The trial of former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs resumes Tuesday morning in Dedham District Court, with the alleged victim set to face continued cross-examination after more than three hours of testimony on Monday.

Diggs, 32, is charged with strangulation or suffocation—a felony—along with a misdemeanor count of assault and battery. The charges stem from an incident on December 2, when prosecutors allege Diggs struck a woman working as his private chef across the face and wrapped his arm around her neck from behind, choking her. The woman reported the incident on December 16. Diggs' defense team maintains the incident never occurred.

Judge Jeanmarie Carroll is presiding over the trial, which features a jury of six women and one man. Assistant Norfolk District Attorney Drew Virtue is prosecuting, while attorneys Andrew Kettlewell and Sara Silva represent Diggs.

As the courtroom drama unfolds, the case has drawn significant attention given Diggs' NFL career. The wide receiver spent time with the Patriots during the 2024 season after stints with the Buffalo Bills and Minnesota Vikings, where he established himself as one of the league's top pass-catchers.

Testimony is expected to resume at 9 a.m. Tuesday, with the accuser returning to the stand for further questioning. The outcome of this trial could have lasting implications for Diggs' football future, as legal matters of this nature often impact player availability and team decisions during the offseason.
