Alex Jones is back in court after getting reamed out by Judge Maya Guerra Gamble yesterday for lying under oath about his finances and his failure to comply with discovery.

Jones is back on the witness stand for the jury, who was not in the room for yesterday's fireworks.
Jones describes the "truther" movement as a "spectrum" with "some people who don't think anything is real, and I think they're crazy." On the other end would be the people who believe the official narrative, whom Jones describes as even crazier.
Impressively, Jones takes no responsibility for the fact that so many people believe absolute nonsense.
Jones testifies about his various sources, conspiracy theorists such as Wolfgang Halbig, James Fetzer, and Steve Pieczenik. thedailybeast.com/ginni-thomas-e…
Jones said he *had* to comment on Sandy Hook because innocent gun owners were being blamed for the violence.

FFS, Reynal is already touching that hot stove again, letting Jones testify about the total time Infowars spent on SH, info unknown since Jones refused discovery.
Reynal asks if Infowars took "a strong position" on whether anyone died at Sandy Hook. Jones says he was skeptical because he knew of so many false flag ops.

Reminder, 20 first graders and 6 staffers were murdered. This isn't something on which there can be "a position."
Jones refers to "a controversy" because some information about the massacre was "classified or redacted," making people suspicious.

Again, he takes no responsibility for engendering public doubts about the grieving families and their loss.
LOL, Jones's lawyer Reynal is at it *again* asking Jones about the total coverage of Sandy Hook at Infowars.

He refused to answer this question in discovery — he cannot introduce evidence of it now.

Plaintiffs' lawyer Bankston objects.
After a sidebar, Reynal redirects. Jones says he thinks it was about 4hrs.

Jones admits he did say SH was staged years ago, but says he doesn't believe it now and blames bad sources for misleading him. He whines about his divorce and the media not letting it go.
Jones says he "tried to walk it back before I got sued" because "I got my head right and stopped drinking for a while."

Drunk defamation, who among us, right?
You know how it is when you're knocking back a couple brews and you call a bunch of grieving parents "crisis actors."

Anyway, Jones stopped drinking "for a while," so it's cool, right?
WTF, Reynal is letting Jones whine about being "weaponized" by the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign.

Poor, poor Alex Jones, demonized by mean old Hillary Clinton.
vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Jones complains that coverage of his Sandy Hook lies "stole my identity and used my identity as a political tool."

"I wanted to be able to set the record straight b/c it was hurting me and hurting my family."

OMFG, this man is on trial for lying about the parents of dead kids.
Jones whines that he is terribly put upon, because he eventually recanted his lies, after convincing 24% of the country that maybe Sandy Hook didn't happen.

Won't someone think of poor Alex Jones!
Jones complains that his Father's Day appearance on Megyn Kelly's show was deceptively edited to make it appear that he wasn't sorry.

Reminder, after the Kelly show, Infowars Owen Shroyer attacked plaintiff Neil Heslin saying he'd lied to Kelly about holding his dead child.
My coverage of the trial yesterday:
abovethelaw.com/2022/08/judge-…
Reynal plays a video of Jones on his own show screaming about the media beating him up — the very same stuff he wasn't allowed to say on the stand because it's hearsay.

"Megyn is playing along with it, she's in with the Sandy Hook groups!"
Jones complains about being made into a "straw man."

A guy who hoovered up hundreds of millions of dollars destroying people's faith in objective reality is pissed about deceptively edited videos and a "false narrative."
Lordy, this video is still going. Jones is screeching about "the MSM" being dinosaurs, terrified of the meteor of "alternative media" set to destroy them.

Jones is simultaneously the avenging angel of truth and a poor, defenseless victim. Who watches this stuff ON PURPOSE?
We've finally come to the end of Jones's insane screed.

Jones is back on the stand to say that he agreed to appear on Megyn Kelly's show because he was tired of being "used as a pawn."

Oh, poor Alex!
Jones is laying it on thick, coughing and playing up his supposed larynx problem.
Asked why he didn't fire Owen Shroyer for saying that Neil Heslin lied about holding his son Jesse's body, Jones said it was Megyn Kelly's fault for airing an inconsistency that would be questioned.

"Owen's a really classy guy ... wouldn't do anything to hurt people."
Reynal: Did you make money off your Sandy Hook coverage?

Jones: No we lost supporters and money ... it was just like a cold sore, it would resurface occasionally.

Jones goes on to complain that everyone expects him to comment on mass shootings, now.
Jones just said being deplatformed by Google and Facebook is "like being in prison, you're still on earth, but you're in prison and people have to come visit you.

"Social credit score is being tested on us, like China has, they admit that," he complains.
"It's next level 1984" Jones complains, calling it "persecution" and "identity theft" that he can't respond to comments about him on Facebook.

A man whose show reaches millions of people every single day says he has "no voice."
Reynal: As you sit here today, what do you think happened at SH in 2012?

Jones: It was a coverup, they had warning, that's been in the New York Times ...

Bankston: Objection, hearsay!

Judge: Sustained

Jones: But...

Judge: Sustained, this is not a conversation
Jones is giving a soliloquy on his own greatness, as a warrior for free speech, fighting the "military industrial complex."

He claims credit for exposing the lie about WMD in Iraq and Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking.

"We've inspired a lot more good people than bad people."
Oh boy, Plaintiffs' atty Mark Bankston is up for cross examination.
Bankston: You taking this trial seriously?

Jones: Yes

Bankston: You want the world to believe that this trial is scripted?

Jones: Aren't I not supposed to answer that?

Judge: Answer

Jones: I believe if I'm not allowed to say I'm innocent, that's not free speech or America.
Bankston wants to introduce a video of Jones shittalking the judge. Reynal says he hasn't seen it. Jury is going on morning break, so we're getting the video.

Judge says let's not do this with however many thousand impeachment videos you have. Gimme all of 'em at once.
Video is of Owen Shroyer shouting over and over that the trial is "scripted" because Jones isn't allowed to argue innocence.

Reminder: Jones could have done just that, but he spent YEARS refusing to participate in discovery, and got a default judgment.
abovethelaw.com/2021/11/alex-j…
Correction: The video is of Robert Barnes, an Infowars host and a lawyer who repped Jones in this very case. LOL.

Bankston: You've repeatedly broadcast pictures of our judge on fire, haven't you?

Jones, looking at video: That's justice on fire.
Bankston: You talk all the time about government agents being pedophiles?

Jones: ...

Bankston: On Thursday you connected Judge Gamble to pedophilia because this judge works with Child Protective Services

Jones: No ...

Bankston: Your honor, I'd like to admit another video
Barnes video: "Judge Maya Gamble comes from CPS and has been exposed for human trafficking and pedophilia"

Jones complains that he hasn't been allowed to see the full clip.
Bankston: What context could make this okay? This is you taking this trial seriously and in good faith?

Jones: This image is the judge burning lady liberty, this is the judge burning freedom.

Bankston: I sure hope your audience understands that distinction.

(paraphrase)
And another impeachment video of Jones shittalking the jury, which he says was deliberately chosen to be "extremely blue collar folks, half that jury panel does not know who I am."

Jones says they live in "blue city bubbles where people do not know what planet they are on."
Bankston is asking Jones about the eleventy-seven other massacres which Jones described as "false flags" with "crisis actors."

Oklahoma City, Parkland, Boston Marathon ...
Bankston: Is there a mass tragedy in America in the past 15yrs you have *not* called a false flag op?

Jones: No.

Bankston: Remember when you said something was "synthetic" if it happened but was being "provacateurized?"

And another video — too early for alcohol?
Video is of Alex Jones saying that Sandy Hook was "staged" with "all actors."

Jones mumbles some nonsense about it not being a lie because he believed it then.
Bankston: Your corporate rep testified that you knew in 2014 that your Sandy Hook "experts" James Fetzer and Wolfgang Halbig were crazy.

Jones: She's mistaken, we don't have a corporate rep, we hired her later for this lawsuit.

Bankston: You didn't use those guys after 2015?
Jones just testified that he "put a ban" on Infowars coverage of SH in early 2015.

Bankston produces an email from Dec 2015 from Inf host Paul Joseph Watson saying "this SH stuff is killing us."

If Bankston debunks every lie Jones told on the stand, we'll be here til Christmas.
Jones attempts to disown his producer Dan Bidondi, who testified last week
Bankston is taking Jones apart, showing that Jones relied in 2017 bon the sources they all knew in 2014 were loons, including saying things like "Sandy Hook wasn't an operating school in 2012," and demanding to see the bodies.
Jones: I didn't see the email about the quack sources.

Bankston: You just testified that you stopped relying on those sources in 2014.
The penny has dropped for Jones, who finally realizes that he has been caught in a bunch of lies and has started coughing and claiming a faulty memory.

Jones: I don't remember what you're talking about.

Bankston, sarcastically: Sure
Bankston: You testified yesterday that you complied with discovery.

Jones: [Hack, snort] Yes

Bankston: You testified you had no texts on SH?

Jones: [horkkkkkk] Sure

Bankston: I'd like to enter an exhibit into evidence ...
Bankston has put up a text between Jones and Paul Joseph Watson for Jones to read aloud.

Jones, pretending to expel a lung, can't read it so Bankston does.

"This video is of medical students learning to intubate," Watson says, "Sandy Hook over again."

Jones's reply: "Got it."
Jones claims he turned over his phone to "the boys" they couldn't find 'em.

Reminder: Jones defaulted in this case because he refused to cooperate with discovery.
Bankston: Your atty's messed up, 12 days ago they sent me your whole phone, and that is how I know you lied to me about not having any mssgs about SH

Jones, spluttering: I gave techs my phone

B: You testified that YOU searched the phone

J: I did. That's how you got it.
Bankston: You know what perjury is?

Jones: Yes

Bankston: You know you can assert your Fifth Amendment rights?
Bankston: You testified yesterday that you don't use email?

Jones: Just personal stuff, broken sprinklers.

Bankston: You testified us you didn't have email.

Jones: If someone said they had emails from you about SH, they'd be lying?

Jones: ...
Jones: I don't have an Infowars email

Bankston: We didn't ask for Infowars email, we asked for ALL emails

Jones: I never send emails myself

Bankston: Mr. Jones, is this your email?

Jones: [long pause] I must have dictated that to my assistant
Haha, now we're getting to Jones's lies yesterday about his thin profit margins.

Bankston whips out texts regarding profitability of prepper meals, the same texts Jones refused to turn over during discovery.
Jones: I did turn them over to my atty, that's how you got 'em

Bankston: You understand that when your attorney sent me your whole phone, he didn't mean to do that?

Reynal: Objection!
Bankston points out that there are no Bates numbers on the text messages, because Jones's legal team didn't put them into evidence.
Bahahaha, Bankston is introducing emails to Jones from his bookkeeper celebrating how wildly profitable his business is, totally contradicting Jones's rambling testimony yesterday that he only earns a 20% profit on food sales and is broke.
Bankston: You testified that deplatforming cost you everything

Jones, sensing a trap: Not everything ...

B: Here's the P&L showing you make upwards of $100K a day and even got more profitable after deplatforming

J: Those nos are wrong

B: We'd know if you partic in discovery
Bankston, holding a $1 bill: Are you aware that after the hundreds of millions you earned, your atty says that THIS is all you should pay the plaintiffs?

Jones: What about the New York Times lying about WMDs?

(Yes, for real)
Reynal is back for redirect: You trusted us to do a good job?

Jones: Yes

Reynal: No further questions.
And now the jury is excused to formulate its questions for Jones.

This should be AMAZING.

Bankston is getting many hugs and backpats from co-counsel. Deservedly.
Questions for the previous witnesses have been of the "when did you stop beating your wife" variety. Expect something along the lines of "how can you live with yourself" and many versions of "how much money is every penny you have."
Bankston tells Reynal he has *everything* off Jones's phone, including a bunch of confidential depositions, and advises Reynal that he should probably worry about his atty-client comms being breached.

"Will you send it to me?" Reynal asks.
Odds that Bankston knows those mikes are still live: ONE HUNDRED PERCENT
Bankston, chatting to colleagues: You know what nobody's talked about yet? What happens when that phone goes to law enforcement?
Reynal, who has a pending sanctions motion against him in the other Texas Sandy Hook case and another coming in this one, on top of apparently sending his client's phone to opposing counsel, is sitting quietly contemplating his life choices.
Jury Qs are back. There is one juror who keeps talking about semiotics and crazy stuff, clearly that is who wants to ask a Q about a 2006 Chris Hitchens piece about cartoons offensive to Muslims.

That Q is rejected.
Presumably semiotics juror is the one asking about the theory of "mass shooting contagion" and Infowars's obligation to minimize harm in reporting.

I think they tossed this question.
There are a lot of questions about Jones's net worth and annual income, plus several on lessons learned from this and whether Jones will supervise his employees better going forward, and whether the trial is fair.

Most of these questions are getting in.
They'd like to bring the jury back in, but Jones is ... umm, where is he?
Oh, TG, he's here with his platoon of body guards. Can't be too careful with ANTIFA on the prowl.
Q re theory of mass shooting contagion: What is media responsibility?
A: Media does inspire copycats, but is not responsible for damages.

Q: Why don't you attempt to minimize harm?
A: We've learned a lot, so we barely covered Uvalde.
Q: Why do you think SH was a conspiracy?
A: Because I've seen so many conspiracies, "when you're a hammer, everything looks like a nail," I knew I was innocent, we subconsciously overcorrected because we felt like it was being blamed on gun owners.
Q: Will you change what you do going forward based on this trial?
A: Yes, i've never been like corporate media who lies, but we'll do better
Q: Are you responsible for your employees because they are so loyal to you?
A: Yes...
Q: If you are genuinely sorry, how do you plan to show rather than tell it? Will you join Scarlett Lewis's Choose Love effort?
A: Yes, I want to show the world I'm not the SH guy, want to apologize and make it better
Q: Will you train your employees better?
A: Yes.
Q: As a person who doesn't like clipped videos, what precautions will you take to avoid?
A: It's been a long time since we did that, we did that three weeks ago, I got so mad I smashed up my office. I don't want to be wrong, i don't want to lie like corp media.
Q: If you only mentioned SH rarely, is it your stance that there should be no punishment for rarely breaking the law?
A: We paid a massive price.

Judge: Yes or no

Jones: I didn't do it on purpose
Q: What is your definition of blue collar?
A: People who work so hard they can't follow all the things I'm saying, who keep their heads down and keep the world running
Q: Where did you get the idea that the jury was blue collar?
A: I read a lot of things
Q: What compensation do you think would be appropriate?
A: [argle bargle crying poor] Any compensation about $2M will sink us
Judge: NO
Jones: Whatever you think is apprpriate
Q: Have you ever told your listeners that you are a pundit and not a journalist?
A: Constantly
Q: Is this a fair trial?
A: [Rambling bullshit]
Judge: Rein it in
Jones: I've been found guilty by a judge, this isn't America. I understand, we're an old Republic, maybe it's time to go.
Q: What is annual income of Infowars?
A: $60-70M, but those were our best years

(Remember he said he was destroyed by deplatforming?)
Q: What have you done to improve standards at Infowars?
A: We're more careful because people twist everything we say. I didn't realize how powerful we are.
Plaintiffs and Defense both rest. TG!

Jury is out for lunch.
Just like to point out that Jones, who claims to factcheck everything and never use single-source video, got taken by a deepfake on Twitter.
reuters.com/article/factch…
And we're back for jury instructions.
Jones is dutifully horking and schnorking to prove to the jury that he is truly, pitifully sick.
Plaintiffs attorney is up for closing arguments, on the theme of cruelty and money.
"There may be different levels of truth at Infowars, but not in reality," attorney Kyle Farrar tells the jury.

"You can't recklessly tell lies," he says, "but if you do you have to pay for it."

"Speech is free, but you have to pay for your lies."
Farrar says that if you defame someone, you issue a retraction to minimize the harm, you don't do it over and over for years on end.
Farrar highlights the Infowars trick of treating every effort by legit media to correct the record as evidence of conspiracy or coverup.

Contrast with Jones's insistence that his eventual repudiation of lies about Sandy Hood exonerates him.
"This isn't a fender bender. This is a decade of lies," Farrar tells the jury, saying that the plaintiffs "live their lives in fear of people who believe the lies and the hate" spewed by defendants."
"It's all from Alex Jones," Farrar says, tracing the harassment Heslin and Lewis suffers directly to the Infowars.

"There's nothing out there close."
"What's hard for them is to know that the motive is money, when someone is profiting off your pain, off the death of your child," Farrar continues, alluding to the massive profits Jones reaps off the supplements and prepper meals he flogs at Infowars.
"Every 'I'm sorry' has a 'but,'" Farrar says.

But Megyn Kelly, but the mainstream media, but the government.
Farrar go through all the times where the defendant claimed to be the real victim: Jones crying that he was deplatformed, Owen Shroyer saying he wished he'd never aired the segment because it ruined his career, Daria testifying that people think Jones was the shooter, etc.
Farrar argues for verdict above $100M

"What does it cost Jones to steal what he stole from the plaintiffs?"

"What does it cost to destroy people's reputations ... all to sell more prepper gear?"

"What is going to take to get Alex Jones & his co to pay for what they broke?"
Farrar points to Heslin's testimony that Alex Jones started the fight, but he intends to end it. He concludes by telling the jury that they have the power to end the fight with their verdict.

Excellent closing.
Funny hot mike between Jones and the doc filmmaker in the room.

Jones complains about "triple jeopardy" with his 3 SH trials.

"Are you going to the CT trial?" filmmaker asks

Jones starts to answer, but his lawyer put a hand on him, says "he'll do what his lawyer tells him"
Spoiler Alert: Alex Jones WILL NOT do what his lawyer tells him.
Reynal is up for his close. He purports to have been honored to share this experience with the jury, hopes to "help" them sort through the evidence.

And if there's one thing Andino Reynal is good at, it's sorting through evidence.
Reynal reminds the jury that this is the phase of the trial where they determine compensatory damages, that there will be another phase for punitive damages.

"Where is the evidence," Reynal asks.

He's arguing that the plaintiffs haven't proved actual harm from Jones.
Reynal says that politicians and the media "descended on Sandy Hook like vultures" after the shooting.

"They came and they reported, and they reported irresponsibly," he says, blaming the mainstream media for feeding the "truthers."

Well ... the guy has balls, give him that.
"Alex ran with a story, he made a mistake, he was going through a hard time," Reynal tells jury.

"That mistake was weaponized by the same political forces that had descended on SH, and it was magnified and amplified by political forces" in the 2016 election, he says.
"His platform isn't so big," Reynal says incredulously, "This is not the NYT, it's not CNN, this is a talkshow in TX."

"Not that many people were listening."
Channeling his client, Reynal says that "Neil and Scarlett's grief was weaponized."

"The plaintiffs have excellent lawyers, and they have spared no expense," Reynal goes on, suggesting that his client is the weaker party.
"In this room, truth comes from evidence," Reynal tells the jury in his best pathos-invoking voice.

Which is big talk for a guy whose client just got spanked on the witness stand for telling alllll the lies.
"This can be a stressful profession, & I have a hobby. I shoot a bow and arrow, it helps me to concentrate on one thing and clear my mind."

This leads to tortured analogy where Reynal suggest that lots of people said arrows, who can say if Jones's arrows damaged plaintiffs.
We're like five seconds from "if the glove does not fit, you must acquit" here
"There was no call to action, none!" Andino insists, as Farrar riffles the thousands of pages of his rebuttal statement.
"You all are smart people, you wouldn't be on this jury if you weren't smart people," Reynal says, before wondering if the real culprit is Adam Lanza's mother who bought him the gun, the truthers, the mainstream media, the politicians, or perhaps Megyn Kelly?
Reynal says $150M is too high a verdict because if you stacked it up it would weigh as much as 8 elephants.
Reynal says that Alex Jones acknowledged on the witness stand that the children actually were murdered at Sandy Hook and he apologized, so, we're cool, right?

"I hope to God that this process has been good," he says to plaintiffs. "I hope to God that you've gotten closure."
LOL, that was fast.

Jones has been fighting to stop the Jan 6 Committee getting his phone metadata. So now the J6C is going to get them from Plaintiffs' counsel.
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Reynal says the evidence shows Plaints victimized 4 times: by Lanza, by truthers, by politicians, and by those people who took their grief and weaponized it.

But not the guy who called them crisis actors and said maybe their son never existed, obviously.
"Alex Jones may not be to your particular taste, but millions of Amerincans tune in to be informed, entertained, have their voices heard," says the lawyer who just called his client some little talk show host in Austin who no one listens to.
Reynal closes with Martin Niemöller's "first they came for the communists..."

To defend Alex Jones, who rails daily against (((globalists))) and (((Soros))) and the (((cabal))).

Where I come from, we call that chutzpah. Then we spit on the ground.
vox.com/policy-and-pol…
Honestly, I'm just IN SHOCK from that close. Coopting a Holocaust survivor's statement to defend a guy who screams about a "Jewish mafia" is so disgusting.
tabletmag.com/sections/news/…
Farrar is back up for rebuttal.

"We're still living Alex Jones's conspiracy world," where the lawyers are weaponizing the plaintiffs, the jury was handpicked, the judge is deep state.

"That's the spin Jones wants to put on this verdict."
"They called them liars for 10 years to make money, and they're calling them liars here to save money," Farrar lays into the Jones defense.
Farrar is incredulous a suggestion that Heslin and Lewis didn't listen to Jones's show — "why would they listen to that?" — and thus weren't harmed when his lies spread all over the world.
"The apology is fake. It means nothing to Alex Jones because he doesn't mean it," Farrar says, pointing out the preposterousness of an apology when Reynal doesn't even include Jones on the list of people who harmed the plaintiffs.
Reynal called the death of their child a "pre-existing condition." But, Farrar says, Jesse's death caused grief; Jones's lies caused FEAR.

"He weaponized mentally unstable people to go after them."

And the jury is excused for deliberations.
Well, that was ... something.

If Reynal and Bankston get into it *again* or if Jones spews slurs *again*, I hope someone else can cover it. There appear to be several filings in the bankruptcy case and his suit against the J6 Committee for me to read tonight.
PS If you have a copy of that sanctions motion that Bankston is about to drop on Reynal, DM me!

And we're back! Alex Jones is in the courtroom watching video of himself in the courtroom commenting on the case.
OMG, Judge Gamble tells Alex Jones to spit out his gum. He says it's not gum and says he had oral surgery and is massaging a hole in his mouth?

The mood in the room is TESTY.
Scarlett Lewis is back on the witness stand.

"Are you pleased that you finally get to look this man in the eye," her atty Mark Bankston asks, gesturing toward Jones.

"Yes."

Good morning! Time for another day of the Alex Jones defamation trial.

In a bit of extreme karmic irony, the YouTube algo is now feeding clips of the trial to my teenagers, who have opinions on testimony of Daria K & Owen Shroyer.

Link to watch below.
Neil Heslin takes the witness stand, says that it is "disrespect and an extreme cowardly act" that Jones isn't in the courtroom this morning.

Heslin, addressing the jury, says he hopes to save his son's legacy and honor from the "propaganda that was peddled for his own success."
Heslin says that Jones's lie about Sandy Hook being a hoax "resonates around the world."

"He did exist," Heslin says of his son Jesse, as he breaks down, saying "the wounds have never really healed, never really closed" because of Jones's lies.

Not gonna liveblog the whole Alex Jones hearing today, but Infowars' corp rep Brittany Paz says the company had no knowledge that the Sandy Hook denier it cited as an expert was a total loon because it stopped reading his wackadoo spam emails.

NOT GREAT, BOB.
Psychiatrist testifies that Scarlett Heslin, accused of being a crisis actor after her son was killed, is so traumatized by attacks fr Jones' demented fans that she suffers from dissociative episodes, is terrified that people are trying to kill her, &sleeps with multiple weapons.
Psychiatrist says that Neil Heslin, father of 6yo Jesse Lewis who was killed at Sandy Hook, has PTSD as a result of attacks by Jones and his fans who say that his son never existed.

Both parents are constantly worried about their safety.

Alex Jones's first Sandy Hook defamation trial is back for another day of crazy in Texas. Infowars host Owen Shroyer is back on the stand being questioned by defense attorney Andino Reynal.

And here's the YouTube if you want to watch it yourself.
Shroyer describes Infowars operation. Shockingly, it's pretty slapdash.

Andino: Tell us about the group of people who work there

Shroyer: Salt of the earth types, not a lot of millionaires.

Reminder, Infowars brought in $165M over three years.
rollingstone.com/politics/polit…
Shroyer claims to take ten hours preparing the show.

Reminder: Yesterday he claimed that someone handed him the story claiming that the coroner in Sandy Hook never gave parents back their children's bodies while he was on air and didn't have time to check it.
