#AlexJones #SandyHook #Reaction
How does your lawyer “accidentally” send years of incriminating text messages to the plaintiffs lawyers?! Lmao like he literally PAID for his own guilty verdict 🤦🏾♀️
Gee idk it sure is fishy huh? All I know is Alex Jones is more credible then any of our information outlets. Maybe drop your ignorance and judgementalness and truth might not be so elusive.
@Barron Von Schneider nope , they where alerted they did this 10 days prior to it being released in the court. They had 10 days to contest it. Now if it was brought up in that 10 day period , then he might have been able to get one.... There will be no mistrial since they gave them time to act.
@Barron Von Schneider y'all don't even Google legal terms before you use them?
Its a puppet show
@@peachesandpoets They keep throwing around that term like its some golden card lol. And they are not even using it right. Jones case has nothing in it that would even allow for that. This is the damages phase of the case , he already lost via default judgment because he didn't show up. Lol
I wouldn't let that lawyer fight a speeding ticket
Send him Trump's way.
Lmao.
This is more like the lawyer fighting a speeding ticket for a defendant who claims a hologram was actually driving the car, as it passed a bus on the right side, in the bus loop.
Whether you like jones or not, this is not defamation and will likely win if the case is appealed. Reason being is that there is no evidence that Jones defamed any parent of sandy good victims. Defamation has to have intent and it has to cause substantial injury. The problem is that espousing a theory, as nutty as it may seem, is not by legal definition, defamation. Even if Jones theory is wrong, that means he is misinformed and misguided, but does not mean he has lied, nor does it mean he has defamed someone. Defaming someone has malicious intent. This sets a very dangerous legal precedent for all media. You can't get millions of dollars out of someone simply because your feelings are hurt. The first amendment guarantees the right of free speech, and while defamation is a crime, it has not been proven here.

The First Amendment does not cover lies
Actually it does, you can lie as much as you want. However, the first amendment doesn't keep people from suing you for damages caused by those lies. Just like we get the right to bear arms, but if you shoot someone's car, even by accident, they can sue you to cover the damages. If you shoot off lies and damage someone's reputation, especially on a show where you're making a ton of money by lying, you can be sued for a lot. Not to mention all the harassment and harm to their quality of life caused by Jones. That guy should have been hit much harder. He won't even need to pay half this cost due to state laws... but makes 60+ million every year. More people should sue this dirty lying moneybag.

@@twintwo1429 It’s not malpractice, Jones was hiding evidence from the courts. Since it is evidence that was ordered but never turned over, then it is Jones’ team that was violating court ordered protocol, which means that the malpractice was hiding the evidence, and it is a crime to help your client hide evidence. Lawyer actually saved himself from a shitstorm by turning it over to the other team, which is what you’re supposed to do!
What is Jones' argument to sue his lawyer? "If it wasn't for my lawyer's mistake I would have gotten away with lying under oath in court."
@@twintwo1429 It doesn’t matter, for example if a killer hands over their murder weapon to their lawyer and tells them to hide it, the lawyer is lawfully required to turn over that evidence to the court. They don’t have to say their client was the one who used the weapon, but they CANNOT hide the evidence for their client. It’s called evidence tampering and is obstruction of justice.
@@michaelpickering4602 Very good point!

@BigKandRtv -- What's not amazing to me is that Jones is claiming to be broke. That claim seems to be completely consistent with his character.
Why is it amazing?
Do you personally think that was Alex Jones' repeated lies about the Sandy Hook shooting and the resulting harm done to the parents was disgusting?
In terms of punitive damage it's really a cumulative sum that often times have a record of stacking high; and considering the scale of Alex Jones defamation, anything above 45 million is actually reasonable number
Well it’s actually only 5.5 million dollar. Texas law limits the 45 million to 1.5 million. Sadly no one realizes this
Lol 50 million dollars for having an opinion.
The speech is free. The consequences of lying costs a lot.

Read Ashley bidenz diary and see who yall elected.
I mean, it's entirely possible that it was a huge mistake and they all found out together at the same time. It's like if you type one letter of someone's name in an e-mail and hit send too quickly and it accidentally sends it to "Samantha" instead of "Steven" or something. Also, there are probably rules where, if some type of evidence has already been admitted, all of the attached information is also admissible or something weird like that mah Amin.
can’t wait for NBC’s turn!
It seems weird to you because you're finally being held accountable.
When can we sue all the other media personalities for lying to us that covid vaccines were safe and effective?
The Defense Lawyers’ intern probably packaged up the file and the lawyers didn’t even bother to check before sending it out 😂
That whole sequence in court where the defense was trying everything in the book to throw out Alex’s 300 GB of phone data was hilarious. I highly recommend watching it

This is not about getting money for the plaintiffs. This is about getting justice for the years of persecution and terrorization for people who had to identify their child's smashed body and somehow live with grief and horror.

Whether you like jones or not, this is not defamation and will likely win if the case is appealed. Reason being is that there is no evidence that Jones defamed any parent of sandy good victims. Defamation has to have intent and it has to cause substantial injury. The problem is that espousing a theory, as nutty as it may seem, is not by legal definition, defamation. Even if Jones theory is wrong, that means he is misinformed and misguided, but does not mean he has lied, nor does it mean he has defamed someone. Defaming someone has malicious intent. This sets a very dangerous legal precedent for all media. You can't get millions of dollars out of someone simply because your feelings are hurt. The first amendment guarantees the right of free speech, and while defamation is a crime, it has not been proven here.
I would say that the harassment that ensued by Jones's supporters could constitute substantial injury, pain, and suffering being inflicted on families already going through the hardship of having lost their children.
Texas law also has a lower standard for defamation, in that it only requires *negligence* rather than proving intent. Jones's insistence on crisis actors and that the parents are just brainwashed for so long would make it pretty easy to make a case for willful negligence of reality, if not gross negligence considering the extreme claims he made.
Scariest thing is the net worth of that thing, which says a lot about enormous demand of his psychotic nonsense.

@@letsgojoe3927 It's higher than that.
In Texas, punitive damages may not exceed more than two times the amount
of economic damages plus the amount equal to non-economic damages not
to exceed $750,000 or $200,000, whichever is greater. For instance, if
someone sues a corporation for a brain injury case after suffering an
injury due to gross negligence and this person is awarded $1.5 million
to cover economic loss and $3 million to cover non-economic loss, then
the total amount possible for punitive damages would be $3,750,000 (two
times $1.5 million plus the $750,000 maximum amount from non-economic
damages).
In this example it's 3.75 million.
Tell me something..If all social media has banned Alex Jones WHY ARE THEY SHOWING THIS TRIAL
@Deborah Wentworth -- For one thing, the trial demonstrates why Jones was banned, and it's not promoting his disinformation.
This is disgusting to stand on your sons grave to make money I hope you know GodWill judge you for this moment
delusional
First of all, I am not a AJ Fan nor a conspiracy theorist before anyone accuses me. I also feel very bad for the parents that lost children that day and continue to in other shootings. However, having said that I defend AJ's right to say what he said and have a show questioning anything he likes. He, like all of us should have a right to question things. Also, those opposing his viewpoint should know that no one is entitled not to have their feelings hurt either. It's not something in law.
I understand this trial was about defamation, not hurt feelings. Having watched this trial, I don't think as a juror I would have found him as responsible as the final judgement makes it seem. I don't think 90 minutes over 7 years could have afflicted enough reputation damage to the parents, to make this money judgement reasonable. Alex Jones did not harass or spend nearly as much time focusing on this subject as the media would have you believe. If anyone actually did research in this world, they'd know that. I would have personally supported a judgement of 500,000 dollars and no more had I been a juror.

@@revanninja True but that PER person, cap of 750,000, so the real amount works out to 1,500,000.
@@quantumleaper Yep your right didnt realize I didnt put in the per person part. And I think the base judgement is 4 million
So unless I am missing some numbers 5.5 million should be about the range for the judgement in total.
Could be wrong on the exact amount though.
@@revanninja I have read it like 9 million total, in Texas, that would be the final total he could be on the hook for and that's after the cap. It should be fun when he loses in the higher courts, the Texas and Connecticut were default judgments, since they did show for the Jury Trial.
@@revanninja it's a different situation. Legal experts have chimed in that they may be able to get around the cap in Jones's case.
Huge pain.. and she looks like she is happier than ever.
Why do they need that much money ?
😭 imagine his stress levels now
Alex Jones makes all that money back in 1 month 🤣🤣
He gonna be kickin and screamin in no time... oh wait
@@Interstellar987 how? I can't believe there are some many ignorant people believing him and buying from him.
@@arus2980 For people that are so certain Jones is the devil, you don't seem to know much about Jones or his business dealings.
@@SmokeymcJoint420 I don't want to know things that are based on lies.
Jones claims that he doesn't have the money to pay....Would he be willing to say that under oath???.....I hope so.
Dude that’s hella
Money wtf and why does he have to pay so much that’s stupid af
@Bill Kallas -- Excellent point.
he'll just use the right-wing phrase "it's not lying if you believe it to be true!"
Let's go to the comments to see what the experts think.
Ain’t no way your lawyer accidentally send messages to the plaintiffs lawyers.😂
Read Ashley bidenz diary and see who yall elected.
Alex Jones is so smart and knowledgeable, except when it comes to the things he says, things he does and the lawyers he picks.
If he was smart, he wouldn't be in this mess he created himself.
I honestly trust AJ a lot. Just as long as his lips aren't moving and he's far away from me
I'll bet anyone that he won't have to pay a dime. Plus, look at all the free publicity he's gotten. It's called the Streisand Effect.

Let me get this straight: a man said words on his show, and because he said words, he has to pay a family $49 million? Uh, what?
That’s a gross oversimplification
@@cocoknut5004 Is it though? I wouldn't know. I've never watched his show. But in this video, it sure seems like he just said words, and then got sued for it. That's a dangerous precedent.
welcome to Great Tribulation. Buckle up!
@@aaronhinton92 It is, because at its base this would be grounds to dismiss all defamation cases, which is ludicrous.
@@cocoknut5004 Good point. Defamation/slander/libel is bad. Agreed there. But I honestly can't think of a single instance of defamation that's worth $49 million dollars in damages. Sorry. That's just ludicrous.
I hope that his followers file a lawsuit against him too!
LOL, how much money do these parents need. Haven't they already received millions in donations over the last so many years. This lawsuit just steers me in the direction that the shooting could of been staged.
