Text Bombshell Stuns Conspiracy Theorist Alex Jones In Trial On 'Sick' Sandy Hook Lies

A stunning courtroom moment in Alex Jones’ defamation trial. The lawyer for Sandy Hook parents reveals in court that Jones’ lawyer accidentally sent him texts and emails from his cell phone. The bombshell twist proved Jones wasn’t telling the truth in prior statements. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber reports on this shocking moment and the high stakes in this trial. Daily Beast reporter Will Sommer joins, adding Jones “has shown on the stand to be a liar.”

Um. I'm pretty sure that: 1) if the lawyers have clearly recommended that Jones not commit perjury, they're pretty safe. If they recommended that he commit perjury, that's when they're gonna get disbarred, in which case sending the messages intentionally would be incredibly stupid. 2) Also sending the messages, for any reason, might merit disbarment, but even without it could be a career-ending move, because it completely destroys their credibility. Like who would want to hire a lawyer that intentionally ruins their client, or just can't handle confidential information? My money says the lawyers are tech inept boomers who legit messed up. Or maybe they asked a temp or an intern to send it, and that person messed up. Regardless of who, I can't see anyone intentionally sending it. The repercussions are just too severe.

Sandy Hook was a small percentage of his content . Claiming he made millions on millions off of it is pretty ridiculous. Plus he was not the originator of that hoax.

Actually, Ari, this is the punishment phase. Remember, Alex was found guilty by default after multiple years of not complying with the discovery process. It's why he's been reprimanded multiple times just this week for trying to plead his innocence. That chapter is closed.

[@harold7792]

I can't say I fully understand it, but ... Decision of "damages"/"monetary damages" (something like that) was made today by the jury, and then the "punitive" (or the punishment) damages/"non-monetary damages" will be decided by the jury tomorrow or soon after. Also, the jury can decide the punitive damages to be an *additional* monetary amount (on top of the $4.1 million decided today), if they so choose. ... (The only term for this case that I know, for sure, is the word "punitive"). ... And... I haven't listened to the judge today. Maybe the judge explains all of that, or maybe this was explained at the beginning of the trial or sometime before that.

Some people have said that this was done intentionally to create a mistrial. I'm a retired attorney and haven't done a trial in decades, but I don't believe it creates a mistrial. (Although I don't know what the case law is in that state on the issue). Logically, it shouldn't be a mistrial though because if that was all it took to get a case thrown out of court that it would in his attorney's interest to do this so they could have a kind of win. Second, in discovery your lawyers MUST turn over all evidence that they have. If his attorneys had not turned over these emails and it came out afterward they withheld evidence, they would not only be disbarred but also face criminal prosecution.
