The criminal trial of former NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs begins with sharply conflicting testimony. According to reports, the woman who lived with Diggs and works as his live-in chef takes the stand on the first day and says Diggs assaulted her during an incident at his home. She testifies that, during a dispute, Diggs slapped and choked her. Diggs denies the allegations, and his attorney tells jurors that the claimed attack never happened.
Both outlets describe the same early-stage proceedings: the case centers on claims made by the chef and the defense’s denial of those claims. The defense presents its position directly at the outset, framing the accusation as false. The reports do not indicate a verdict or additional evidence presented during these initial steps, but they characterize the opening day as focused on contrasting accounts from the accuser and the defense’s denial. The trial is ongoing as jurors hear initial testimony.
