 The worst part is that from what has been said not one of them can actually prove it. That is crazy in of itself.

Hard evidence is going to be really hard to come by.

There were just two people involved in each encounter. Classic he said she said.

I don’t believe it’s legal to have video cameras in massage rooms. 

The women could have recorded audio legally, but I doubt they would think to do that.

Officially filed lawsuit count is now at thirteen.

This would be the first of the additional ten that had been talked about in the presser.

Ahhh, there is a key word there that depending on if it was a word that Buzbee used that kind of lets us know what the end game is...

”suing” as in looking for cash settlements.

Doesn’t appear to be all about cash settlements...

The lawyer is requesting a grand jury, which will privately hear the evidence decide if this goes criminal/indictment.

The end game could possibly be imprisonment. 

Of course if the don’t take it criminal and it stays civil - things could change.

Either Watson is a serial offender or this is the biggest high profile celebrity set up so far in the 21st century.

I know once they get the evidence of the crime then it will be all over with.

Yes, I said the end game is cash settlements. 

Then why would they request a grand jury? Once the state of Texas or DA takes the case, it’s about criminal charges, not settlements.

And in order to get them to take the case, you need a jury. Which is what’s being requested.

Very bad route to go by the lawyer if the end game is cash settlements.

It is a good strategy to validate the civil suits with a request for a grand jury. Whether he gets one or not is yet to be determined.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      David Newton finally retires

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
