Ohhhh boy, I just woke up and it seems the trial is expressing even more intense levels of human purulence than seen previously.

To those who are watching, I salute you. Also lmfao Jones hasn't ever felt consequences why wouldn't he double down, for those families I hope he's going to be the first one ever in the most recent crop of gently caress Around to Find Out

And we're back, but the audio is having some issues it seems?

EDIT: Fixed, and its we've got a video depo from Tim (?) Fruge (?)

The dude who earlier was in all of those emails about statistics and bookkeeping for FSS with Google Analytics stuff

This deposition absolutely shreds the corporate representative/Alex Jones' claims that they didn't monitor sales traffic or use google analytics or use both of those things to decide what to put on the show

Like those are absolute smoking craters. I know Perjury charges like never happen but this alone should net Jones one

This is even more painful considering Ms. Paz said she had reviewed this testimony before acting on behalf of FSS.

Sorry, I meant funny as gently caress. Tim is throwing -everyone- under the bus by answering, of all things, honestly.

This should wrap up any doubts the jury has about the intentional spreading of Sandy Hook claims for the purposes of profit that might be lurking in their minds

Like how do you come back from this, if you are Alex/Norm?

robert barnes is now talking

says that the court has said if he answers honestly or truthfully he will go to jail
claims that alex gave more discovery than any media organization in any trial
says it is a fake case

Oh poo poo, Alex Jones is still pulling that stunt outside. If this were any other case, I'd imagine he would be held in contempt for the violent outburst of crazy during his testimony, but that would only achieve a martyr complex and prove whatever twisted hosed up narrative he wants to keep peddling.

it almost seems like jones thought he could go to prison until very recently. like he say down with his lawyer and was like "so, it looks like i'm losing, how much prison time am i looking at?"
losing control of his company is going to be hilarious. i'm picturing a financial scooby-doo with a court appointed accountant chasing bags of money through door after door in a single hallway

I've been just kind of leaving the trial open in a tab or on my phone and I'll do other stuff while I listen in. If I run out of other stuff, I just kind of default to practicing music cause sure, it keeps my hands busy and it's not like I don't need it.

Yeah, that part got me really loving hard and the instrument's been back in his case the rest of the day. "Dead kid loved your hobby too" is a special feeling in the middle of all of this *vague, sad hand gesture*.

I switched back to Infowars where, surprise surprise, Alex Jones was still holding a press conference outside the courtroom (dunno if it was live or not though)

alex jones said politicians talking about mass shootings "looks like a media production"
alex j said he's strongly considering when he goes on the stand saying that this isn't a real court and pleading the 5th amendment
says the judge is guilty of tyranny
says he might not go onto the stand tomorrow because it's a trap
screaming about how the judge said he can't say he is innocent
plugging his book
planted question about how "don't we have free speech?"
alex says he doesn't have two million dollars
says he gave all the discovery and says they're weaponizing the judiciary
calls it a kangaroo trial

I'm morbidly wondering if he's hoping the jurors will hear him spouting off as they're evacuated. He's pretty much angling to mistrial at every chance, after all.

The best thing about that ramble of insanity that was being broadcast is the admission that if he goes back on the stand, he has to lie under oath to avoid jail.

Which is loving hilarious for the obvious reason, and then the more nuanced ones that aren’t immediately clear. Having to “tell the truth” or “answer honestly” resulting in him “going to jail” is especially funny, because that means that he’s trying to internally justify a way to not say something so bad that it would be worth the charges for perjury and lying to somehow avoid worse ones.
