The question is whether the 22 women who filed lawsuits accusing Deshaun Watson of sexual misconduct should give their statements before he does.
HOUSTON, Texas -- Lawyers representing football star Deshaun Watson and his 22 accusers faced off again in court Monday afternoon.
Attorney Rusty Hardin, who is representing Watson, argued that his client is facing a criminal investigation. He said Watson should not be deposed in civil cases until that investigation is over. "I'm proud to report the court is at least going to allow nine depositions to proceed, depending on the lawyers' schedules," said Buzbee, seeming to declare victory.
After the judge handed down her decision, Hardin says it will be around 10 days before Watson would be available for any depositions because of Hardin's trial schedule. In addition, he would advise Watson to take the Fifth Amendment against self-incrimination until all criminal investigations are completed.
