Jury Selected in Diggs Assault Trial

The trial, expected to last "two or three days," comes after Diggs was charged with felony strangulation or suffocation and misdemeanor assault and battery.

Diggs, released by the Patriots in March and currently a free agent, faces allegations that he struck the woman in the face, placed her in a chokehold, and threw her onto a bed. During a pretrial hearing, defense attorneys successfully objected to any reference to a prior bad act by the alleged victim.
