$150,000,000 holy poo poo. That feels like a big swing but I hope they get it.

lol Jones' lawyer seeking a mistrial for reasons I didn't hear because they were going to break. Good effort.

Lmao they might as well ask for a bad court thingy. They already pissed off the judge by objecting within the first ten seconds of the opening statement.

Also mute those mics guys

There was a good your pretty face is going to hell episode that had an alex jones facsimile who had a big fan in hell, like one of Satan's employees/tortured souls, and the guy stopped respecting Satan because Alex Jones said that Satan was gay lovers with Obama.

He ran through about 3-4 different legal teams over the course of this whole thing. Not even the true believer lawyers lasted. No one with an actual reputation to stake was gonna risk tying themselves to this case

nobody wants to take his case, he's already been dunked well into the get hosed zone

this same judge already passed a default judgement on him, which is basically being declared guilty because you spent too much time loving around and annoying the court. now this trial is the 'sentencing' more or less in front of a judge who already dislikes jones for being a bad faith shithead

you'd have to be an idiot, an ideologue, or desperate as hell to represent alex jones at this stage of the trial process while he is claiming to be so broke and also well along the path to getting even broker

If there are any livestreams of Jones’ press conference (if there is one) im ok with it being posted though I’d HIGHLY PREFER it not be via a source that benefits him (ie infowars, prison planet or the like)

Nothing to see here. Move along.

Here's a video from a few years ago when he had to be deposed for this trial. Initially the lawyers for the Sandy Hook parents were not going to release it because its considered court documents or filings or whatever, but since Jones constantly talked about the trail on his show they said gently caress it and released it to the world.

If you have the time they walk through every step of the conspiracy while asking him to explain himself. Its great watching him squirm and stammer non-answers.

I'm pretty sure at one point he claims he has no idea what he is going to say on his show and someone just hands him a piece of paper that Jones never wrote or saw and Jones just reads whatever is on it, therefore he can't be sued since he is just an innocent talking head. Dude literally tried the Ron Burgundy defense during a depostition.

To give you an idea of the kind of lawyers he's down to at this point his previous lawyer recently posted a video of him doing stand up where he pulled down his pants and said the N word. They've been churning through lawyers constantly as new lawyers come in and learn from the previous exactly how hosed Alex is and that there's basically no possible defense

yeah this judge already laid a default judgement against jones in the previous trial which is basically the legal equivalent of "im sick of your poo poo, you're guilty, we move immediately to the penalty phase" because jones kept delaying with really blatant bad faith stalling tactics and refusing to cooperate with the court

Alex's lawyers wanted to put on a big posterboard claiming that Alex Jones only did 27 hours of coverage on Sandy Hook and that was barely any coverage at all, and the judge threw that it because it wasn't true. The actual true thing was that Alex Jones only provided 27 hours of tape on Sandy Hook and ignored a bunch of discovery requests
