""It's definitely an open case, so I can't even say anything about it," Diggs said Friday in his first remarks since the charges became public. Diggs, who called it a "very emotional time" and noted he was "taken back by some things that's been going on," said he would answer any football-related questions as the Patriots prepare for their regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins on Sunday, which he did."
"Diggs is facing a felony charge of strangulation and a misdemeanor charge of assault from an alleged incident on Dec. 2 in which a woman says the wide receiver entered her unlocked bedroom and smacked her across the face after they had discussed money owed to her, according to a police report. She had told police she was working as a private chef on the date of the incident."
"Meanwhile, in his first public comments since facing a misdemeanor charge of assault and battery on a household/family member relating to an alleged incident Aug. 8, defensive tackle Christian Barmore similarly deflected. "I'm focused on Miami and playing football," Barmore said, repeating those remarks, or a variation of them, multiple times. According to charging documents obtained by ABC, Barmore allegedly threw a woman to the floor and grabbed her by the shirt "in the area of the neck" during an argument."
Stefon Diggs declined to discuss criminal charges in his first public remarks, saying the case is open and he cannot comment. He called the period a "very emotional time" and said he was "taken back by some things that's been going on," but answered football questions ahead of the Patriots' regular-season finale against the Miami Dolphins. Diggs faces a felony strangulation charge and a misdemeanor assault charge from an alleged Dec. 2 incident in which a woman said he entered her unlocked bedroom and struck her; she had been working as a private chef. Christian Barmore also declined to address his misdemeanor assault charge, saying, "I'm focused on Miami and playing football." Attorney David Meier released statements denying the charges for both players.
