I remember two weeks ago after the grand jury took up the nine
criminal complaints at some point. I either read or heard,
or saw that, there were 10 at one point, but one just kind of
went away.
I think that's what somebody told me like. Yeah, just one
didn't show up or something like that. Nobody said, oh, one
of them was deemed to be not within the jurisdiction of
Harris County and it needed to be handled by a prosecutor in
another.
Auntie this thing was just boom dropped out of the sky today
and it stunned me.
And I'm told that the Browns were aware of it when they traded
for Deshaun Watson. It obviously worked out,
they heard the complaint today. They decided not
to indict on that
one additional criminal complaint
that was carved out of the Harris County grand jury
process 13 days ago. It's just strange that if somebody knew
that this was happening,
if somebody knew that this was
Circulating, why didn't we hear about it before today? So
there's the statement from
the Brazoria County DA, after a careful and thorough review of
the facts and evidence documenting. The reports yada
yada yada as well as hearing testimony from
Witnesses. The grand jury has declined to charge DeShaun
Watson with any crimes. That is what Tom Selleck the Brazoria
County district. Attorney, Moonlighting. Tom Selleck is in
a statement. He's got three jobs now. He acts, he sells
reverse mortgages and he is
the district attorney for Brazoria County. This is very
impressive, renaissance, man is Tom Selleck. So, the matter is
closed,
now, looks rain. Let me say this again.
A prosecutor can indict a ham sandwich?
If he wants to and a prosecutor also cannot indict a ham
sandwich. If he wants to, there's a lot of leeway.
There's a lot of Leverage. And if somebody really wanted to
indict DeShaun Watson,
they could have done it.
And you know what it comes down to?
Do you think you can win the case at trial? Do you think you
can prove guilt Beyond, A Reasonable Doubt? And I think
that's been the problem with all of these cases. Number one.
Is that even a crime number?
If it is a crime,
can I prove Beyond a reasonable doubt that a crime occurred?
Well, Rusty Harden, the attorney for Deshaun Watson
said on March 11th after Harris County grand, jury decided not
to indict him that the criminal investigation
investigations have been completed. They obviously
weren't, because then we had this one happen and my I know
they can refile. But do you see this now as unless, something
else comes up that the criminal investigations have
been completed barring. Further Evidence barring a new
Case.
Well, it would require a new
prosecutor in either County
and the new prosecutor would have to want to take up
the fight and and the statute limitations
would have to have not run. So I think at the state level it's
unlikely the feds the one thing to remember their and Tony
Busby represents a 22 women who are suing
DeShaun Watson a year or so ago when this all got started, he
Tried to instigate talk of federal charges for bringing
people across state lines for a list of illicit, sexual
purposes. And there was talk at one point about the FBI
investigating and looking into it and it was downplayed. It
never went anywhere, but
the feds don't tell you, they don't Telegraph their moves.
They just do it. So that's still possibly out there.
But it looks like the Browns did what they think is enough
to come to a confident, conclusion,
that nothing further is going to happen.
And if they're wrong,
somebody's getting fired. If they're wrong. Yeah, somebody
should not have a job because somebody gave Jimmy Haslam
a pretty positive report
about the Sean Watson's
legal fortunes. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gotten a gigantic
Fortune, a literal, Fortune 230 million, fully guaranteed.
So that agreement in and of itself to pay DeShaun, Watson
tells me that the Browns are comfortable
with Is going to go
and if they're wrong,
there's somebody who has a job
insecurity with the Browns. You shouldn't have that job. Sheree.
Well in my they are bracing, I'm sure for a suspension and
for all those Browns fans. I've seen on Twitter who say, no.
I served a
suspension last year. That wasn't a suspension.
He was on the active roster. Now they made him inactive for
every game, but that's not suspension. He was paid his ten
million dollars.
I believe he will be suspended Ben Roethlisberger and Ezekiel
Elliott similar situations. They both got originally six
games each. I think he will be
be suspended, Mike and I think they are probably bracing for
that. How quickly do you think the NFL will decide on what his
suspension will be?
