I agree. Whether he gets found guilty or not is another story. But I think he will get indicted and go to trial. I also think it is very possible Watson never plays another down of football in the NFL.
I would love to hear what @wrench248 has to say about this. He/she truly seems to be the smartest person in the room on this deal. Knows the legal system and the players involved in this even better than I do and that’s saying something. lol
And there you go again, insinuating that someone that does home massage are really something else.
Massage therapy for the most part is legit treatment for many injuries.
Here in California you can even get it for work Comp claims.
He may very well be indicted down the road. However, I would imagine Kim Ogg (the District Attorney in Harris County) and the Houston Police Department will want to look at what Buzbee has and conduct their own investigation. I doubt Kim Ogg is going to exclusively rely on anything Buzbee says (Buzbee had his own scandal a few years ago regarding a DWI charge he had that got dismissed by the previous District Attorney, Devon Anderson).
Similar to what I wrote earlier, all that has been filed are pieces of paper that claims Watson did xy and z and seeks damages. Any potential charges could be a long way from now and the civil suit may be resolved by then. If there is a settlement, I would expect a confidentiality agreement. If Watson is charged, it will be a shit show and I feel sorry for whichever district court judge gets assigned the case.
And you're too kind. Just a lawyer who has practiced criminal/civil defense in Harris County for a number of years.

so you are saying it is their fault? interesting.
Thank you for the insight. I figured that’s what you would think. I also agree whichever court gets this will hate getting it. I can’t imagine a more theatrical case. There are quite a few newly elected baby judges as well. The only way it would be more dramatic would be if Kelly Siegler was the prosecutor, which she would not be. I do think the HCDAO won’t back away from a prosecution should there be any PC to charge. But it will be a media circus I would imagine.
You don’t think a Grand Jury hears this within 90 days?
Anything is possible but I think given who the potential defendant is, they will take their time. The last thing Ogg needs is for another high profile prosecution to fall apart on her like the trial regarding the Arkema Explosion case (A directed verdict was granted in favor of the Defendants).
That’s very true.
Can you please dispel the in my opinion false opinion by some non legal types that any video or recording that may exist in this case is not admissible in court if it was taken without Watsons permission. I am pretty sure Texas is a one party consent state and as long as one of the parties knows if doesn’t matter if the other does or not in most situations. There are people saying even if a crime were committed by Watson and the woman taped it but without Watsons consent it couldn’t be used in court. I am fairly certain it can be and would be admitted into evidence.
he said penal.......lol
you said “for the most part” so you and I agree. There are some that make it shady.
The oiled anus part if true is what creeps me out. Even if he survives this he won’t live down asking to have his anus oiled. lol.
No that’s not what I’m saying. If you’ll read you’ll see the context was in response to a biased statement. Just trying to provide some insight to the bias.
Audio recording is one party consent and person has to know it is being recorded. See Texas Penal Code 16.02. Regarding a video, that is not necessarily always the case and it does depend on the circumstances from what I remember (person in public place, for example). There are several ways video recording is illegal. See Texas Penal Code 21.15, 21.16, for example. Basically, video isn't always as easy. Even if the video recording is legal, the proper predicate would have be laid during any trial on the merits for it to be admissible.
Exactly.
Tony Buzbee to submit evidence to HPD, Harris Co. District Attorney in Texans’ Deshaun Watson case

About to get very real now. I don’t think Tony Buzbee would be submitting
“Evidence” to the HPD and the Harris County DA and asking for a Grand Jury unless he has more than we know. It could only be bad for him and his clients if it’s nothing.
@wrench248 Would you agree? Bold move. Has to have something right?

The fact that all of this came out now is suspect. I believe if Watson did it he would have just paid the settlement and it goes away and let the public believe what they believe. A 6 figure payout is nothing to him. His mistake was being alone with the masseuse and no legal documentation to protect himself. For the record I am against mistreatment of women but she went back if I'm not mistaken. What's far out there is all of these women said NOTHING until now.
Probably gonna have to change the title of the thread to “Deshaun Watson wants out of jail”
If he goes to jail, plenty of dudes will be happy to check his oil.
