As Legal Eagle himself has said in previous videos, the whole process of Discovery is designed to avoid crazy gotchas. The only reason why it happened in this case is because Jones and his lawyers went out of their way to circumvent the Discovery process earlier on. The funny thing is that if Jones' lawyers had just complied with Discovery, they would have had the chance to face the facts head on and try to spin them to Jones' advantage. Maybe even get some of them thrown out of the case on a technicality. Now all they can do is stand there and take the kick to the nuts.

@@jbone665 It should not have, but its hardly uncommon. The only truly uncommon thing here is the "leak" of the documents. But snubbing discovery is not a particularly uncommon tactic whenever "rich guy privilege" is involved. There's a lot of these folks who believe some combination of: a) The jury will trust me because I have money. b) And if that doesn't work, I have more money than the prosecution so I'll just drag it out until they can't afford to continue and are forced to settle if not outright drop the case. And the worst part is, they're not wrong. This is especially true in criminal court where the burden of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt" (Jones was only facing civil charges, which have a much lower standard.) That higher burden means both that the jury needs to trust you even less in order to convict, and that the prosecution needs to spend even more time and resources to present their case (while the defense can often get away with a weaker argument since they only have to sow doubt of guilt, rather than trying to "prove" innocence). If Jones' lawyers hadn't screwed up so badly he would have likely gotten off with a slap on the wrist rather than the $49 million he was ultimately fined. It was just a civil case as noted, and he'd already been found liable, so that much wouldn't have changed. But I suspect the damages would have been drastically lower if the prosecution hadn't had such explicit evidence that Jones had been caught lying his ass off.

You're ignoring the facts of the case and claiming something else entirely. He was found guilty of defamation and that's not an easy bar to clear in the US. Free speech doesn't mean you can go around lying about people. Defamation requires four things according to Cornell Law School: 1) a false statement purporting to be fact; 2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person; 3) fault amounting to at least negligence; 4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement. He was found to have done all four of these things. The fact is he did write untrue statements about the parents of people whose kids died during Sandy Hook and those lies did result in the loonies who believed him harassing and ruining their lives further when they're trying to mourn their dead children. Publishing something so blatantly false to people he knew would believe it is negligence at best. I'd also point out a good chunk of that information he was trying to withhold he lied about existing and was actually pertinent to the case.

I think he knew or assumed (rightly based on the judges reaction to his attempt at calling a mistrial) any objections would be met with: "well we have rules and procedures for you to follow in situations like this. You didn't do that so sit down." I also think if he did object it would just look worse for him and his client. Consider the documents in question unambiguously should have been turned over a year prior as the judge said. There was no question the prosecution _should have had those documents_ objecting to their inclusion in open court could be seen as the defense intentionally trying to hide and suppress evidence the prosecution rightly should have. Regardless of what you might think this is in my opinion a worse look for the defense than simple incompetence. Doing what he did means he can at least plausibly say: "look we are idiots, but we aren't malicious idiots" so at the time given what he knew not objecting was the best option. Not to say it was a _good_ option but it was marginally better than objecting and removing all doubts they tried to cover up evidence.

[@ammaokami4479]

To continue with the key analogy, from what I understand the proper procedure would be to go through and say, "You cannot go through that door, that door, that door..." representing the files not meant to be sent. Or obstructing the specific doors in some way. Meanwhile what he actually did was say "Please don't" and left the prosecutor to his own devices.

Simple, bribery and blackmail. Why do you think a lawyer that a million dollar earning man would make a mistake so big in the first place? Because someone either bribed him, or threatened to kill him via "accident" like what happened in the case with Epstein's "suicide" and witnesses against his accomplice Ghislane to limit the trial to the punishment of one accomplice rather then open up an investigation involving Epstien's black book. A mistake like this can ACTUALLY get a lawyer disbarred because it's not arguing for his client. However, the lawyer has currently not been disbarred for that. And why do you think that is? Because, of course, they need him for other cases. See, blackmail or bribery in history does not end with one incident, there's compromises and secrets kept, so they'll likely use this particular lawyer in other cases or use him as a mole to aid defence of their particular brand of criminal after a swift promotion, because the same people have some amount of control over the US court. Now that he's burned, he's in their system. You don't leave when you get that on you. Jones made powerful enemies by exposing the island meetup of world leaders back in the day and now he's getting socially destroyed on flimsy claims. And people like you eat it up because you're emotionally driven and do not do research.

[@berretta9mm17]

It's very peculiar how, as the lawyer who just screwed Jones springs the trap, that Jones' cough - which has been an intended annoyance through his entire testimony - just disappeared. Like magic. Jones should bottle his testimony, being caught in a lie, amd sell it as a cough suppressant.

[@dionh70]

Excellent point. I hadn't really caught that particular detail, as I was engrossed in the explanation, but in retrospect, I find your assertion absolutely compelling.

[@drakkenmensch]

Jones has been digging this grave for TEN YEARS, he's got a LOOOOOOOT of height to fall down from before he hits the bottom. He better hope not to reach down into magma.

Its fight or flight response to adrenaline we use Beta agonist as bronchodilators to relieve asthma and COPD exacerbation Adrenaline act on beta and alpha u can see his congested nose get better due to adrenaline vasoconstricting his nose blood vessels and his cough get better due to the bronchodilatation

So long story short, Alex Jones broke the top 3 rules you never do in court! 1. Lie and mess with the discovery process 2. Throw your own Lawyer under the bus 3. DON’T PISS OFF THE JUDGE!!

[@anndra8687]

If only he'd gone into the well and got tackled by the bailiff for the full set

[@marceldiezasch6192]

2. was 100% justified here. If his assistant sends out your entire data dump to opposing council and for some reason doesn't claw it back, you better throw them under the bus.

[@me___5796]

The plaintiff also played a clip where Alex Jones claims the judge and jury "don't know what planet they are on". This is supposed to be insulting but I just find it funny for some reason.

[@simmerke1111]

@@marceldiezasch6192 There's virtually nothing they could do at that point. None of the relevant documents would be granted privilege. They were ordered to be produced long ago. They could've gotten privilege for other stuff unrelated to the case. But that wouldn't save this data from other law enforcement that's now requesting it. Once it is known to exist, it's kind of over.

4. Never refer to opposing counsel as Perry Mason.

Look at the facial expression at 7:54 and read the judge's face. It's only a split second because she needs to seem impartial and fair. Her face says - "OMG...you were just destroyed and it was captured on video for eternity."

[@warmachine5835]

He's so despicable that his attorneys willingly gave up their licenses to out him to the public. As an attorney, you don't come back from a transgression like this. They essentially just surrendered their licenses to practice law to sink their own client. They're not the heroes Alex Jones wanted, but they're the heroes he deserved.
