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.

lmao the judge was jokingly offering to go get a drink with known-extreme-alcoholic Rudy Giuliani at one of those, and literally everyone hates each other with extreme vitriol in this one

While I agree that Alex can't get out of this, you're being lovely here. There is a reason this case is such a big deal, and that people are worried. Can you think of a single other instance in the last 20 years where a white multi millionaire was forced to pay for thier many crimes? Its easy to understand why people are skeptical.

Name one white millionaire who has skated who earned a default judgment

Jones didn't play nice with the system, so the system is going to make an example of him. Jones isn't a big-time power player with connections, he's a belligerent rear end in a top hat no one likes who has no value to the people that run and maintain the system. He lost the usual protections given to the rich and influential by his inability to cooperate. Anyone who had an interest in defending Jones at first, has jumped ship because the man himself is impossible to defend and he's just more trouble than he's worth. This isn't a normal Rich White Guy in Trouble case, and if you keep thinking that it is, you're not paying attention

Yeah, Rich White Guy Seeing No Consequences requires:
1) Adequate high-paid legal counsel;
2) Listening to adequate, high-paid legal counsel;
3) Having anything resembling standing in the judicial system.

Default judgments pretty much negate all 3, especially the third one.

Yeah, it deserves to be repeated. Rich White Guy Justice is only reserved for people who treat the court with respect. If you gently caress around to the degree that Jones has the judicial system will absolutely grind you to dust worse than Non-Rich-White-Guys if only to make an example out of you.

Jones already is no longer in control of his companies, he pissed the bankruptcy court Judge off so much that they ordered a government Auditor to run his companies and get detailed ledgers of Jones assets, up to and including the shell companies run by Jones' parents. They can literally sell the sheet rock off the office walls around Jones in the middle of a broadcast like it is The Sims and he's basically got no recourse.

That's the biggest problem I've had reading people kramer into this thread and the trump thread to spout off nonsense about Jones getting off scot-free, he literally put himself in lower legal standing with the entire American judicial system than a homeless dude with a PD who got picked up for pissing on the street at 5AM.

Multiple levels lower, to the point where he might as well not exist outside having to pay cursory attention. He did everything in his power to negate his rich white guy power, and the judicial system will respond in kind if you do that.

edit: it's not like a rich guy talking about a plea and getting out of it, it's all happening in realtime because he defaulted. His assets were already forfeited to the government. He doesn't have recourse because he didn't play the game. Always play the game, no matter who you are.
