The second day of the Stefon Diggs trial is underway, and all eyes are back on the witness stand. Jamila Adams, the former personal chef who accused the ex-New England Patriots wide receiver of assault and attempted strangulation, is returning to continue her testimony Tuesday morning in Dedham District Court. The defense is wasting no time challenging her story, as cross-examination picks up where it left off on a tense opening day.

Adams, who took the stand Monday as the prosecution's first witness, broke down while describing the alleged incident at Diggs' Dedham home on December 2, 2025. She claimed the altercation turned physical after a heated exchange of text messages over payments she said she was owed. According to Adams, Diggs began choking her during the confrontation. Diggs has pleaded not guilty to the charges and entered the courtroom Monday without speaking to reporters.

But the defense is pushing back hard. Attorneys for Diggs argue the assault never happened, and they've zeroed in on what they call key inconsistencies in Adams' account. For starters, they pointed out that Adams didn't take any photos of bruising or marks after the alleged attack. They also revealed that she didn't tell police about what they describe as an "intimate relationship" with Diggs. The defense further suggested that Adams was upset about being left out of a trip to Miami, implying that resentment may have fueled her allegations.

Boston legal analyst Elyse Hershon noted the defense's aggressive strategy. "They're highlighting why she might have a motive to lie," Hershon said. "She deleted text messages before going to the police and only showed an angry exchange with Diggs. That doesn't look good, and the defense will use that to argue you can't trust her—that she lied and was just after money."

As the trial continues, the courtroom drama is far from over. With testimony expected to wrap up in the next day or two, the stakes couldn't be higher for both sides. For now, all attention remains on Adams as she faces another round of questioning under the defense's microscope.
