The Alex Jones/Infowars defamation trial. The 'Perry Mason Moment'

[Glyn_Wigley]

Alex Jones used his Infowars channel to lie about the Sandy Hook mass shooting, saying it was all a fake. The parents involved who not only lost their children but were subjected to  terrible harrassment (including death threats against them) because Jones lies whipped up his audience have filed a defamation case against Jones. It's taken years to get to court, Jones has been unco-operative throughout with regards to handing over evidence under court order, as well as carrying on lying on his channel all the time.

And then THIS happens during his testimony.

Just watch his face. Oh, so sweet.

He has now admitted in court that the massacre was not a fake.
It’s going to get expensive for him.

I wonder if we can use this on covid conspiracy theorists?

[Glyn_Wigley]

He's got to stump up $4mill, but he brings in that in a week selling his 'supplements'. I think he ought to be more concerned about getting an orange jumpsuit after his repeated - and now exposed - perjury all through this trial.

$4m for now more to come in punitive damages

[normal rules]

His total bill is now $49 million. Lol.

[Glyn_Wigley]

And still he whines that he's the victim.

[BillyStubbsTears]

His total bill is now $49 million. Lol.

$1bn now.

That's the price of spreading malicious bullshit around the web.

Utter Kitson.
 

[MachoMadness]

Good. This freak should be behind bars, frankly, but I'll settle for him being financially f**ked into the earth's core.

I wonder what would happen if he declares himself bankrupt? If he's any sense he'll have hidden a bit of money away so when he pays over everything that's left, can he escape paying the remainder? What do US bankruptcy laws say? Mind you, I bet the loonies who support him will have a crowd funding campaign for him....

At a billion dollars, that's a lot of loonies  with a lot of money to even scratch the surface lol

[BobG]

Lol! He, and his company, have borh already filed for bankruptcy. In Texas if that has any significance. Apparently he has a whole new defamation trial to go through yet so it's probable none of all the various plaintiffs will actually receive much money.

If I'd lost a kid to a school mass shooting, then a repugnant Kitson like Jones had made fame and money out of trolling me, to the point of winding up his disgusting followers to send me death threats, money wouldn't be an issue. I'd just want the Kitson shown up to the world for what he is, then left in a state that he could never, ever put someone else through the same trauma.

[Glyn_Wigley]

He should be in jail to keep him off the air.

Him and Alex Belfield could share a cell.
