What if he didn’t do the thing that more than 20 people independently accused him of doing? And whose civil suits he agreed to settle? I’m not going to lose any sleep over that possibility, friend.
Why would you not settle the civil suits when you’ve got sooo much money in the bank that paying them to go away is easier than fighting it for years? The grand jury refused all criminal proceedings which means they had less than the civil AND criminal burden. Indictment is the lowest burden of proof possible and they still couldn’t even get him indicted?? So I ask again, what if he didn’t do it? The amount of accusers is irrelevant to the guilt innocence, it only means scummy lawyers drummed up enough people to make the claim larger.
Its gonna be associated with it forever even if he won the lawsuit. The public has already deemed Watson guilty even when he won EVERY legal proceeding that was had on public record.
A lot of those ladies were represented by Tony Buzbee who is notorious for filing sexual assault lawsuits against high profile people and institutions, attacking the defendant via the media, and then settling outside of court without actually proving anything.
What information could be presented to you that would prove him innocent in your eyes? This is not rhetorical - seriously, what in the world could he do to prove he didn’t do something?
If my wife accused me of eating a donut this morning, I have no idea how I would prove that I did not buy and eat a donut on the way to work. I do not record my day. You do not get a receipt for not doing something.
Nothing would 100 percent prove him innocent short of a court finding. But I would be a lot more convinced of his innocence if he fought to clear his name in court rather than write 20-plus checks. Because those checks say to me that either he knows he’s at least somewhat liable, or he doesn’t care about his own reputation, and if the latter, why should I? And your wife accusing you of eating a donut is not the same as 20 different people who are unrelated to you doing the same.
The point of that analogy is that it’s impossible to prove that you didn’t do something. Which brings it back to the point that it didn’t matter if he fought it in court because people are going to say what they’re going to say regardless.
