Начался судебный процесс над игроком НФЛ Стефоном Диггсом по обвинению в нападении
В окружном суде Норфолка начался судебный процесс над игроком НФЛ Стефоном Диггсом. Спортсмену предъявлены обвинения в совершении тяжкого преступления (удушение) и нападении, которые произошли в декабре прошлого года. По версии обвинения, Диггс напал на свою помощницу Милу Адамс, ударив её по лицу и применив удушающий прием.В своем показании Адамс заявила, что после словесной перепалки она попыталась преградить путь Диггсу в спальню, после чего он обхватил её шею локтем, затруднив дыхание, и повалил на кровать. По словам обвинения, их отношения носили дружеский и сексуальный характер до того, как Адамс начала работать у игрока.Адвокат Диггса, Эндрю Кетлвелл, настаивает на невиновности своего подзащитного, утверждая, что инцидент не имел места. Защита указывает на отсутствие прямых доказательств: нет ни свидетелей происшествия, ни медицинских записей, ни фото- или видеоматериалов. Вместо нападения адвокат описывает наличие финансового спора между сторонами, возникшего из-за долга Диггса перед Адамс.Прокурор Норфолка Дрю Вирту подчеркнул, что задача присяжных — установить истинную версию событий декабря. Сам 32-летний Диггс не стал давать комментариев журналистам по прибытии в суд. На данный момент НФЛ следит за ходом процесса на предмет возможного нарушения политики поведения игроков.
Stefon Diggs felony strangulation trial begins with NFL receiver denying everything
Sometimes there are multiple versions of the same event, but in the trial of NFL wide receiver Stefon Diggs that began on Monday, it's apparent someone simply isn't telling the truth.That's because while the state is prosecuting Diggs on charges of felony strangulation and a misdemeanor assault and battery stemming from the December incident in which Diggs allegedly attacked his female live-in chef Mila Adams by slapping her and putting her in a headlock, the attorney for Diggs has a vastly different version of the events.As in, the attack never happened."The assault that the Commonwealth described in their opening statement never happened," said attorney Andrew Kettlewell, who is representing Diggs. "It did not happen."CLICK HERE FOR MORE OUTKICK SPORTS COVERAGEDiggs, an unrestricted free agent who was playing for the New England Patriots at the time of the alleged assault, pleaded not guilty to all charges.Norfolk Assistant District Attorney Drew Virtue said Adams would testify how Diggs had entered her bedroom, slapped her and put her in a headlock that made breathing difficult before throwing her on the bed, and that is what she did.Adams testified she blocked the door to prevent Diggs from entering her room after a verbal argument and then things got worse.PATRIOTS STARS FACING CRIMINAL ALLEGATIONS DECLINE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS FROM REPORTERS ABOUT LEGAL TROUBLES"When I went up to push his, like block him, he took his arm and came around my neck with his elbow around my neck and began to choke me, put pressure on my neck," Adams testified.Adams requested a moment to compose herself during her testimony as her eyes watered.Adams also testified her relationship with Diggs "started out as friends" but "became sexual" before they both decided she would begin to work for Diggs in February of 2025.A few hours after the alleged attack, Adams testified she gave Diggs a birthday gift.Kettlewell, meanwhile, said that no one in the house at the time of the alleged attack saw or heard anything. He said there is no evidence of an attack taking place. He said there are no medical records nor photos or video evidence of the attack.Kettlewell instead described a simmering monetary dispute between Adams and Diggs that came to a boil when Adams learned she would not be part of a trip the wideout was planning to Miami.Adams did tell police arriving on scene that Diggs owed her money for her work.So whose version of events is correct?"It's your job to determine what happened on Dec. 2," Virtue told the jury in his opening statement.Diggs, 32, declined to speak to reporters as he arrived at Norfolk County District Court in Dedham, a Boston suburb, per the Associated Press.Diggs last season enjoyed his seventh 1,000-yard receiving season in the last eight years as he helped the Patriots reach the Super Bowl. He was released in March as the team got out from under his $26.5 million scheduled salary cap cost for 2026.But despite his availability and proven history of production, no other team has stepped forward with serious interest in Diggs -- in part, no doubt, because everyone is awaiting the verdict from the current trial.The NFL is monitoring the trial before making any decision about Diggs and a possible violation of the Personal Conduct Policy.FOLLOW ARMANDO SALGUERO ON X: @ARMANDOSALGUERO

How US tech hegemony is locking out the Global South
— In global discourse, a script has been handed to us: the United States and China are locked in a “tech race”. But this is really a misnomer. True competition requires a level playing field. When one runner trips the other to ensure victory, it’s not a competition; it’s cheating.So, when Washington deploys an arsenal of sanctions, export controls and diplomatic strong-arming to hamstring China’s technological ascent, it is not competing. It is an act of suppression.This reflects a deliberate...
