The Harris County District Attorney's Office was presenting evidence and testimony to the grand jury from a Houston police investigation that began in April 2021 after a criminal complaint was filed.
Ten women have made criminal complaints against Watson to police, according to Tony Buzbee, the main attorney for the 22 women who sued. Eight of those 10 women are represented by Buzbee and they have been subpoenaed to testify before the grand jury on Friday, he said.At the same time the grand jury was meeting at the Harris County criminal courthouse in downtown Houston, Buzbee led the deposition of Watson about a half mile away at the offices of Hardin's law firm.
"My view is that if you did nothing wrong and are innocent, you should not be worried about incriminating yourself," Buzbee said."My clients didn't plead the Fifth. Instead, they courageously testified under oath about what Deshaun Watson did to them."
