Asked Bankston how the punitive cap works- he said it’s a “reasonable multiple,” no higher than the 10. Could be as high as about $40m— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 4, 2022

In addition to sharing Alex Jones' phone with J6C, the Bankston said he's going to share it with the CT plaintiffs, which is where it came from in the first place. So Jones' NEXT trial may be far more taxing (he) than Texas.— emptywheel (@emptywheel) August 4, 2022

So here's a fun bonus: the phone story also mentioned medical records that shouldn't have been shipped over, yes? Well guess what. (This is Jones's Connecticut lawyer being yelled at -- and note the followup tweet detailed how his Texas one is getting in the neck too.)

As the jury deliberates, two useful notes
Caught up with Bankston to ask about punitive damages cap- short answer is that he believes they can argue that the $750k cap doesn’t apply in this case because damages were guaranteed by the default, and is ready to challenge the constitutionality of the cap— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 5, 2022
to set expectation: the jury will return a punitive damages verdict between a dollar and $145.9m. Either Judge Gamble or the appellate court will cap that at $750k and then it’ll either be challenged or dealt with in bankruptcy— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 5, 2022

keep in mind that this is about to bump up against Texas's punitive damages cap. that may get challenged in court, or it may become largely irrelevant in bankruptcy court.— dan solomon (@dansolomon) August 5, 2022

I'm pretty sure all the J6 committee needed to do was make a document request without even issuing a subpoena. Bankston sounded eager to cooperate.

Uh... about those "intimate" texts with Roger Stone...
The wife of conservative radio host Alex Jones told Insider on Tuesday that she was "unaware" her husband sent a nude photo of her to former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone. The illicit picture was among a trove of text messages that Jones' own lawyer accidentally turned over to opposing counsel in a defamation damages trial involving the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim.

interesting that this lawyer has the discretion to release this kind of info, so openly
I guess if Jones' lawyer didn't specifically make it privileged, than maybe he can? But I could also see this kind of thing being a grounds for appeal

It sounds like the lawyer was confirming that Alex Jones said the photo was there, not releasing that information himself.
