Leave me out of this

He didn't say Sandy Hook was a hoax, he said it was a hoagie

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

Sounded like there was at least one potentially spoiler on the jury.

Yeah it's a real question. Guess we'll see.

InfoWars punitive verdict is in unanimously: roughly $44 million.

Well then!

As noted earlier

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.

News: The Alex Jones texts have been turned over to the 1/6 committee, I’m told. https://t.co/s1kQg6AT1g

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.

Do it like a J6

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.

where is that from?

and uh ... more importantly ... who is disclosing the contents of the texts?

xp - sorry, meant to add a link to where I saw it https://www.insider.com/alex-jone-wife-upset-nude-photo-roger-stone-2022-8

the nude was actually of Alex

"I am upset that he took privilege to send the image to someone without my knowledge. However, that's really the least of my problems right now," Wulff-Jones added.

It is not clear what Wulff-Jones was referring to.

she was on the toilet at the time probably

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.

my brain broke a little on the "sending a picture of your wife to Roger Stone" part

when you're downriver, you'll take anything you can get

Are we at peak Alex Jones-defamation trials yet?

Never enough.

FINISH HIM

Popped in a bit, and no surprise that the Jones attorney already seems to be pissing off the judge.

lol she literally just yelled at him like a child.

for the record
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLZnOaz1SBA

makes good points

Seems to be doing OK.

I really want to see Jones' head explode a la Scanners. Seems imminent.

All the supplements in the world couldn't stop the progress of Bubba Harkonnen's degenerative disease.

I had to research that reference and now I can't stop laughing.

Mattei: Even though Alex Jones is not a journalist, he tells his audience that he will deliver the truth in journalism, correct?

Paz: That’s also a tag line, yes

On cross-examination today, Alex Jones is confronted on cross that he has been calling the judge (sitting next to him) a “tyrant” on his show during the trial, while showing lasers coming out of her eyes. pic.twitter.com/kjd5rcZyjM

Awk-ward

as you do

Judge just threatened Jones and his attorney with contempt. Basically Jones would be answering a question, and just keep rambling so loudly and quickly beyond the scope of the question that his attorney couldn't object fast enough to stop Jones from spouting off. When the attorney explained the problem, the judge basically threw her hands up and said there is no way she can stop him from spouting off (which she has warned him about), let alone long enough to address each objection. In the end she essentially said, control your client, control yourself, or you both risk a contempt hearing.

Infowars founder Alex Jones lashed out as he testified in a tense Connecticut courtroom Thursday as part of a defamation trial that will determine how much he should pay to the relatives of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre.

The far-right conspiracy theorist and host, known for emotional outbursts on his shows, appeared frustrated at several points and said he would not make further apologies for popularizing the false claim that the shooting in Newtown, Conn., was a hoax.

“Is this a struggle session? Are we in China?” Jones asked, referring to Maoist rallies where people were publicly humiliated, after an attorney for the plaintiffs, Chris Mattei, pointed out the victims’ family members in the courtroom. “I’ve already said I’m sorry hundreds of times, and I’m done saying I’m sorry.”

...In the hours-long session, Jones used one of Mattei’s questions to plug the address of a website accepting cryptocurrency contributions. He also answered “no” to the question of whether his credibility was the most important thing to his audience, insisting that his focus was on “crushing the globalists.”

“Alex Jones is probably the most unsympathetic litigant I’ve seen in quite a long period of time,” said Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Marymount University.

...In one exchange, Mattei accused Jones of putting targets on Sandy Hook parents’ backs, in an apparent reference to his claim that they were crisis actors. The attorney referenced parents in the courtroom, calling them “real people,” to which Jones responded: “Just like all the Iraqis you liberals killed and loved.”

“You’re unbelievable. You switch on emotions, on and off, when you want. You’re just ambulance chasing,” Jones added.

Breaking: Absolutely astronomical figures in this InfoWars lawsuit out of Connecticut.

Alex Jones owes $229 million to just the first three plaintiffs, all family members of Sandy Hook victims.

There are nine more plaintiffs to go.

🥳🥳🥳

Scant justice but I’ll take it

the total is over one billion now, which would bankrupt Infowars. I haven’t followed closely - how many more rounds of appeals do they have before they actually have to pay that much and go bankrupt? Is this actually happening or is this a vision of something good that could theoretically happen but in the distant future I will learn did not happen?

Don’t worry, Peter Thiel and numerous billionaires we’ve never heard of will pass the hat around and raise the money.

if only we had taken the "billionaires shouldn't exist" argument more seriously!

*shakes hand at heavens, rends garments*

When this is all ya got

Alex Jones after his billion dollar damages verdict: "They want to scare us away from question Uvalde or Parkland. We're not going away. We're not going to stop."

He's now selling "vitamineral fusion" from the InfoWars store.

they're suppositories, pack of 40 in a bottle for $4,000 each

which supplements can help me increase the intensity of the already intense tan on my balls?
