section122 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) He will be on the Panthers by the start of the new league year.

Beast Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) 8 minutes ago, DapperCam said: I thought that you could indict a ham sandwich? A District Attorney's Office will also present a case to a Grand Jury to be able to say, "there wasn't enough evidence" to indict. This is why there wasn't an arrest to begin with. Both the Police and the DA's Office probably felt it was suspect to begin with but it became a high profile case. Nobody (police, DA's Office) wanted egg on their face when it shook out but they are off the hook and did their due diligence.

msw2112 Posted March 11, 2022 Share Posted March 11, 2022 (edited) This is an interesting development. I was tending to believe that the allegations were true, but when virtually all of the alleged vicitims were represented by the same attorney, I started having some doubts. It certainly has the looks of a money grab, as all of the cases are likely on a contingency-fee basis, which would mean that the plaintiff's lawyer would get a certain percentage of all moneys recovered either at trial or in settlements (often in the 30% - 33% range). Perhaps Watson engaged in some unsavory behavior, but the lawyer trumped up the allegations and "found" numerous victims to increase the potential value of recovery. On the criminal side, there is no financial gain for anyone. And while criminal cases are much harder to prove at trial (higher standard of proof), the standard of proof to get a grand jury indictment isn't that high. Thus, if there is no indictment, it makes me think that maybe there's not as much to this as I originally thought. And moving away from the legal side and back to the football side, yes, we should expect the bidding to begin. I really like Watson the player, but am extremely glad to have Josh Allen and not have the off-the-field distractions that now come with the Watson package.

I would have to assume that Seattle is the favorite at this point. In need of a QB with a good supporting cast. They have Metcalf and Lockett. With picks for more weapons if necessary. Watson on that team would be nearly super bowl contenders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
