Jury seated in Diggs assault trial

A seven-member jury has been seated for the assault trial of former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who faces felony strangulation and misdemeanor battery charges.

A seven-member jury—comprising six women and one man—was selected at Dedham District Court for the trial of former Patriots star Stefon Diggs. The judge indicated the trial could last "two or three days."

Diggs, who pleaded not guilty, faces charges stemming from an alleged incident at his Dedham home on December 2, 2025, where prosecutors claim he strangled and assaulted his former private chef during a dispute over unpaid wages. The 32-year-old was released by the Patriots in March and is currently a free agent. extract-html.com
