What happened to his lawyer, who accidentally (?) sent his phone conversations to the opposing party?
Nothing yet, but it’s a lot more then just the phone and it’s a huge mess. https://www.emptywheel.net/2022/08/04/its-a-tremendous-amoun...
The phone conversations have also been handed over to the Jan 6 commission, FBI, DOJ etc.
I'm a supporter of Jones being able to spread whatever insane theories he wants whether or not he believes them himself, but he slandered the parents of dead children to the degree that some of the most insane and aggressive people in the world think that they're the agents of a world conspiracy with the intent to enslave the planet. $50 mil is a light judgement.
Does anyone have a link to what he actually said? Now I’m curious. I hadn’t really been aware of this most recent Alex Jones shenanigan.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
The lawsuit was filed in 2018 and Jones has multiple videos as early (maybe earlier) as 2016. I'm not sure how this makes any sense. I think Jones is disgusting and pushing paranoia and fear for a living is disgusting, but I can't understand any world where it's just that a person makes a potentially genuine mistake in their opinion/judgement, explicitly corrects that mistake multiple times and then only multiple yea…
> explicitly corrects that mistake multiple times and then only multiple years after correcting that mistake is sued. Huh? Maybe I missed something, but I'm pretty sure he was still claiming Sandy Hook was a false flag on Joe Rogan as late as 2020
Any suggestion that he's "admitted it was 100% true" are BS. He seems to be allowing (for now) that people really died and at least some of the families were not actors, which is an improvement, but he's not really caught up to reality yet.
A lot of the trial was spent trying to convince the jury that there was some ulterior motive behind the lawsuit, and he's been airing stuff suggesting that the judge and the plaintiff's lawyers are shadowy government agents.
He got off easy considering he was profiting by ruining these people's lives

He also claimed the parents were actors, and it was all done in front of a blue screen:

No one will have a link to everything he actually said, since some unclear amount of it was deleted.
Let me know once he actually transfers a non-zero sum towards either the punitive or compensatory amounts.
I'm a minor Russian political activist and a lot of my friends have had to fled the country in order to avoid persecution. This case and the manner in which the trial has been conducted is night and day difference to what Russian state does to it's citizens. I don't have the time or endurance to describe all the details to you, but just as a simple example — a regional parliament member has been recently sentenced to…

He claimed loudly and often for years; "at one point" makes it sound like an off-hand remark he made once or twice, but that's not really the case. He started backpeddling the minute people filled suit, as any true man of principle fighting the bad guys would do. For years he made factual claims about specific people that are demonstrably and provably untrue (i.e. that they're "crisis actors" who faked the lot), whic…
