BigglesSWE posted:That was one of my favourite bits from an earlier deposition with Alex himself. Mark laid out some document citing it for some sort of evidence and Alex went “according to you!” And Mark immediately went “no Mr. Jones, according to YOU, InfoWars handed over this document to us, YOU deem it relevant”. They literally just did this again with Daria. “Ms Karpova, your company gave us this video.”

Tree Dude posted:It's always jarring to see the juxtaposition of the court in casual mode on break vs formal mode when they are going. Even for this clown show. This one is especially funny because in lots of trials, opposing counsels are friendly to each other during breaks or friendly to the judge. Even in the Rudy shitshow case in PA, they were still pretty friendly. But nobody has any interest in socializing with Jones attorneys at all.

Grand Fromage posted:Yep. The entire Republican party is InfoWars now. Which is bad for Alex since he's now redundant--Tucker Carlson does exactly the same stuff Alex does, but doesn't look like a complete nutcase in the process so it's easier to swallow. Tucker realized a few things that Alex didn’t because Alex seems to be a true believer: 1) It’s easier to spread conspiracy theories if it’s just nebulous “them” or “globalists”, etc behind things than lizard people who turn frogs gay. 2) A unsurprising but disappointingly large number of white people will follow you and share KKK and Nazi ideals if you just find other words for all the concepts. 3) You have to make it look like a legit news broadcast for people to take it seriously. By sharing the exact same stuff as Alex Jones but with more sanitized words, Tucker has made his followers into American Nazis without the label. Other groups like OANN have tried to capture the same audience but only get the most extreme fragment because they totally ignore point 2 and play loose with point 1. Tucker is never going to be in the same spot as Alex is because he’s much more careful with his rhetoric and makes it as close to the line as possible without going over. This makes Tucker 100x as dangerous as someone like Alex because of his reach.

This is the most bizarre strategy. Just play rambling Jones clips to try and purge the jurors memory banks.And it’s not like these clips are particularly exonerating either.

Wait, are they really trying to give more detail to the conspiracy theories as a defense??? Like are they trying to say that Alex legitimately believed there was a government conspiracy (and wink wink, jurors, maybe there was) so they should take it easy on him? Jesus Christ these people are stupid.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:It's already been determined that that was very not okay. I think the defense if very confused about what they are arguing. They contradict their own arguments and objections repeatedly. The best I can gather is that their argument is similar to what you say. Alex legitimately believed children died but that the government was involved and this was a conspiracy to disarm America. So everything he did was in pursuit of protecting rights and free speech. He may have minimized the deaths of the children and hurt the parents but it was unintentional on his crusade to save the country. So clearly, you should fine him the smallest amount. Edit: the problem with all that being of course that the defense is not coherently arguing it and properly tailoring their evidence to the argument. They somehow think by showing whole shows or segments that they are making him seem more like a regular media personality when they should have focused the clips on him acknowledging children died and implying the government was responsible and it was up to the people to investigate. Now that’s a bullshit argument but it’s at least a coherent argument. Saltpowered fucked around with this message at 18:16 on Jul 28, 2022 |

TheWorldsaStage posted:Isn't that like basic prep for any witness ever? Answer only the question you are asked in as few words as possible is preparing for trial 101. Answering a question that is bad for you with Yes/No or a very simple sentence is almost always better than rambling about it trying to justify it. This is another area where the defense is really, really bad because even their rehearsed answers are too drat long. If Daria was a competent corporate representative almost all her answers would have been Yes/No/I do not know/I do not recall/Yes and (10 words or less).

Hungry Computer posted:In this case all the "creditors" are various other companies owned by Alex Jones and his parents. Those will all get pierced easily. Corporate law 101. And even if one of them doesn’t, it will get put as a secondary creditor to the judgments. Unless you have true legitimate financing like a mortgage, you are gonna get pushed down the creditor line.

Devor posted:If for some reason Discovery is so bad for you that it's better to refuse to participate and get defaulted, I could see it Yeah, if FSS hypothetically had a bunch of evidence of way worse crimes that they though they could suppress by not willing participating in discovery and getting a default, maybe. In that case, settling would be the correct response in 99.9% of situations. I guess there could be some situation where they didn't want information to get out and were willing to roll the dice that a default judgment against them and subsequent damages would still be less than a settlement. I don't think any of that calculus is present in this case though. Alex Jones is just a baby-man who has thrown multiple tantrums and thinks he's smarter than everyone else and will win with his shell games.

Digital Jedi posted:https://twitter.com/openargs/status/1554548968389877762?s=20&t=JI6h3nmWqHZhhBcvw1sLdg Yeah, this is the correct legal strategy. You do not have to cross examine every witness. You should only cross examine witnesses when it benefits you. If opposing counsel puts on a witness that is extremely harmful to your case and you have no legitimate way of challenging them, you loving ignore the witness and don't give them any more attention.

Youth Decay posted:Are these the jury questions? They're trash. It’s important to remember that most jurors end up being absolute idiots. Think about the baseline for most Americans as your starting point. Then realize you are in Texas. Many people who can self-select out of jury through various means. Then the vore dire process can thin other thinkers out of the herd as well. You are usually left with some dumb motherfuckers that get all their news from red or blue cable and struggle to think critically. I’ve seen some real basic poo poo be too complex for lost jurors to understand.
