Second judge rules in favor of Watson
There is more big news coming out of Houston for former Clemson quarterback Deshaun Watson.
According to ESPN reporter Sarah Barshop, all 12 lawsuits that were heard Friday afternoon by Judge Rabeea Sultan Collier in the 113th district court must be refiled in two business days with the names of the plaintiffs attached.
Earlier on Friday, another Harris County judge ruled one of the plaintiffs in the lawsuits must identify herself.
As reported by ESPN, the original lawsuit, filed by Houston attorney Tony Buzbee, was filed on behalf of Jane Doe. Of the 22 lawsuits filed against Watson alleging sexual assault and inappropriate conduct, only two women had been publicly identified.
