Jury Selected for Stefon Diggs Assault Trial

A jury has been seated in the assault trial of former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who faces felony strangulation charges.

The seven jurors—six women and one man—were selected at Dedham District Court for a trial that the judge says could last 'two or three days.' Diggs has pleaded not guilty to charges of felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery related to an incident at his Dedham home on Dec. 2, 2025. betsport.cv

Prosecutors allege the altercation occurred during a dispute over unpaid wages, with the woman claiming Diggs struck her in the face, placed her in a chokehold, and threw her onto a bed. Text messages showing arguments over money have been obtained by Boston 25 News. During a pretrial hearing, the judge ruled that reference to a 'prior bad act' would be excluded unless prosecutors provide additional detail.
