On March 11, 2022, a Harris County grand jury declined to indict former Houston Texans Quarterback Deshaun Watson. The prosecution's case was presented by a sex crimes prosecutor from the Harris County District Attorney's Office, which is led by the District Attorney.

- What is the purpose of the grand jury process?
- What is the role of the prosecutor in the grand jury process?
- How did the District Attorney's office handle the investigation of Deshaun Watson?
- Ogg addresses two aspects of a recent New York Times story about Watson, including (1) the number of communications between the HCDAO and Watson's attorney, Rusty Hardin, and (2) how often grand jury packets are used for criminal defendants in Harris County
- The HCDAO's position on a recent Yahoo! Sports story about a police detective who investigated the Watson matter and felt a crime was committed
- Has the NFL, or the Browns, reached out to the Harris County District Attorney's Office to discuss Watson?
- How can the citizens of Harris County be assured that justice was done in the Deshaun Watson matter?
