[@thehobowizard]

How awful Jones was to the parents directly should be understood. He didn’t just say all these horrible things, he sent “reporters” to wander around Sandy Hook and harass them. He also disclosed their addresses multiple times, even after crazy followers of his stalked the parents. He even used the information he got from a letter from a parent begging him to stop to dox them. He didn’t just lie, he put their lives in danger on purpose.

Technically, Halbig was already on his way to Newtown, he just ended up gaining Jones's support is all. And you're talking about Lenny right? That guy is just as bad. His group "HONR", doxes people, harass them, send death threats, have sites taken down regardless of content. If you question 12/14 in any way, like asking who was the guy they pulled out of the woods that morning and arrested? That's good enough to be removed. I'm not defending Jones or any of the drivel he tried to push. But the situation isn't so cut and dry and some parents, especially Lenny, aren't so innocent.

[@queenannsrevenge100]

[@daverickert8469]

Google norm Pattis. I don't think so. Renayl maybe but idc about this case I got a month ago makes more sense to me

[@retsaMinnavoiG]

I'm guessing they couldn't get a straight answer from Jones and it went something like this... Jones: I don't know what messages are relevant and I don't care, they could be anywhere on my phone! Lawyer: well you don't want me to give them the whole phone, can you help us give them what we are required? Jones: I can't be bothered to do that just don't give them anything. Lawyer: no, we legally have to give them discovery items and you will get into trouble if they find out you're hiding relevant items. Jones: I don't care, just don't give them anything... Lawyer: no, WE have to give them something otherwise you will get in trouble Jones: I don't care just sort it out and give them something so I can't get into trouble, I don't want to deal with this! Jones: I'm paying you! So you go through my phone and figure it out. I imagine it went on like this until the deadline was close and they had no other option but to do as instructed and 'sort it out'. They cannot personally find and decide whether every single bit of data on the phone is relevant to the case, they need some guidance. Like, 'will this email account with 15,000 emails be relevant?' 'Who is Thomas? You have 150 emails with him about Sandy Hook' 'Did you ever talk to the contact named Sandra which you have 18,000 text messages with about Sandy Hook and were they part of your show?' Etc. Etc.

[@daverickert8469]

The trial is all online on KZbin and AJ has said what happened here. Short version and ftr there are people in the comments who can do this better. AJ: here is my phone as I am legally required to provide. Don't worry my assistant who no longer works here went through it and there's nothing there so tell them I have nothing to produce with keywords like sandyhook in my texts. Lawyer: (barns I think?) ok I'll tell them that thanks for the phone. 'someone at some point does image his phone and upload that file to the cloud.' Court system: it is 10 days before trial and anything you haven't given to the plaintiffs must be sent now. Renayl (AJ lawyer at the time to paralegal): send all of that over to their lawyers. Paralegal: aight boss. 'sipps redbull' Paralegal for the parents: hey boss. This final discovery is like 200 gigs. This seems weird Lawyer: oh fking sht you idiots. Sends off note to renay, hey fellow credible attorney you sent his phone contents to me as a mistake and I now know everything I saw before I realized it. Here is your notice to file a jawn to ask the court to bar this coming in as unfair. Renayl says word please disregard. Proceeds to do nothing. 10 days pass and it's now legally speaking fair game.

[@haldosprime3896]

They could have been disbarred because they had that information for years and never turned it over. There was zero positive benefit for the lawyers to do it other that purposefully screwing their client which isn’t something any lawyer should do ethically. If it was purposeful, it could have been to claim a mistrial (which they tried to do in court). But nothing about the situation would have benefited the lawyers that did it. It would have damage them personally, or hurt their firms reputation. No one wants to hire a team that messed up this hard.

[@thomashajicek2747]

It would be tough to do that because you score one win, but destroy your personal reputation ad future career over it. Only if they could somehow find a law firm run by sympathetic lawyers who they could admit to that they did it on purpose would they have a chance, and even then they would not likely get hired because they are not trustworthy to put the firm and clients above their own personal interests.

I'm convinced when they say "do your own research" means "I can't legally tell you the names of the ones I'm demonizing but you can find it on your own "

[@altrag]

It's one of their "just copy what smart people say but pervert it to our ends" plays. Way back in the day (like 1990s give or take) when the internet was just gaining popularity and most information on it was still being published by universities, academics, etc., the "do your own research" quip gained popularity as a way to counter misinformation, primarily sourced from traditional media. For example if your uncle was still convinced that smoking cured the plague or whatever you could point him to a search engine and trust that the majority of information he found "for himself" would be at least approximately correct. Nowadays of course "do your own research" just means "find a single KZbin video or Xeet post agreeing with you and then claim you were right all along no matter how much opposing content you had to ignore before you found it". Zero actual research just another way to fulfill confirmation bias. (Then again those "uncles" now trust reality TV personalities for health information more than they trust health authorities, so it hardly matters if they stumble across correct information anyway.) (PS: The phrase itself likely dates back further than that, but it was a lot harder to get people to do their own research when that meant spending hours or days at a library.)

[@SK-ny5ei]

About a year before Sandy Hook Jones defamed the owner of Chobani yogurt, accusing him of illegally importing foreigners to work in his factories and encouraging them to rape white women and overthrow the country. He did this for about a week before he got a cease and desist and a threat of a defamation lawsuit. Went on the air and did a couple hours about how he couldn't be silenced, he was going to now attack the guy 24/7 forever, bla bla bla rah rah rah.... Then the very next day he apologized on the air, and never mentioned Chobani or it's owner again since. Never, not even once. So Jones can learn. Whatever is wrong with him, he's not completely deficient mentally. The people who watch and report on Jones have noted he's far more careful now about naming the wrong people as shooters after mass shootings, after repeatedly being sued for that. Personally I think his lawyers gave him the same advice after each cease and desist letter, but he heeded it with Chobani because the owner is a billionaire, and ignored it with the Sandy Hook parents, because they're not rich. He, like a lot of childish commenters here, thought the wealth disparity between him and his victims was the most important factor in the outcome of his cases.

People die all the time. Homeless are destroyed in droves on the street. None of our politicians are held accountable. Nearly none of our newscasters are held accountable. Nearly none of the other conspiracy theories are held accountable. But because Alex Jones, the supreme mega-grifter, stepped on the wrong toes, thats when, all of the sudden, oh, we have to think of the children. Which is, and always will be, the particarlly loved battlecry of Tyrants.

I think if you think this is justice you didn't watch the whole video. Alex Jones has successfully used the system to screw everyone over for years, shuffling money to his parents and other companies as much as he can. He personally might never be able to earn another dollar without someone taking it from him but he can use his vast personal clout to earn money for people who will continue to pay for his lifestyle. There will be no justice for anyone in this situation although God bless the people trying to bring it about.

That isn't justice, genius. Awarding 1 billion dollars is beyond ridiculous and completely crazy. This isn't a criminal lawsuit... it's civil. It's morally wrong a civil lawsuit can make you owe an amount of money that it will be impossible to repay for the rest of your entire life... for something that wasn't even criminal.

⁠​⁠@@insigniamaligniaI don't think you are seeing this right. Alex Jones completely deserves to pay for the damages he caused to all those families and he didn't pay 1 bi

​@@insigniamalignia you are only correct in that it isn't justice until he's made to cower in terror at every noise, every phone call, every text message notification, every buzz and knock at the door, every shadow from dusk to dawn and every light shining through his windows. *Then* and only then, would an aproximation of justice have been restored.
