Quote:For the second time in two weeks, a grand jury in Texas is going to hear evidence in a case involving Deshaun Watson to determine if the Browns quarterback should be indicted for any crimes relating to the 22 sexual misconduct lawsuits he's facing.
The first grand jury convened in Harris County on March 11 and didn't return an indictment. According to Fox 8 in Houston, the second grand jury meeting will be taking place in a different Texas county. The New York Times has reported that the exact location is Brazoria County, which is just south of Houston.
Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, has confirmed that his camp is aware of the latest development in the case. Watson is facing 22 different civil lawsuits that all allege sexual misconduct, and according to Hardin, the second grand jury will be hearing evidence based on one of those 22 cases.
"It's not a new complaint," Hardin told Fox 8.
According to Hardin, the prosecution in Brazoria County wanted to let the grand jury deliberations in Harris County finish before they moved forward with their own grand jury. The second grand jury is expected to render a decision either Thursday or Friday, according to Tony Buzbee, who represents the complainant.
