En dommerjury i Massachusetts har enstemmigt frifundet tidligere NFL-spiller og wide receiver Stefon Diggs for anklager om kvælning og vold mod sin tidligere samboer, Jamila "Mila" Adams. Retssagen, der fandt sted i Dedham District Court, blev afsluttet tirsdag efter blot to dages behandling.
Ifølge Associated Press havde juryen brugt omkring 90 minutter på at drøfte sagen, inden de kortvarigt vendte tilbage til retslokalet for at stille dommer Jeanmarie Carroll et spørgsmål. Herefter afsagde de enstemmig frifindelse på begge anklagepunkter.
Under retssagen vidnede Adams om, at Diggs havde slået og kvællet hende under et skænderi den 2. december sidste år. Diggs, som har erklæret sig ikke skyldig, var til stede i retten under kendelsen. Forsvareren, Andrew Kettlewell, argumenterede imidlertid i sin afsluttende procedure, at anklagemyndigheden ikke havde fremlagt et eneste troværdigt bevis for, at der var foregået nogen form for vold.
Forsvaret påpegede desuden, at Adams havde fremsat økonomiske krav, hvilket rejste tvivl om, hvorvidt konflikten drejede sig om vold eller penge.
"Der var ingen vold, ingen kvælning, ingen hændelse den dag eller nogen anden dag,"udtalte Kettlewell til AP.
