Stefon Diggs decides not to testify in criminal case
Key Points:
- Stefon Diggs, a free-agent receiver, is on trial facing felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault charges, choosing not to testify in his defense.
- The prosecution must prove Diggs's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt, while the defense highlights the lack of physical evidence and inconsistent behavior from the alleged victim, Mila Adams.
- Adams provided a compelling account of the alleged assault, but no injuries were documented, and witness testimonies questioned her post-incident conduct.
- Diggs’s attorneys argued during closing that Adams’s claims lacked credibility, challenging the prosecution’s case.
- The judge has completed legal instructions to the jury, who are now deliberating to reach a verdict.
