In a courtroom verdict that drew national attention, former Maryland football star Stefon Diggs was found not guilty on charges of felony strangulation and misdemeanor assault and battery this Tuesday. The two-day trial centered on allegations made by his personal chef, Jamila "Mila" Adams, who claimed Diggs slapped and choked her during a payment dispute at his Massachusetts home last December. Diggs had pleaded not guilty during an April hearing.

The defense presented video evidence and witness statements that contradicted Adams' testimony, leading Judge Jeanmarie Carroll to reprimand Adams for her courtroom conduct. An emotional Diggs was seen tearing up after the verdict was read.

Diggs, who wore No. 1 for the Terrapins from 2012 to 2014, remains one of Maryland's most decorated receivers. He racked up 14 touchdowns and averaged 14.8 yards per catch during his college career, with his 2,227 receiving yards ranking second all-time in program history. That production earned him All-Big Ten second-team honors in 2014 and put him on the NFL radar.

The Minnesota Vikings selected Diggs in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft, launching a pro career that has included stints with the Buffalo Bills, Houston Texans, and most recently the New England Patriots. After a productive one-season run in New England, the wide receiver is now a free agent.
