Stefon Diggs’ personal chef assault trial reaches verdict

The jury has now decided that National Football League player is not guilty in a Massachusetts courtroom, and the rejected the felony strangulation and assault allegations that plagued the defendant and acquitted him on all counts after less than two hours of deliberation.

After the verdict, Diggs’ attorney Mitchell Shuster stated “Domestic violence is a very, very serious issue in this country and it’s disconcerting when people use it as a sword and manufacture claims in an attempt to extract money.”

“I believe the jury saw through that today and we are very, very pleased with this result. This has impacted him both personally and professionally. … He’s a human being,” the lawyer added.

Notably, the New England Patriots receiver was released from the in March as the case unraveld and has yet to be signed with another team.
