Jury Selection Begins for Ex-Patriots Receiver Stefon Diggs

Former Patriots receiver Stefon Diggs is under jury selection in Dedham, Massachusetts, after pleading not guilty to assault charges stemming from a December incident with his private chef.

Diggs, who was released by the Patriots in March, pleaded not guilty at his February arraignment on charges of strangulation or suffocation, and misdemeanor assault and battery. Prosecutors plan to call the chef and a police officer, while the defense will call witnesses present at the house. The case is expected to last two to three days. mwafrika.life
