HOUSTON (AP) — A grand jury on Friday declined to indict Houston Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson following a police investigation sparked by lawsuits filed by 22 women who have accused him of sexual assault and harassment.
The grand jury’s decision came about a year after the women first filed their suits, accusing Watson of exposing himself, touching them with his penis or kissing them against their will during massage appointments. One woman alleged Watson forced her to perform oral sex.
Houston police began investigating Watson in April 2021 after a criminal complaint was filed. The FBI also was reviewing the allegations.
Prosecutors presented evidence and testimony to the grand jury for over six hours on Friday related to nine criminal complaints against Watson, Johna Stallings, chief of the adult sex crimes and trafficking division with the Harris County District Attorney’s Office, said. She declined to say what possible charges were presented to the grand jury for consideration.

A prosecutor who cant indict "a ham sandwich" just doesn't want to indict, football is a religion in Tejas.

Prosecutors call grand juries in order to come to a predetermined outcome.
Unlike regular juries, they only see the evidence that the prosecutor wants them to see.
If the grand jury didn't find enough evidence for criminal charges then the prosecutor was seeking that outcome. Putting on a show (at taxpayers' expense) rather that doing his job. Probably a football fan.

or the jurors were fans who didn't wants facts to get in the way of a winning season.
The thing is Watson is not going to be playing for Texas in any case. The Texans don't want him and he doesn't want the Texans.
