Watson case's grand jury to hear evidence Friday
A grand jury will hear evidence on Friday in the case involving Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, the same day the NFL veteran will also face questions for the first time in at least some of his pending civil lawsuits.
Grand jury will hear evidence on Friday in case involving Houston Texans QB Deshaun Watson
A grand jury will hear evidence Friday in the case involving Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson, the same day he also will face questions for the first time in at least some of his pending civil lawsuits.
Watson's attorney Rusty Hardin confirmed the timing of the criminal and civil proceedings to ESPN and added he'll instruct Watson to assert his Fifth Amendment right to not incriminate himself during his testimony in the civil case Friday, given that he could be criminally charged that same day.
"I'm not going to let him answer questions from anybody before that grand jury has made its decision. There's not a lawyer in the country that would," Hardin told ESPN on Tuesday night.
The New York Times first reported Tuesday that several of the women who have filed criminal complaints against Watson have been subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury Friday.
The grand jury process does not require a unanimous vote. If nine of the 12 grand jurors return what's known as a "true bill" under Texas law, Harris County, Texas, District Attorney Kim Ogg could then opt to proceed with a criminal case against Watson, Hardin said.
The district attorney's office has declined to comment on the case.
The 22 civil cases filed against Watson accuse him of a range of actions during massage appointments, from touching women with his genitals to forced oral sex.
While a decision on criminal charges could come as early as Friday, Watson will face several days of depositions in the 22 pending civil cases, as each of the plaintiff's in those cases can question him for up to two hours, Hardin said.
"Once the grand jury process is concluded we intend for him to start answering questions in depositions," Hardin said.
Watson continues to be the source of NFL trade rumors despite his legal troubles. He did not play all season for the Texans but remained on the active roster.
And the Jets will sit back and watch everyone else get better. Watson should become a Steeler. That fanbase is racist as fuck but is proven to support their rapist. See Ben.
Steelers all about it.
Nigga I'd play on the moon for $230 million
Your point might be the truest of all.
They were coming whether he got the deal or not.
CIVIL is where they usually get you when the criminal charges get dismissed.

A grand jury in Brazoria County in Texas is considering evidence related to a 10th accusation of sexual misconduct against Deshaun Watson, the former Houston Texans quarterback who was traded to the Cleveland Browns just days ago, according to a lawyer for the complainant.
A grand jury in Harris County, Texas, where Houston is, rejected nine criminal cases against Watson earlier this month. But a 10th criminal complaint filed with the Houston Police Department described an alleged incident outside the jurisdiction of the Harris County District Attorney’s Office.
The case, in Brazoria County, south of Houston, is the last known criminal case pending against Watson. The complainant told police that Watson ejaculated on her in a November 2020 massage appointment. Her lawyer, Tony Buzbee, said he expects the grand jury to deliberate and issue a decision on Thursday or Friday. Neither the Browns nor Rusty Hardin, Watson’s lawyer, were immediately available for comment.
The latest grand jury proceeding was first reported by Fox 8 WJW in Cleveland.
The publicly available police report was heavily redacted but said that the complainant told police that Watson “touched her with his penis and ejaculated causing semen to touch her arm and hand.”
The complainant, whose name was redacted in the criminal complaint, is one of the 22 plaintiffs who are suing Watson in civil court for sexual misconduct during massage appointments.
Watson has denied all wrongdoing, and Hardin has said that any sexual acts that occurred during massage appointments were consensual.
After the grand jury in Harris County declined to bring charges on March 11, Hardin said in a statement that “the criminal investigations have been completed.” N.F.L. teams viewed the decision in Harris County as a green light to pursue Watson via trade, and the Browns gave Watson a guaranteed five-year, $230 million contract, a record for a guaranteed deal. The structure of the deal — with a 2022 base salary of only about $1 million — would mitigate Watson’s financial penalty for missing games if the N.F.L. suspends him for a violation of its personal-conduct policy.
The Browns said in a statement on Sunday that they undertook a “comprehensive evaluation process” before trading for Watson and did “extensive” investigative, legal and reference work. The statement acknowledged that “some legal proceedings” were still ongoing, but it was unclear whether the Browns were aware that a case would be brought before the Brazoria County grand jury this week.
The N.F.L.’s investigation into the allegations against Watson is ongoing. A person who identified himself as a security representative for the N.F.L. requested information from the Houston Police Department on March 15, including witness statements and phone records or social-media messages, and also asked for interviews with the police investigators who worked the case, according to police records.
Watson invoked his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in civil depositions given before the decision by the Harris County grand jury, but waived that right and answered questions under oath in depositions last week and this week, Buzbee said.
Before the deal with the Browns, Watson also met with the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and New Orleans Saints last week
