made on her behalf during cross-examination.
- The verdict was read in Dedham District Court, where Diggs pleaded not guilty and was present for the outcome.
