Jury Selection Begins for Former Patriots Receiver Stefon Diggs

Former Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs is beginning jury selection today in a case alleging he assaulted a private chef over a paycheck dispute.

Stefon Diggs, 32, pleaded not guilty at his arraignment on February 13 and is now facing a jury selection process that is expected to last two to three days. Prosecutors plan to call the chef and a police officer, while the defense will call witnesses who were inside the house during the alleged assault. The case stems from a December incident in Dedham where the chef claimed Diggs strangled her over a missed paycheck. Diggs has denied the charges and his attorney says the evidence will exonerate him. truewildslot.com
