What are the odds that Alex Jones doubles down and goes full loving lunatic crazy on the stand. Like just up and says the whole thing is a hoax by evil globalists.

He's got to either go fully unhinged or maximum subdued. Nothing in between would make sense.

If Mark is right and their legal strategy is actually fishing for a mistrial I think full crazy Alex is most likely

Alex Jones will be taking the stand tomorrow
|
What are the odds he no-shows? Not just a simple not showing up, but there will be a complicated "currently at the hospital" or "giving statement to the police" sort of thing.

I would have bet good money against this. His lawyers are loving awful if they let him go through with it Edit: for the money my bet is that he goes the Tucker “it’s all just entertainment everyone knows that” route but I would have probably emptied my bank account to bet that he wasn’t dumb enough to take the stand so maybe don’t listen to me

And holy poo poo he is going to get eviscerated during cross. Can we get an over under for whether or not he takes his shirt off or mentions chili?

He's likely to be put on the stand by plaintiffs in the second phase of the trial, regardless, because they want to get testimony about his net worth.

I think the DSM-I's definition of PTSD is "an imbalance of the four humours treatable with with a cocaine-opium tincture in men. And nymphomania in women treatable with witch burning."

Yeah that’s the thing. There’s no pause button. Once he’s up there they are going to needle the poo poo out of him until he wigs out and no one will be able to stop it. I still think they might find some way to weasel out of this because letting Jones testify is like putting Manson on the stand. His lawyers absolutely cannot predict or control what he’s going to say and that is terrible lawyering

Piell posted:Honestly think they're just going for a mistrial They are rapidly running out of runway for that though E: Think about it this way. Pretend for a moment you are Jones' lawyer. He is already guilty and you are in the penalty phase of the trial at this point. What could you possibly gain by putting Jones on the stand. There's literally nothing he can say that's not going to sound like either A) mealy-mouthed excuses or B) victim blaming or C) lol both Jones could present a notarized memo from God and he'd still be turbofucked. This is insane. Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 23:09 on Aug 1, 2022 |

Maybe its a gambit to show how you can't possibly take what he says as of consequence. Which might have worked at the beginning but doesn't discount the fact that he is also a very rich crazy person who needs to loving pay up.

Yeah my guess is they want him to appear sympathetic and are probably going to go down some route like "I just lost control of this narrative and couldn't reign in my followers" and then during cross he will get asked a single question and then flip out completely negating any progress the defense makes. Which won't be much

Which won't be much The time to do that would have been during the actual trial to determine whether he was at fault or not. We're past that now and everyone has already been instructed to assume he's guilty. Nothing and I mean NOTHING he could possibly say is going to paint him in a better light. They can straight up ask him why he refused to participate in the trial. They can play recordings of poo poo he said on the air and ask him questions about it. Putting him on the stand is an insane failure of lawyering. I suppose you could make an argument that they want him to appear more sympathetic to people who were already receptive to Jones' particular brand of crazy but those people were already sympathetic so what's the loving point? The moment he says anything that isn't "I'm sorry, I was wrong" he's going to be utterly eviscerated. Frank Frank fucked around with this message at 23:13 on Aug 1, 2022 |

Hollismason posted:Yeah Jones going onto the stand is a absolute disaster. He's going to get crossed about his net worth along with a bunch of other poo poo. Yup. Just having him up there allows the plaintiff to ask him p much anything so long as it's germane to the case/sentencing from what I understand. Maybe Jones is gonna Bud Dwyer himself? That's literally the only reason I can think of to do this.

Tree Dude posted:Didn't he double down on the conspiracy narrative at his deposition in December? He said he believed that real children were really killed by adam lanza, but he still has questions about Sandy Hook and the jurors should research it himself. Since he is a massive liar he probably thinks it was a cross dimensional Hillary clone attack, so who knows. Him being under oath means nothing. I'm guessing he does ok with his lawyer, and then Bankston just needles him until he explodes in rage. Can a defendant having an insane screaming fit in front of a jury be a cause for mistrial?

Grand Fromage posted:He's so delusional he thinks he can pull off a defense This is why you pay lawyers to tell you to shut up and sit down. Don’t get me wrong, this is going to be loving hilarious (and I still don’t think it will happen) but no one in their right mind will ever hire that law firm again if they let him go up there and make an rear end out of himself. Hell, if the lawyer didn’t agree with this approach I think this would be the sort of thing that would allow him to bow out of the case, wouldn’t it? “Sorry, I can’t represent Mr. Jones he won’t listen to me and I don’t think I can continue to defend him”. That’s a thing, right?

In the end a lawyer can’t stop their client from doing what they want. As long as people know whose idea it is

Butterwagon posted:Super cool that the Sandy Hook guy can livestream himself saying "I am trying to commit fraud right now" and apparently the courts can't do anything about it This is from a few pages back but could you elaborate on this? Was he actually ranting about this on his livestream? Also close to my actual genuine reaction to Alex going on the stand.  Yeah calling it now he either is completely subdued or he goes full ham. I don't understand why they're doing this though? I mean. They might be fishing for a mistrial but short of Alex freaking out and rage making GBS threads himself on the bench I don't know how they could justify it at this point.

I really want to know the thought process of S. Ball attorney at law, when taking on this case. Seeing all the lawyers he’s gone through and who he is, what he’s known for, the very horrific nature of this case, and thinking “yeah I got that”

Frank Frank posted:It really sucks that the stink of cases like this doesn’t stick to lawyers. Sure, everyone is entitled to representation but lawyers also have the ability to say “lol not it”. This mofo should be pilloried this one might actually stick to him, there are reasons for the distinction between "these offenses are sanctionable" and "these arguments are merely the inevitable result of a lawyer being handed a disaster of a case and impotently flailing to try and make his client's outcome less cataclysmic", and repeatedly breaking trial rules after multiple, increasingly angry judge admonishments is more like the first one
