I am still in awe of Reynal not even realizing he has given away his client's full phone image. Just astronomical levels of idiocy.

I like the idea that he didn't react because he had previously believed Jones when he told him there were no texts and emails on the phone.

I kind of wonder how far back the Jones phone image is honestly if it goes all the way back to Jan 6th.

regardless of everything, the snapback procedure only allows for retrieval of privileged information. not everything on jones' phone is privileged. certainly anything attorney/client communications would fall under such protection, but most stuff on the phone would not be privileged. Likewise, any of the stuff that would normally be privileged can lose such protection if, say, they're discussing bankruptcy fraud.

So the cap on punitive damage. Is there any reason why the Jury can't be told about that? I mean it seems like fairly essential information for a jury to be aware of to me. What if a random jury member just happens to know about it and mentions the cap to everyone, or heard there is such a thing and asks the Judge for details?

Hollismason posted:They probably didn't entitled it " We got all of Alex's Jones phone, what do we do with it", instead they probably sent something that said " We need to notify you of receipt of documents" or some other innocuous email subject line, the lawyers for the defense then ignored it because they were ignoring all of the plaintiffs emails , and have done that for like several years. This started some of the whole flipping off thing. No specifics to why but Bankston wanted to talk with them about something and there was this whole exchange about them not responding to his emails and do they even have his phone number. Basically, Reynal has been doing the classic lovely attorney thing and ignoring emails near trial so that he can claim “I was unaware of this. I did not agree to this. I didn’t have enough notice to review it.” But in this case, that strategy completely dfucked him.

Damage Caps are part of a long-term strategy by the insurance industry to reduce the amount of money they have to pay in court. As a whole, the insurance industry has engaged in a large scale company to do jury tampering through marketing/bad press of cases (think Liebeck vs McDonalds), damage caps, portrayals of plaintiffs and plaintiff attorneys as greedy. This is not just limited to Rs. There are lots of poo poo dems that support damage caps too

I can see why the Insurance industry wants this. My question was more, has there ever been any attempt at justification why the Jury aren't entitled to know what I would argue was vital information for the decision they are tasked to make.

Mr. Nice! posted:2-3 years which goes back to the start of the pandemic or before. My Alex-Jones-Tinfoil-Hat Conspiracy around the phone is that some Senators or other people in the government were telling Jones that Jan 6th was going down, and that they need him to tell his listeners that the insurrection is a good thing when it's happening. The fact that Jones was reportedly asking if the texts to "the senator" were included and the sudden interest of the Jan 6th Committee, it makes me think that someone was telling Jones the insurrection was going to happen a day or two in advance. Lol if Alex Jones's phone is the Rosetta Stone of the insurrection, allowing the committee to connect everything together. That'd be a hell of a story for the history books.

Asking judge — judge not allowed to answer. Judge said, after the trial, it would have been ok if one of the lawyers brought it up during the trial. But neither of them did.

That was written into the law, for that exact purpose. https://statutes.capitol.texas.gov/Docs/CP/htm/CP.41.htm quote:(e) The provisions of this section may not be made known to a jury by any means, including voir dire, introduction into evidence, argument, or instruction.

I want to watch with my knowledge of the future and bask. I can't find any clip that doesn't start with the flipping off. It started in the few minutes before because they were arguing about videos for evidence. Reynal was complaining about not knowing what their videos were and that he didn't have notice to prepare. Obviously because he's ignoring their emails. You get a little bit of it at the end of the flip off clip where they have some back and forth about talking.

Did Alex Jones' defense call him as their only witness? It seems pretty incredible to me, like surely you could find a crank psychologist to testify about how death threats are no big deal or some dipshit professor to testify about how all information is spread via messaging apps and Alex Jones isn't the main component of misinformation spreading.

Yes, that was their only witness. The plaintiffs will be putting him back on the stand for punitive damages.

Considering the specific text he had from Paul Joseph Watson was about a early COVID conspiracy and we consider that to be the first text he has just as a guess then the archive of messages would go back to the Spring of 2020. Rupert Buttermilk posted:I really, really, really hope this is what finally undoes a LOT of republicans' careers. Cold hard evidence of their treachery and stupidity, getting them ALL in immense legal trouble. I'll accept IodineGate or BrainForceGate I think we'll find some stuff that looks bad on the phone, but maybe nothing illegal with elected officials. Probably more stuff from Stewart Rhodes and the various Proud Boys he was affiliated with. He was trying to yell at people to not storm the Capitol on J6, so I don't know how much conspiratorial thinking I'll put into him working with Cruz or whoever to overthrow the government.
