Lawyers for the victims of former OSU doctor Richard Strauss say Judge Michael H. Watson should have recused himself from the cases.
“Yes, he should have disclosed to the attorneys that his spouse’s business received direct orders from Ohio State before he took the cases,” said a lawyer for 48 of Strauss’ victims, Rocky Ratliff, a former Ohio State wrestler. “One hundred percent this should have been disclosed and he should have recused himself due to that fact.”
“The elevated fiscal year 2017 expenditure is due to a single purchase of Block O flags given to students at convocation in August 2016, approximately two years before the first legal filing in July 2018,” Johnson said in a series of emails, adding that “all purchases were approved by University Purchasing in accordance with applicable rules and regulations.”The Flag Lady’s Flag Store, the Watsons and Eric Weitz, a spokesman for the U.S.
But Watson, who previously acknowledged that he also teaches a law class at Ohio State, conceded in the transcript that “the appearance of impropriety may be implicated.”
