Second Grand Jury Declines to Indict Watson
-
It's just a bigger and better legal form of the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. Somebody is getting fucked over for money and that somebody appears to be Watson.

Each failure to indict should be considered for the suspension that is sure to come.
If there end up (and hopefully the 'end' is now) being NO indictments........then on what grounds would the NFL suspend him? Bad publicity? He hasn't tried to physically hurt anyone in any way nor has he threatened anyone. I mean, can Roger just say, "I don't care what grand juries say, I think you did something so I'm suspending you!"

Knowing Roger, yes. He's been consistently inconsistent regarding player punishments and fines.

But will Busbee try to find a third Grand Jury? ? Like the above... Plaintiffs thought they were underpaid for the sex rubs, and along with their (Busbee) lawyer they want to get compensated big time.
Can't remember the exact details, but IIRC there were some pretty seedy goings on in Dallas strip clubs involving NFL players a while back.

Just a guess but I would think a Dallas strip club would be among the most likely establishments in which to discover seedy behavior.
Of course this is written from a defense position but regardless I don't really want to see anybody, even a player I don't want, railroaded.

Okay... So now the question is... When do we find out what happens to Watson concerning the season...

Before it's too late ?
Ooooops I think that that ship might have sailed and the SS CLEVELAND BROWNS ?? is on the hook for a ton of cash and bad PR well into this coming football season no matter what. Oh yeah and someone has to take the snaps or the ball will just fly back with no one there.
How did they get into this mess in the first place ?

The song La Grange is all about it, "they gotta lot a nice girls there."
And I can personally attest it was not shack, but a real house with many rooms and a quarter jukebox. LOL!??

I was on a grand jury for 5 months of my life. I saw the evidence for 100% of the cases completed by the prosecutors in that county in that period.
The question put before a grand jury is.. ASSUMING the evidence is true and accurate, should this case move forward?
Interesting. Being a lawyer, I will never be selected on a jury, grand or otherwise. Was that in the same Texas county? Did the prosecutor present any exculpatory evidence? Or just the evidence that they believe shows guilt?

Being a retired Police Officer and Detective, the grand jury process is exclusively presented by the prosecution and the there is no defense testimony. Usually the grand jury process is an easier way to get charges filed unlike a preliminary hearing where most evidence(witness testimony) is presented and the defense also presents their case and a judge decides. So that should tell you a lot.

I'm guessing sooner rather than later.
The Browns are playing the long game on DW, much like if they used a really high pick on a rookie QB (Hi Baker!). They are expecting DW to miss 8ish games this year and will pin those games on Jacoby in hopes they can come out on the other side at 4-4, where they then will ask DW to go 6-3 and see what 10-7 shakes out to be.
After next season they will be full strength and we'll all see what happens..... It's no different than the approach of drafting the best rookie QB, with the one major difference being that the Browns already know that DW can play at a high level in the NFL, whereas the #1 overall rookie QB is projected to be able to play at a high level in the NFL.... and we all know how far off projections can be. (Hi again Baker!)

I love that Deshaun isn't settling any of the civil cases. He's gonna fight em all and maintain his innocence. Quite frankly, the way the media is covering all of this is disgusting. Speaking as though he were guilty, and even when the second grand jury chose not to indict him. People were disappointed. This is all bizarre.

Yes, that was the entire point of my original post. Just how biased in favor of getting an indictment the whole process is. I was just confirming with Unsympathetic that his experience was consistent with that and that the prosecutor didn't say something like although these "victims" claim this assault, we also have this account where this "victim" said to a family member "I'm going to frame Deshaun." The prosecutor would be required to disclose such exculpatory evidence to the defendant in the actual criminal proceeding.

No different than other legal matters…When someone is arrested or a complaint is filed against someone…the snap judgement is…that certain someone did it.
Of course, The Media plays the role of spoon feeding a large segment of the population that can’t or will not do proper fact finding. But The media does the sloppy quick job of fact finding in haste to break stories.

Thank you Sweet Baby Jesus that I have no idea who either of these people are. Too bad I'm not in the vast majority.

The media prays at the alter of the court of public opinion. Since public opinion assumes guilt until proven innocent, anyone who defends DW will suffer. Suffering for the media means less clicks, less views, and less money. I have not seen a single person in the media reference Buzzbee's ties to McNair or even mention any of the inconsistencies in the prosecution's cases.

MeToo, I mean neither have I.

The media just wants to railroad another innocent man and "cancel" him.
Glad to see Watson wasn't indicted.

Yup. I'm sure the media is hoping there's grand jury hearing after hearing....so they can keep reporting on it.
In his press conference he said he'd never disrespected a woman. So, I expect that some disrespected woman will be coming forward very shortly. Perhaps 243 of them wanting a million each.

For those interested, here is documents from Watson's grand jury hearing:

I'm open to pursue a case against him if there's evidence to point in that direction, but from my own interpretation of facts presented, it seems like Watson is being railroaded by these women, and this seems to be a money grab.

Minor correction. That document is Watson's answer in one of the civil filings, not the grand jury.
