Guy who exercised his first ammendment right, voiced an incorrect opinion, and is being punished at the price of 1 billion dollars (he doesn't have) for it.
The whole thing stinks to high heaven. People should be able to think something is a conspiracy without having their lives ruined by the government.
That's a generous way to describe a guy who repeatedly told lies about the deaths of children at Sandy Hook, their parents and the first responders at the massacre. Especially when he touted them for years to his followers online who were known to have harassed the families, all while he profited off of it.
either you want free speech, which means people you don't like getting to voice their stupid opinions, or you don't.
I think a large number of people really don't want free speech, they want only the popular opinions to be able to be voiced.
I believe in free speech. But I also believe in there being consequences for people's harmful actions. Jones purposely spread lies (Not opinions. Lies.) to thousands if not millions of viewers, which led to the direct harassment of other human beings. They sued. When he was ordered to provide documentation to the courts, [he chose not to, and lost by default.](https://apnews.com/article/business-alex-jones-school-shootings-lawsuits-sandy-hook-elementary-school-shooting-154bd79946433d0b8db18dfb34906cf1)
You don't have to defend an idiot who makes up shit about dead children, and chooses to lose defamation lawsuits.
No, the attorneys were incompetent. Competent attorneys wouldn't have wanted to work for this guy, and he operates in a brain-cell vacuum surrounded by people who don't object to the stupid shit he... look, [here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-QcbOphxYs) a video showing a bit more detail.
I don't know what Alex Jones means by things he says. [He talks about goblins a lot though](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAXTafMVWWI). He says lots of very unhinged things with what passes for a straight face.
he claimed sandy hook was staged, that people are lying so government can take guns and then contributed to his listeners to harass parents who lost children in that shooting.-
I'm wondering the same. Good way to kill your career off by letting something that important go to your opponent.. Unless you hate your client, and money definitely talks.
Saul would have turned it into how the attorney illegally obtained the text messages via some shady dealings with the Salamanca cartel thereby proving the prosecution is corrupt in turn leading to the whole case being thrown out.
Lol, the lawyer for the prosecution just cracked me up at 0:06.
(sinister laugh) "Yes Mr Jones --- indeed"
It's like listening to the evil villian as he starts to explain his diabolical plan.
Welcome to America where you get in trouble for speaking your mind. All these mass shooters are mk ultra and on antidepressants. And there’s crisis actors. Nikolas Cruz never had any armor on him in that guitar suitcase, yet Stacey Lapell said she saw full metal garb and military attire. Wake up America! Yes there are people who die in these tragedies yet there’s also crisis actors they pay to put fear into people. The one school the police wouldn’t go in for 60 minutes! You think that a coincidence!
Founded guilty under “Default” before trial hearings. He questioned the legitimacy of the Sandy Hook story, for about two weeks on his broadcast. Viewers that were linked listening to Alex Jones on the radio, sent threats of violence and called some of the Sandy Hook parents liars. The Sandy Hook parents sued for “Defamation” and pointed at Alex Jones, not the ones who made the threats, as the one to blame. They sued him for $50 million. That’s only in the state of Texas. Other states have similar proceedings going through.
As a parent I find it sick to make millions over my dead child’s body, no matter what that is fucking disgusting.
That man SINGLE handedly destroyed people's LIVES by outright calling the Sandy Hook shooting a hoax, which led to HIS followers HARASSING and THREATENING the families that just lost their loved ones in a VILE school shooting. The outright spread of misinformation and LIES maliciously for NO reason, to impact the VERY people that needed community support- NOT harassment, threats, and ADDITIONAL trauma from Alex INSISTING that a SCHOOL SHOOTING was a conspiracy theory.
PUT YOURSELF in the actual shoes for ONE second what it would be like to bury YOUR child and have thousands of people saying you are faking your grief, trauma and LOSS of someone you loved dearly- and for what!? THE MASSIVE amount of money he MADE peddling these lies for YEARS to his moronic viewers. This was NOT even the ONLY tragedy that he did this with- including other mass shootings too. His behavior has been CONSISTENT for years.
You want to call OTHER people "hivemind' for saying this man should be held ACCOUNTABLE for the harm he inflicted? Sounds like you're projecting to me. Freedom of speech does NOT encompass the freedom to run your fucking mouth without consequences.
Do us all a favor and choke harder on his shlong, because your defense of this CON man that made money off of people's loss and grief says everything we need to know.
You honestly are emotional and are making up things. Do some actually investigating and this is actually a weird situation. Free speech lost in this you dumbass.
You know how many people have said heinous things on the internet with just as much followers but have never received the same amount of hate that yall are throwing at him?
It looks like you are projecting, not me.
I honestly don't care about the sandy hooks thing.
I think this is an attempt by a ton of inexperienced people to control speech.
Rude little fuck.
If you want to nitpick, that just means you're unhappy with yourself anyway.
I meant that this dude shouldn't be getting shit thrown at him at all and deserves to walk away with no repercussions.
You fucking redditors are getting bold with your talking but if someone was there in front of you, you wouldn't say shit.
Ok kid settle down. I know you can’t get laid and you’re angry. Alex Jones is just using free speech, kinda like your dumbass is !!!!
Go watch your anime now and jerk off with your left hand.

Lolololololol
Incredible. He was just ordered to pay 4.1 million in damages. By the other lawyer's accounts of his actual finances from his cell phone at one point he was making $800,000 per day. So a whole five days of pay. Damn. Sounds rough.
Actually his finances seem to be much worse now so we will see
I watched it and cannot agree with the description of this moron being shocked. He immediately tried to weasel out of the situation and just acted the normal idiotic self. Hope he ends up poor and forgotten.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — For years, bombastic far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ranted to his millions of followers that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, that children weren’t killed and that parents were crisis actors in an elaborate ruse to force gun control.
Under oath and facing a jury that could hit him with $150 million or more in damages for his false claims, Jones said Wednesday he now realizes that was irresponsible and believes that what happened in the deadliest school shooting in American history was “100% real.”
Jones’ public contrition came on the final day of testimony in a two-week defamation lawsuit against him and his Austin-based media company, Free Speech Systems, brought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis. Their son was a first grader who was among the 20 students and six teachers killed at the school in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012.
“I unintentionally took part in things that did hurt these people’s feelings,” said Jones, who also acknowledged raising conspiracy claims about other mass tragedies, from the Oklahoma City and Boston Marathon bombings to the mass shootings in Las Vegas and Parkland, Florida, “and I’m sorry for that.”
But an apology isn’t enough for Heslin and Lewis. They said Jones and the media empire he controls and used to spread his false assertions must be held accountable.
“Alex started this fight,” Heslin said, “and I’ll finish this fight.”
The parents testified Tuesday about a decade of trauma, inflicted first by the murder of their son and what followed: gun shots fired at a home, online and telephone threats, and harassment on the street by strangers, all fueled by Jones and his conspiracy theory spread to his followers via his website Infowars.
A forensic psychiatrist testified the parents suffer from “complex post-traumatic stress disorder” inflicted by ongoing trauma, similar to what might be experienced by a soldier at war or a child abuse victim.
At one point in her testimony, Lewis looked directly at Jones, who was sitting barely 10 feet away.
“It seems so incredible to me that we have to do this — that we have to implore you, to punish you — to get you to stop lying,” Lewis told Jones.
Courts in Texas and Connecticut have already found Jones liable for defamation for his portrayal of the Sandy Hook massacre as a hoax involving actors aimed at increasing gun control.
Now, Heslin and Lewis are asking the jury in Austin for $150 million in compensation for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. They will also ask the jury to assess additional punitive damages.
Jurors began considering damages Wednesday. Once they determine whether Jones should pay the parents compensation for defamation and emotional distress, it must then decide if he must also pay punitive damages. That portion will involve a separate mini-trial with Jones and economists testifying to his and his company’s net worth.
Jones’ attorney asked the jury to limit damages to $8 — one dollar for each of the compensation charges they are considering — and Jones himself said any award over $2 million “would sink us.”
At the end of Jones’ testimony, Mark Bankston, an attorney for the family, pulled a crumpled dollar bill out of his pocket, showed it to Jones, and put it down in front of the parents.
“The day Sandy Hook happened, Alex Jones planted a seed of misinformation that lasted a decade,” parents’ attorney Kyle Farrar told the jury in closing arguments. “And he just watered that seed over and over until it bore fruit: cruelty and money.”
During his testimony, Jones said he’s tried in the past to back off the hoax claims, but “they (the media) won’t let me take it back.”
Jones — who has been banned from major social media platforms for hate speech and abusive behavior — has portrayed the lawsuit as an attack on his First Amendment rights and complained that he’s been “typecast as someone that runs around talking about Sandy Hook, makes money off Sandy Hook, is obsessed by Sandy Hook.”
Eight days of testimony included videos of Jones and Infowars employees talking about the Sandy Hook conspiracy and even mocking Heslin’s description in a 2017 television interview that he’d held his dead son Jesse’s body “with a bullet hole through his head.” Heslin described that moment with his dead son to the jury.
Jones was the only witness to testify in his defense. And he came under withering attack from the plaintiffs attorneys under cross examination, as they reviewed Jones’ own video claims about Sandy Hook over the years, and accused him of lying and trying to hide evidence, including text messages and emails about Sandy Hook. It also included internal emails sent by an Infowars employee that said “this Sandy Hook stuff is killing us.”
At one point, Jones was told that his attorneys had mistakenly sent Bankston the last two years’ worth of texts from Jones’ cellphone.
And shortly after Jones declared “I don’t use email,” Jones was shown one that came from his address, and another one from an Infowars business officer telling Jones that the company had earned $800,000 gross in selling its products in a single day, which would amount to nearly $300 million in a year.
Jones has already tried to protect Free Speech Systems financially. The company filed for federal bankruptcy protection last week. Sandy Hook families have separately sued Jones over his financial claims, arguing that the company is trying to protect millions owned by Jones and his family through shell entities.
#I found this and copied it in 8 seconds.
Verrry right-wing guy who has his own podcast/radio show, where he's constantly yelling and says way too many inflammatory and false things per episode. His episodes have talked about the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting as if it was fake, to the point where his listeners have threatened the parents of the deceased kids. He's been found guilty, and they're now in the sentencing phase for over $100 million.
I think his lawyers are actively trying to fuck him over because no one could be this stupid. Jones can't even claim "ineffective assistance of counsel" because this is a civil case not a criminal case. So maybe they're just trying to bury him? What a strange shit show

"accidentally" - I'm thinking a high profile case like this, there aren't any big accidents like this unless you're truly incompetent. I'm thinking it's very possible this was very much on purpose because of the follow-up statement that the lawyer didn't file any motions or actions after being informed of his "mistake".
You know you're a real POS when the person you pay money to defend you, will still sabotage you in court.
Part of me wonders if this was deliberate on his lawyers side. He knows his client is a terrible person and is guilty, and has been obstructing discovery.
His face right at the end was all I needed to make me smile. This shit needs to realize he can't just keep saying whatever works in his favor. He will eventually slip up which is also why alot of republicans probably won't testify related to the January 6th riots. Keep on drilling this traitors and liers and get them all in jail and close their associated businesses.
My guess is that the Jones' lawyer realized what a menace to society he is and "accidentally" sent it to opposing attorneys. He also ignored notifications from opposing counsel to verify if it was OK to use the records as evidence...not an accident.
Holy shit. JAN 6 committee now wants the leaked phone messages between Jones and Roger Stone. How fucked did Alex get from his own Attorney? What an idiot
I think this leak had to be on purpose for the sole reason of Jan 6th. Every time they try to get texts from that day all of a sudden 'Poof, theyre gone.'
Well, the whole world now knows that his texts did not poof, and he helped plan Jan 6th.
All of his facial expressions here are him realizing that hes finally become the conspiracy that he so wants to be real.
"Do you know how i got this information Mr. Jones"
Jones: "No"
Jones' Brain *system rebooting*
They got every text he sent for TWO YEARS. All of his facial expressions make me think that sandy hook might have been the absolute least of his shenanigans. He has the look of "Hooooooly shit.....I am soooooo fucked."
I know this is serious but when the camera pans back to his lawyer and we can't see his face I am just imagining Michael Scott making a face when he is in trouble.
I’d bet Alex Jones’s lawyer did the morally right thing and purposefully sent out the texts because he also wants to bring down the spread of misinformation from this slutbag. It wasn’t at all an “accident”
I asked my wife, who is a retired attorney, about this. She said it is such that Jones’ attorney is ethically bound to turn over the texts where Jones said words to the effect, “The Sandyhook shooting was real,” even if he wasn’t asked by the prosecution. The words like, “The shooting was real,” is evidence and even the defense lawyers are required to turn over evidence of a crime.
Of course, the defense can get around this by “accidentally” giving this evidence to the prosecution. When asked by the prosecution to give them “X,” the defense turns over the entire alphabet and lets the prosecution try to find the proverbial “smoking gun.”
I read and saw the video. It’s actually a stretch to PROVE that he is guilty of perjury. He said that he looked through his phone and couldn’t find any texts. That does (unfortunately) leave room for error on the iPhone apart, honest error on his part, and a other small variables. He won’t be in trouble for this.
Also, if anyone knows the court system, you really have to perjure yourself (usually again and again) in a serous manner for anything to happen about it. And even then, not likely. I know this first hand from watching a family member in court.
How do you accidentally do that? That seems like it should be looked into like crazy. That’s not even a fair trial for Alex even though I want him to lose

This lives rent free in my head

Guy who exercised his first ammendment right, voiced an incorrect opinion, and is being punished at the price of 1 billion dollars (he doesn't have) for it. The whole thing stinks to high heaven.

I believe in free speech. But I also believe in there being consequences for people's harmful actions. Jones purposely spread lies (Not opinions.

He’s a famous media personality who said that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. The parents of one of the victims sued for defamation
Thanks random internet stranger who stumbled upon my comment from 2 months ago
Wait, did his attorney purposefully fuck him over?
No, the attorneys were incompetent. Competent attorneys wouldn't have wanted to work for this guy, and he operates in a brain-cell vacuum surrounded by people who don't object to the stupid shit he... look, [here's](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x-QcbOphxYs) a video showing a bit more detail.
[удалено]
You got me. This is your Perry Mason moment right here.
The judge speaks to him like he’s a little kid lmao. Why did his lawyer do this?
The lawyers were incompetent, and Jones had already posted a video by this point claiming that the judge was a goblin.
Like an actual mythical creature goblin? Or is that slang for something?
I don't know what Alex Jones means by things he says. [He talks about goblins a lot though](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAXTafMVWWI). He says lots of very unhinged things with what passes for a straight face.
That was no accident
I could ALMOST sustain myself exclusively on the schadenfreude in this video.
What did Alex Jones actually do? Is about the chemicals in the water? They turned the frickin frogs gay DONT YOU UNDERSTAND THAT!?
he claimed sandy hook was staged, that people are lying so government can take guns and then contributed to his listeners to harass parents who lost children in that shooting.-
didn’t he come out and admit he was wrong?
He was forced by the court to protect himself.
Should’ve called Saul he wouldn’t let this slide
In the very beginning when the lawyer said “mhmmhmhmmm yes mr Jones, indeed” is some of the corniest shit I’ve ever heard
"accidentally"
So is he just like the worst lawyer ever or something?
I'd say he's right up there with Amber Herds lawyer when he objected to his own question, lol They both committed career-acide
Was it an accident though, or was the lawyer bought off? We might be seeing a case against the lawyer.
I'm wondering the same. Good way to kill your career off by letting something that important go to your opponent.. Unless you hate your client, and money definitely talks.
Hmhmmhmm yes mr jones indeed *rubs hands together diabolically*
Better call Saul
Saul would have turned it into how the attorney illegally obtained the text messages via some shady dealings with the Salamanca cartel thereby proving the prosecution is corrupt in turn leading to the whole case being thrown out.
Lol, the lawyer for the prosecution just cracked me up at 0:06. (sinister laugh) "Yes Mr Jones --- indeed" It's like listening to the evil villian as he starts to explain his diabolical plan.
Greatest legal mind I ever knew.
"Accidentally." His lawyers are doing God's work.
why couldnt he just stick to just talking about the frogs!
Welcome to America where you get in trouble for speaking your mind. All these mass shooters are mk ultra and on antidepressants. And there’s crisis actors. Nikolas Cruz never had any armor on him in that guitar suitcase, yet Stacey Lapell said she saw full metal garb and military attire. Wake up America! Yes there are people who die in these tragedies yet there’s also crisis actors they pay to put fear into people. The one school the police wouldn’t go in for 60 minutes! You think that a coincidence!
Fuck yes first amendment defended no matter the cost. It’s #1 for a reason.
Well I mean...that lawyer isn't going to be getting any jobs anytime soon.
I really like to think that lawyer was just playing at being incompetent so that justice is served
That's some Ace Attorney shit right there
can someone tell me why he’s being tried in Texas?
Founded guilty under “Default” before trial hearings. He questioned the legitimacy of the Sandy Hook story, for about two weeks on his broadcast. Viewers that were linked listening to Alex Jones on the radio, sent threats of violence and called some of the Sandy Hook parents liars. The Sandy Hook parents sued for “Defamation” and pointed at Alex Jones, not the ones who made the threats, as the one to blame. They sued him for $50 million. That’s only in the state of Texas. Other states have similar proceedings going through. As a parent I find it sick to make millions over my dead child’s body, no matter what that is fucking disgusting.
This might be the best thing I’ve EVER seen!!!
Both sides have to have the same information on the case or a mistrial can happen. This is called full disclosure
Is it just me or does that judge look soooo goth.
What I don’t understand, is why would he have made up the lies in the first place? Does he believe them? Why do it? Was he paid to?
What do I do lord?
Alex reveals sex life under oath[Admits to orgy with Biden and monkey](https://youtu.be/tc-8Y6F7EAY)
rot in hell alex jones you fat lying fuck
The media should stop calling him a conservative. He is some sort of Nazi Communist disruptor whos only mission is to destabilize the country.
Nazi Communist is an oxymoron lol
Lolol
He just took a Trump in his pants on live TV😄
And I thought Elaine was a terrible lawyer, lmao.
I hope they go after MTG next. She sat next to Jones and spewed venomous lies about this very subject.
The whole universe has conspired to make this happen.
Deep state lawyer.
His attorney had better have really good malpractice insurance.
Alex Jones being roasted by Dwight Schrute lol
This man deserves to walk free and everyone here knows it.

This fucking asshole is one of the most disgusting examples of a piece of shit opportunist lying motherfucker (other prominent former presidents come to mind as well) and dumbfuck simps who troll for him are no better (look in the mirror) oh and news flash, “if I was there in front of you” {threatening physical violence} proves MY point, not yours.
Read it again, fuckwad.

Important update: https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2022-08-04/jan-6-committee-poised-to-receive-infowars-alex-jones-cell-records-after-lawyer-flub Lolololololol
Incredible. He was just ordered to pay 4.1 million in damages. By the other lawyer's accounts of his actual finances from his cell phone at one point he was making $800,000 per day. So a whole five days of pay. Damn. Sounds rough. Actually his finances seem to be much worse now so we will see
It's not often you see someone make *literally* every person in a courtroom absolutely loathe your existence with words alone.
Oh, the tangled web we weave when practicing the art of deception.
damn pressure turned him to a person of color real quick, specifically shades red and scarlet
You see, when I was a young boy growing up.....
That’s the face you make when you shit your pants on the stand.
When you Trump your pants on the stand.
Pure schadenfreude
My pleasure
I watched it and cannot agree with the description of this moron being shocked. He immediately tried to weasel out of the situation and just acted the normal idiotic self. Hope he ends up poor and forgotten.
ootl who is alex jones and why is he so important?
https://apnews.com/article/d029d6736d2ce6755c9e89e7cf9f27af AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — For years, bombastic far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ranted to his millions of followers that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, that children weren’t killed and that parents were crisis actors in an elaborate ruse to force gun control. Under oath and facing a jury that could hit him with $150 million or more in damages for his false claims, Jones said Wednesday he now realizes that was irresponsible and believes that what happened in the deadliest school shooting in American history was “100% real.” Jones’ public contrition came on the final day of testimony in a two-week defamation lawsuit against him and his Austin-based media company, Free Speech Systems, brought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis. Their son was a first grader who was among the 20 students and six teachers killed at the school in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012. “I unintentionally took part in things that did hurt these people’s feelings,” said Jones, who also acknowledged raising conspiracy claims about other mass tragedies, from the Oklahoma City and Boston Marathon bombings to the mass shootings in Las Vegas and Parkland, Florida, “and I’m sorry for that.” But an apology isn’t enough for Heslin and Lewis. They said Jones and the media empire he controls and used to spread his false assertions must be held accountable. “Alex started this fight,” Heslin said, “and I’ll finish this fight.” The parents testified Tuesday about a decade of trauma, inflicted first by the murder of their son and what followed: gun shots fired at a home, online and telephone threats, and harassment on the street by strangers, all fueled by Jones and his conspiracy theory spread to his followers via his website Infowars. A forensic psychiatrist testified the parents suffer from “complex post-traumatic stress disorder” inflicted by ongoing trauma, similar to what might be experienced by a soldier at war or a child abuse victim. At one point in her testimony, Lewis looked directly at Jones, who was sitting barely 10 feet away. “It seems so incredible to me that we have to do this — that we have to implore you, to punish you — to get you to stop lying,” Lewis told Jones. Courts in Texas and Connecticut have already found Jones liable for defamation for his portrayal of the Sandy Hook massacre as a hoax involving actors aimed at increasing gun control. Now, Heslin and Lewis are asking the jury in Austin for $150 million in compensation for defamation and intentional infliction of emotional distress. They will also ask the jury to assess additional punitive damages. Jurors began considering damages Wednesday. Once they determine whether Jones should pay the parents compensation for defamation and emotional distress, it must then decide if he must also pay punitive damages. That portion will involve a separate mini-trial with Jones and economists testifying to his and his company’s net worth. Jones’ attorney asked the jury to limit damages to $8 — one dollar for each of the compensation charges they are considering — and Jones himself said any award over $2 million “would sink us.” At the end of Jones’ testimony, Mark Bankston, an attorney for the family, pulled a crumpled dollar bill out of his pocket, showed it to Jones, and put it down in front of the parents. “The day Sandy Hook happened, Alex Jones planted a seed of misinformation that lasted a decade,” parents’ attorney Kyle Farrar told the jury in closing arguments. “And he just watered that seed over and over until it bore fruit: cruelty and money.” During his testimony, Jones said he’s tried in the past to back off the hoax claims, but “they (the media) won’t let me take it back.” Jones — who has been banned from major social media platforms for hate speech and abusive behavior — has portrayed the lawsuit as an attack on his First Amendment rights and complained that he’s been “typecast as someone that runs around talking about Sandy Hook, makes money off Sandy Hook, is obsessed by Sandy Hook.” Eight days of testimony included videos of Jones and Infowars employees talking about the Sandy Hook conspiracy and even mocking Heslin’s description in a 2017 television interview that he’d held his dead son Jesse’s body “with a bullet hole through his head.” Heslin described that moment with his dead son to the jury. Jones was the only witness to testify in his defense. And he came under withering attack from the plaintiffs attorneys under cross examination, as they reviewed Jones’ own video claims about Sandy Hook over the years, and accused him of lying and trying to hide evidence, including text messages and emails about Sandy Hook. It also included internal emails sent by an Infowars employee that said “this Sandy Hook stuff is killing us.” At one point, Jones was told that his attorneys had mistakenly sent Bankston the last two years’ worth of texts from Jones’ cellphone. And shortly after Jones declared “I don’t use email,” Jones was shown one that came from his address, and another one from an Infowars business officer telling Jones that the company had earned $800,000 gross in selling its products in a single day, which would amount to nearly $300 million in a year. Jones has already tried to protect Free Speech Systems financially. The company filed for federal bankruptcy protection last week. Sandy Hook families have separately sued Jones over his financial claims, arguing that the company is trying to protect millions owned by Jones and his family through shell entities. #I found this and copied it in 8 seconds.
nice ty
Verrry right-wing guy who has his own podcast/radio show, where he's constantly yelling and says way too many inflammatory and false things per episode. His episodes have talked about the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting as if it was fake, to the point where his listeners have threatened the parents of the deceased kids. He's been found guilty, and they're now in the sentencing phase for over $100 million.
Yeah “accidentally”
I think his lawyers are actively trying to fuck him over because no one could be this stupid. Jones can't even claim "ineffective assistance of counsel" because this is a civil case not a criminal case. So maybe they're just trying to bury him? What a strange shit show
*Accidentally.* Uh-huh. Sure. Got it.
“Accidentally“
Drowning on dry land. Alex Jones needs to be thrown behind bars and forbidden from broadcasting anything anywhere at any time.
Whats the background on this? Could someone explain to me?

Thank you very much for the reply!
“You know what perjury is?” “I’m not a tech guy” How does he still have people who listen
My new headcanon is Jones’s lawyer is a distant relative of one of the families.
"accidentally" - I'm thinking a high profile case like this, there aren't any big accidents like this unless you're truly incompetent. I'm thinking it's very possible this was very much on purpose because of the follow-up statement that the lawyer didn't file any motions or actions after being informed of his "mistake". You know you're a real POS when the person you pay money to defend you, will still sabotage you in court.
I bet his attorneys case is going great.
Brutal. Savage. Rekt.
Yes "accidentally" 🤣
I hate the guy, but wouldn’t that be inadmissible in court… since it was ‘accidentally’ sent and not part of the discovery?
No. He even said he told the defense it about and they made no efforts to correct it. It's now fair game
Nice
Jones lawyer works for the deep state.
“Accidentally”
"Accidentally" my ass. One of his lawyer just developed an acute case of a conscience.
This sounds totally legit.
What an incompetent lawyer.
Free my boy Jones!
An opposing lawyer can accidentally get ALL of Alex Jones phone text records but the DoD can’t find any for agents?
“I have the worst f***ing attorneys”
Jail that prick. Forever.
It's so bad I almost believe that true. Doesn't this that Jones has a case for re trial because of negligent representation
I can’t wait to read chapter 2 of Alex Jones and connection to January 6! I can hear the fat lady singing in the distant . 😂
I don't know where I heard this but don't lawyers have to disclose incriminating evidence? So maybe he didn't accidently disclose it
Part of me wonders if this was deliberate on his lawyers side. He knows his client is a terrible person and is guilty, and has been obstructing discovery.
His face right at the end was all I needed to make me smile. This shit needs to realize he can't just keep saying whatever works in his favor. He will eventually slip up which is also why alot of republicans probably won't testify related to the January 6th riots. Keep on drilling this traitors and liers and get them all in jail and close their associated businesses.
Where the hell did he find this lawyer?
Infowars. Hahaha
Ahhh & child porn
So that information is permissible in court? I'm confused.
My guess is that the Jones' lawyer realized what a menace to society he is and "accidentally" sent it to opposing attorneys. He also ignored notifications from opposing counsel to verify if it was OK to use the records as evidence...not an accident.
Holy shit. JAN 6 committee now wants the leaked phone messages between Jones and Roger Stone. How fucked did Alex get from his own Attorney? What an idiot
I think this leak had to be on purpose for the sole reason of Jan 6th. Every time they try to get texts from that day all of a sudden 'Poof, theyre gone.' Well, the whole world now knows that his texts did not poof, and he helped plan Jan 6th.
But then there is also the statement the prosecutor made about how it was illegal for the defendant attorney having the physiological tests .
I think if this can, in any way, take down the people who tried to overthrow our government then Alex Jones is just a small time inconvenience.
All of his facial expressions here are him realizing that hes finally become the conspiracy that he so wants to be real. "Do you know how i got this information Mr. Jones" Jones: "No" Jones' Brain *system rebooting* They got every text he sent for TWO YEARS. All of his facial expressions make me think that sandy hook might have been the absolute least of his shenanigans. He has the look of "Hooooooly shit.....I am soooooo fucked."
I know this is serious but when the camera pans back to his lawyer and we can't see his face I am just imagining Michael Scott making a face when he is in trouble.
"Accidently"
See..there are very few ppl in the world who hate Alex Jones more than me...and yet I felt bad for him...in a really cringey, embarrassing way.
ELIF Who he is? What happened
He's a grifter who tried profiteering off the Sandy Hook massacre by saying it was all a conspiracy that didn't happen.
Wow. What a piece of shit
“*Hmmhmmhmmhmm*, yes Mr. Jones, *indeed*”
The most perfect indeed ever. This lawyer will have much work in the future.
Perjury is not what he’s thinking about right here
I’d bet Alex Jones’s lawyer did the morally right thing and purposefully sent out the texts because he also wants to bring down the spread of misinformation from this slutbag. It wasn’t at all an “accident”
I asked my wife, who is a retired attorney, about this. She said it is such that Jones’ attorney is ethically bound to turn over the texts where Jones said words to the effect, “The Sandyhook shooting was real,” even if he wasn’t asked by the prosecution. The words like, “The shooting was real,” is evidence and even the defense lawyers are required to turn over evidence of a crime. Of course, the defense can get around this by “accidentally” giving this evidence to the prosecution. When asked by the prosecution to give them “X,” the defense turns over the entire alphabet and lets the prosecution try to find the proverbial “smoking gun.”
That lawyer did that on purpose
I read and saw the video. It’s actually a stretch to PROVE that he is guilty of perjury. He said that he looked through his phone and couldn’t find any texts. That does (unfortunately) leave room for error on the iPhone apart, honest error on his part, and a other small variables. He won’t be in trouble for this. Also, if anyone knows the court system, you really have to perjure yourself (usually again and again) in a serous manner for anything to happen about it. And even then, not likely. I know this first hand from watching a family member in court.
His demeanor makes me sick, I know a bunch of boomers just like this guy! The clear embodiment of what’s wrong with a lot of ppl in this country!
How do you accidentally do that? That seems like it should be looked into like crazy. That’s not even a fair trial for Alex even though I want him to lose
Was it sent by accident though 🤔
I’m suing my lawyer
This still makes me laugh
