its a civil trial, not a criminal trial. the reason you protect the identity of jurors is so that they aren't threatened by organized crime when a member of the crime group is facing criminal prosecution. alex jones may be a desperate piece of poo poo but he is probably not going to attempt to murder members of the jury

His followers might.

It's wild to me that they were able to find people in Texas who could be unbiased jurors WRT Info Wars. I guess not everyone is as terminally online as us, though.

There might be people who just moved to Austin that don't know of Alex Jones. No way you could live there for more than 2 years without running into him or one of his idiots.

Since this is a civil court matter, a decision can't end up being appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, can it? Because I don't see them letting Alex be on the hook for hundreds of millions.

Why does she not just throw this entire operation under the bus instead of trying to dodge a bunch of questions that Mark has all the receipts for? Is she just that loving stupid and believe everything Jones says? I can't believe anyone involved with the operation doesn't know what the score is here.

She is playing the part her bosses assigned her.

Just saying Alex got really pro Russian when they started working together. :tinfoil:

I remember when Alex was invited on a local radio shows lunch hour every week to do a "freedom nugget" bit. Alex was 100% sincere while the hosts just made fun of them in subtle ways. Sad to think that may have exposed people to Alex that didn't already know him and set some people down the path of Infowars crazies.

These jury questions seem not great for Alex. Definitely sounds like a lot of the jurors hate him.

That is just the general state of people that are near Alex for too long that are not true believers. Have been within 100 feet of him a few times and he just exudes an aura of poo poo that makes you hate him.
