And also say he's bankrupt and the Judge has to intervene and tell the jury it is not true.

But then again, if you're stupid enough to fall for "globalist" talking points, you're stupid enough to be an antisemite.

LifeSunDeath posted:That the judge hasn't held him in contempt 20 times yet is insane. He posted a picture of the judge with lasers eyes and the words TYRANT. There's judges out there that would be turbo mad about that. One genuine challenge here for the judge and the claimants is they want thus over with. Holding Jones in contempt will take time and they're trying to get to the end of the trial. This is why the judge will do what she can to avoid declaring a mistrial, it fucks with everybody. Expect some nastiness after the jury gives their decision, though.

Also as far as I'm aware, judges tend to be far more patient with the worst people and far stricter with decent people. In part to make sure people acting in good faith cross every i and dot every t, but also because juries will react negatively if they feel a judge is being unfairly harsh. Any sanctions or condemnations against Alex Jones have to clear the bar of "literally anyone eligible for jury duty would agree that this is a fair response."

I've been called up twice for jury duty. First time I actually dressed like a human being only to find out that everyone's in shorts and flip-flops. Second time was much less romantic especially having to take the bus downtown at five a.m.

I think part of why Jones doesn't go full bore   is also because there is a streak of overt philo-semitism in the right wing chud space; they're God's chosen people, nobody who fights them ends well, Zulily Zoetrope posted:Also as far as I'm aware, judges tend to be far more patient with the worst people and far stricter with decent people.

Tunicate posted:Jury duty is your only opportunity to legally hold the power of life or death over your fellow citizens. Why would you ever give up that chance??????? Juries are selected solely from the group of people too stupid to get out of jury duty. I'm only half joking there, but the reality is that very few people can afford to drop everything and be on a jury, especially for an extended period. On top of that, attorneys specifically weed out people who are not witless and are actively engaged with the world. I recall the last time I went in for jury duty it was a domestic violence case and one of the questions was "Raise your hand if you wonder what this defendant did to wind up the courtroom today," and only I and one other person raised their hands in the pool of fifty. So either the other 48 had no curiosity about the situation they were placed in since irregardless of guilt or innocence there was a human drama being placed before them, or there were a lot of dishonest people in that pool. The jury system is desperately in need of being reformed from top to bottom. Good luck doing that without a new constitution, though.

The one time I got called up for jury duty, it wasn't normal jury duty but grand jury duty, and no matter how much the judge talked up getting to hear interesting crimes and tour the county jail and eat the food, there was no way - even unemployed - I was going to give up a month of my life to that poo poo. Fortunately, enough rubes volunteered so the rest of us got dismissed on the first day.

First time it was something sexual and I was on a bus home before 2 p.m. Second time I had to rotate through the pool a bit but I was still dismissed the first day. Just don't say you hate everyone equally. The Judge does not like that.

Yeah, I'm a lawyer and have a few lawyer buddies who have been called, and our firms are basically required to act like it's fantastic that we're doing our civic duty so they keep paying them even as they serve. Though no lawyer wants another lawyer on a jury so most lawyers are stuck immediately. Totally get if you're a contractor, or work hourly, it's an awful deal.

I don't really understand the whole "If the judge doesn't hold him in contempt she makes him look better and he wants her to go after him." Alex Jones is going to claim the judge is biased and a demon who smells like sulfur and a tyrant no matter what. Even if he inexplicably wins the court case. Continuing to treat him with kid gloves is offensive and representative of a two tiered justice system. If my behavior was like Alex Jones the court case would be over and I would be in jail by now.

Also, he has already lost the court case, this is just determining damages.

If the Judge did take action on everything Jones said, she would become the center of the story and not Jones. When you have already lost the case, you want to either drag it out as long as possible or be as convulated twisting poo poo about in the majorly slim hope of getting a mistrial or vastly reduced charges. If she slammed him in jail for a day for not shutting up, you would have every right wing media outlet posting how the law is breaking Jones' first amendment, they wouldn't do it to a left wing journalist, its the worst thing in the world, hunter biden helped with his laptop etc. They are already smearing her as best they can, if she gives them any more ammo it could take over from what it should be about, Jones being a massive pile of poo poo. Which the world is seeing everytime he opens his mount thinking it will help himself. Afterwards, when the piss baby is blaming everyone but himself while hocking marked up snake oils to chuds to cover the costs, they will have nothing apart from photoshopped images and not actual court clips to frame the narrative.

my only jury duty was over a civil case between two women. one had rear-ended the other (and admitted it), but the woman who got hit wanted more money than her insurance was paying out. because she was going to an expensive chiropractor. I was last in a group of about 40-50 people. The lawyers wrote out a list of questions on one of those giant pads of paper. They were like "what is your name" what is your occupation" blah blah but the last one was "Do you have any preconceived opinions about the practice of Chiropractic?" So they go through the 40 people in front of me, every single one saying "No" to the last question. And of course me, like an embarrassing atheist redditor, had to say "Yes. I don't think it's legitimate medicine." I didn't get picked. And then my gf at the time asked me why, so I told her. she ended up getting mad because she went to the chiropractor all the time and when she brought this up I said "well if it works so great why do you have to keep going?" lol

So fun fact, most counties just send out mass jury summons and hope enough people actually come in. They don't keep track of who they send them out to so you can just not show up with no consequences.

Is this not an explicit endorsement of the two tiered system of justice we have? Nobody south of 7 figures net worth is going to get this kind of treatment. They'll get told to shut the gently caress up, gently caress the gently caress off and get their balls nailed to the wall with every piece of the book Jones isn't getting right now because of who he is and what he can do, and then lose on top of it like he is hopefully going to as well.
