Deshaun Watson gets a slight delay but looks like he's going to have to start talking in early March.
The plaintiffs who have been deposed and have not filed criminal complaints can depose Watson ASAP
The lead attorney for the plaintiffs, Tony Buzbee, told the court that there are nine plaintiffs that fit that description — they have been deposed and have not gone to the police to file a complaint against Watson. So Judge Collier ruled that depositions of Watson as pertains to THOSE nine plaintiffs can begin as soon as Hardin is available.
I think Judge Collier ruled the way she did because both sides agreed to these deadlines well in advance, and that Watson's side has been able to take a lot of depositionsRegarding the depositions Watson's side has taken, Buzbee claims that Hardin has had the chance to use over 75 hours to grill the plaintiffs.As previously outlined, the fact that Watson appears to be on track to get deposed while there is an open criminal investigation is not optimal.
The one shred of good news is that Hardin appeared confident in court on Monday that Watson's criminal case would come to some sort of resolution by April 1, hence Hardin using that as the target date to which he wanted to delay all depositions. Hardin disclosed Monday that the police have sent their findings to the Harris County DA's office, and that he believes it should be"weeks, not months" before the criminal investigation is resolved.
