Stefon Diggs acquitted of assault

Former New England Patriots wide receiver Stefon Diggs has been found not guilty of assault and strangulation charges following a trial in Massachusetts.

A jury acquitted the NFL star of allegations that he struck and choked his live-in personal chef during a pay dispute.

The trial featured conflicting accounts of the incident, and the jury deliberated for less than two hours before reaching a verdict.

While the acquittal clears his legal standing, Diggs could still face potential disciplinary review from the NFL under its personal conduct policy.
