Conspiracy theorist and “Infowars” radio host Alex Jones has been accused of sending child pornography to the lawyers of the Sandy Hook families — just days after he claimed to be the target of a malware attack that left kiddie porn on his servers.
The Connecticut law firm Koskoff, Koskoff and Bieder — which represents the families of eight victims from the 2012 shooting in Newtown — filed court documents Monday, stating that they had received electronic files from Jones that contained x-rated files and contacted the FBI as a result.

That bloated turd is beyond messed in the head. The hate the rage all of it is just beyond comprehension. He is going to come out of this even more broken than he already is which I am perfectly fine with. They need to get his kids away from him and put them in the hands of their mother. I have to say I really hate this guy and everything he represents.
 
“The FBI advised counsel that its review located numerous additional illegal images, which had apparently been sent to Infowars emails addresses,” the filing said.
Sounds like people have been trying to get infowars in trouble by sending emails with child porn.
I'm no fan of his, but nowhere does it say he personally sent or received childporn via email. It was only discovered after he gave his email data to opposing counsel.
 
"Far-right conspiracy theorist and radio host Alex Jones was booked for a DWI at Travis County Jail and charged with driving while intoxicated just after midnight Tuesday, the Travis County Sheriff’s Office confirmed to TheWrap.

Jones, 46, was booked at 12:37 a.m., said Kristen Dark, spokeswoman for the sheriff’s office. The driving while intoxicated charge is a class B misdemeanor, she said.

Dark added that his bail was set at $3,000 but he was released on a personal recognizance bond at 4:11 a.m. this morning."

HARTFORD, Conn. -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal by Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who was fighting a Connecticut court sanction in a defamation lawsuit brought by relatives of some of the victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Jones was penalized in 2019 by a trial court judge for an angry outburst on his web show against an attorney for the relatives and for violating numerous orders to turn over documents to the families' lawyers. Judge Barbara Bellis barred Jones from filing a motion to dismiss the case, which remains pending, and said she would order Jones to pay some of the families' legal fees.

Jones argued he should not have been sanctioned for exercising his free speech rights. The Connecticut Supreme Court upheld Bellis' ruling last year.

The families and an FBI agent who responded to the shooting, which left 20 first-graders and six educators dead, are suing Jones and his show over claims that the massacre was a hoax. The families said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy.

Jones, whose show is based in Austin, Texas, has since said he believes the shooting occurred.

Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was found liable Monday for damages in lawsuits brought by parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting over Jones’ claims that the massacre was a hoax.

Judge Barbara Bellis took the rare step of defaulting Jones in the defamation lawsuits for his and his companies’ “failure to produce critical material information that the plaintiffs needed to prove their claims.” The default means the judge found in favor of the parents and will hold a hearing on how much damages he should pay.

Lawyers for the parents claimed Jones and his companies, including Infowars and Free Speech Systems, violated court rules by failing to turn over documents to them, including internal company documents showing how, and if, Jones and Infowars profited from talking about the school shooting and other mass shootings.

“Their pattern of defying and ignoring court orders to produce responsive information is well established,” lawyers for the family wrote in a court brief in July.

Jones’ lawyers have denied violating court rules on document disclosure and have asked that Bellis be removed from the case, alleging she has not been impartial.

A Texas judge recently issued similar rulings against Jones in three defamation lawsuits brought by Sandy Hook families in that state, finding Jones liable for damages after defaulting him and his companies for not turning over documents. Hearings on damages also were ordered.
 
NEWTOWN — Alex Jones was penalized with an escalating daily fine of $25,000 for “intentionally failing to comply with the orders of the court” to give pretrial testimony in the defamation case he lost in Connecticut to eight families whose loved ones were slain in the Sandy Hook shooting.

The fine, which could accumulate into six figures in as quickly as four days, was imposed Wednesday by state Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis after Jones twice defied court orders last week to sit for a deposition, citing doctors’ orders to refrain from stressful activity.

“The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Jones willfully and in bad faith and without justification failed to abide by clear court orders requiring his deposition,” Bellis said during a midday hearing, where she also held him in contempt of court.

Bellis, who could have issued an order for Jones’ arrest to compel him to testify instead said the escalating daily fine would begin on Friday and would end only after Jones completed a full day’s deposition.

“If Mr. Jones’ counsel this afternoon informs (the families’) counsel that he will sit on Friday (for questioning under oath) and if he does, there will be no fine,” the judge said by way of example. “If Mr. Jones sits on Tuesday April 5th, the fine will be $25,000 for Friday and $50,000 for Monday for a total of $75,000.”

The sanctions against Jones, the host of “Infowars” who called the 2012 shooting of 26 first-graders and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School “staged,” “synthetic,” “manufactured,” “a giant hoax,” and “completely fake with actors,” is the latest development in a story that has been in the national headlines for the past week.

On Tuesday, Jones offered an FBI agent and 18 members of 10 families who lost loved ones in the school shooting $120,000 each to settle defamation lawsuits he lost against them in Texas and Connecticut late last year.

In Connecticut, the FBI agent and 14 people from eight families rejected Jones’ offer, calling it “a transparent and desperate attempt by Alex Jones to escape a public reckoning under oath with his deceitful, profit-driven campaign against the plaintiffs.”

HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has agreed to appear at a deposition in Connecticut to answer questions in a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, his lawyers said Thursday, a day after a judge ordered fines against Jones for defying orders to attend a deposition last week despite his claim of illness.

Jones will sit for a deposition April 11 and is asking the judge to put a hold on the daily fines, according to new court filings by his attorney, Norman Pattis. The fines begin at $25,000 on Friday and increase by $25,000 each weekday he does not appear for questioning.

Pattis also asked the Connecticut Supreme Court on Thursday to hear an appeal against the fines. There were no immediately rulings on Jones’ requests.

Infowars filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as the website’s founder and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones faces defamation lawsuits over his comments that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

The bankruptcy filing Sunday in Texas puts civil litigation on hold while the business reorganizes its finances.

In its court filing, Infowars said it had estimated assets of $50,000 or less and estimated liabilities of $1 million to $10 million. Creditors listed in the bankruptcy filing include relatives of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the 2012 school massacre in Connecticut.

The plaintiffs in that case have said they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy that Jones promoted. Jones has since conceded the shooting did happen. The families have already won defamation lawsuits against Jones.

Another newly filed lawsuit accuses Jones of hiding millions of dollars in assets, but an attorney for Jones has called that allegation “ridiculous.”
 
NEWTOWN — A Texas judge has ordered Alex Jones and his companies to pay $1 million in legal fees to the parents of two slain Sandy Hook children and a Norwalk native falsely accused of being the shooter in a Florida high school massacre.

The order is from the same Texas judge who is overseeing two upcoming trials to determine damages from defamation lawsuits Jones lost to Sandy Hook parents, and comes one day after three Jones-controlled businesses filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection.

According to the order by Travis County District Court Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, Jones and his businesses have 30 days to pay the attorney fees and expenses for Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the parents of slain Sandy Hook first-grader Jesse Lewis; for Lenny Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, the parents of slain first-grader Noah Pozner; and for Marcel Fontaine, a Norwalk native who was falsely accused on Jones’ InfoWars site as the perpetrator behind the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Fla., in 2018.
[....]
Guerra Gamble has scheduled a conference on Wednesday to discuss whether the first trial to award defamation damages will begin as scheduled on April 25. The question is complicated even though a bankruptcy filing automatically delays a civil proceeding, because neither Jones himself nor his Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy protection. Both Jones and Free Speech Systems are defendants in the lost defamation suits.

In Connecticut, where Jones lost a third defamation lawsuit to an FBI agent and eight families whose loved ones were slain in the Sandy Hook massacre, a conference is also planned on Wednesday. The first hearing in Texas Western Bankruptcy Court is on Friday.
[....]
Jones was the subject of a new lawsuit brought by the parents in the two Texas defamation cases that accused him of transferring “millions of dollars from his fortune” to shield assets from them at the damages trials.

On Sunday, Jones made national news again when three entities he controls — InfoWars, IWHealth, and Prison Planet TV — sought Chapter 11 protection in federal bankruptcy court, which automatically “stayed” the lawsuits where those entities are defendants.

The same tactic was used by Remington in 2020 after eight families that filed a wrongful death lawsuit won a string of pretrial victories against the former gunmaking giant. Remington was eventually sold off, and its insurance carriers settled with the Sandy Hook families for $73 million.

 
Alex Jones is just as complicated as he is evil. Some of his rants and public mannerism can be entertaining and amusing (i.e. "Turn the frickin' frogs gay!"; "Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh. Oh my gosh so trendy!"; "I'm a pioneer! I'm a human!"; and "ingratiating goblins"). But beneath all the bluster, showmanship, and "questioning" of the media and societal mores that he wants to make people think he is putting forth; he, really, is a troll and a conspiracist who does not care if people think for themselves or not. He only feeds rhetoric that divides and fuels hatred, and has limited concern of the consequences as long as his financial situation is fine. He likely does not genuinely believe most of the stuff he espouses.

If Jones was to use his powers for good, I think that one of the career routes he could have taken would be that of a voice actor. He happens to have an excellent talent for that: a furious yelling voice befitting of a fire and brimstone preacher role, a sterling English accent, and a prolific penchant for sound effects such as for animals or monsters. But no. Instead, he has to use his life's work to spew disinformation and lies, and defame families who have been victims of monstrous crimes. And it is so convenient that he had an unspecified medical issue that prevented him from showing up at his Sandy Hook-related depositions, but did not stop him from filming his InfoWars and/or other media as scheduled.

And look at what he says about Donald Trump off-the-record:



One video I watched featuring Jones was a man who told him to his face along the lines of, "If you are bringing so many government conspiracies to the light and are not dead, then either the conspiracies do not exist or you are a part of the conspiracy." Jones, naturally, responded with a lot of moronic shouting that did little to quell the concern or even coherently articulate denial thereof. Which is one way for a bad debater to respond when he is check-mated to his face.

What Jones is adding to the discourse is nonsense with great overcurrents of distrust and malice toward others. And a lot of innocent people with dead loved ones have their grieving process elongated and sabotaged due to him saying, and having his followers convinced, that a tragic event did not actually happen. What the families of those dead children are experiencing because of Jones and his followers is similar to what descendants of Holocaust victims experience at the whim of Holocaust deniers and diminishers; in that the greatest tragedy of their family history is mansplained and gaslit to them as either not real or as much less significant than it actually is, and is done so by people with far less authority and knowledge and historic awareness. Even considering that one tragedy has a far greater scale than the other, the pain of affected loved ones is in the same psychological and emotional school. And, damn, Jones. What did you have to gain from doing this to families and communities that were already suffering? Freaking worm. Freaking bully.

And on a final note, what the hell is going on here?



I believe Jones is voicing the Cobra Commander (back to previous point of his excellent voice acting talent); but this clearly has no educational value. Jones is an entertainer who panders to a base, and does not have enough regard for facts, or even passing his rants and skits as non-fiction. Jones may be amusing sometimes, but he can go to hell.

NEWTOWN — Eight Sandy Hook families and an FBI agent who won a defamation case against conspiracy extremist Alex Jones have asked a federal judge to dismiss bankruptcies Jones filed for three of his business entities, which has stalled trials to award damages.

“These bankruptcy cases were filed to improperly delay these trials, attempt to liquidate (Sandy Hook families’) claims in this venue instead of by juries of their peers, and provide Jones and (his parent company Free Speech Systems) all of the protections of the bankruptcy process…without having to disclose relevant financial and business documentation,” writes the families’ attorney Ryan Chapple in Southern Texas Bankruptcy Court. “They have no valid bankruptcy purpose, and they should be dismissed with prejudice as bad-faith filings so the (families) and the other Sandy Hook plaintiffs can continue with their constitutional rights to have the damages Jones inflicted upon them liquidated by a jury of their peers.”

The Sandy Hook families are asking bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez to throw out Jones’ Chapter 11 filings as soon as Friday[....]

 
A Texas jury on Thursday ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay more than $4 million in compensatory damages to the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, marking the first time the Infowars host has been held financially liable for repeatedly claiming the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history was a hoax.
The Austin jury must still decide how much the Infowars host must pay in punitive damages to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators who were killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut.
 
The Lewis Family’s impact statement gave me tears. They have experienced so much pain and trauma, I commend them for having the bravery to see this through. Alex Jones is a ghoul who deserves to have his vocal chords ripped out and his fingers broken so he can’t spew his bile into the world anymore.
 
Alex Jones' defense attorney called for a mistrial in his client's Sandy Hook defamation damages trial on Thursday, in the latest fallout from their side's own bungling of evidence — a cache of the far-right conspiracy theorist's private text messages that were accidentally sent to opposing counsel.

Judge Maya Guerra Gamble turned down the request by Jones' lawyer, F. Andino Reynal, in open court in Travis County, Texas, as the jury in the civil case continued deliberations behind closed doors.
[....]
Thursday's mistrial demand came one day after it was revealed that Jones' attorney's inadvertently sent the contents of Jones' phone going back two years to the family's lawyers. The phone contents included text messages discussing Infowars' denial-laden coverage of the massacre.

The texts should should have been turned over at least half a year ago, argued Mark Bankston, a lawyer for Heslin and Lewis.

Bankston called Jones' lawyer's motion for a mistrial a "fig leaf over his own malpractice, over his own absolute breach of his duties to his own client."

The plaintiff lawyer also told the judge that there was nothing mistrial-worthy about Jones getting questioned on the stand about the phone contents on Wednesday.

"You know what perjury is, right?" Bankston had said in court Wednesday as he confronted Jones for having claimed, during a taped deposition, that he did not have messages relating to Sandy Hook on his phone.

"Jones was merely questioned about facts, and whether he understood those facts," Bankston told the judge on Thursday.

"I don't think it's a mistrial based on this," the judge concluded.

Reynal also filed for an emergency motion to protect the phone contents from being shared with other Sandy Hook families who have sued Jones.

"We are very concerned about the records that have been disclosed, particularly the medical records," Reynal told Gamble as he asked that the plaintiff attorneys "return" all documents and "destroy" any they have.

Those requests, too, fell flat.

The judge did not oppose the Sandy Hook parents' lawyer after he told her, "There is a sharing provision" with the other families, "so I'm allowed to give it to them."

InfoWars founder Alex Jones skipped out on testifying at his own defamation trial on Wednesday, saying through his lawyer that he is “boycotting” the proceedings.

Jones was expected to testify on Wednesday in a Connecticut defamation trial stemming from his comments suggesting the Sandy Hook school shooting never happened. Jones has since apologized and admitted the mass shooting did occur, but he also announced at his latest defamation trial that he was done apologizing for his past comments.
[....]
Norm Pattis, Jones’ attorney, announced on Wednesday in court that his client was “boycotting” the trial in what he said was a message his client instructed him to give.

“He’s boycotting these proceedings because he feels he’s on the horns of a trilemma. If he testifies in under the court’s orders, he’ll be committing perjury. If he violates the court’s orders, it’s criminal contempt. If he takes the Fifth, he gets an adverse inference,” Pattis said.

“I can’t address what his thought process is on there,” Judge Barbara Bellis eventually responded. Deliberations are expected to begin Thursday. The judge added that she “is not having any of that” and would not be informing the jury of Jones’ protest statement.

Speaking to the press on Tuesday, Jones claimed he would face six months in jail if he got on the stand and told the truth. He hinted he would be skipping out on his planned testimony the following day.

“Not because I’m guilty, but because she [the judge] says if I tell the truth, she’ll put me in the Waterbury jail for six months. That’s what she can do,” he said.

Elizabeth Williamson of the New York Times reported that Jones fled his trial on Tuesday evening, hopping on a private jet to launch his boycott.

“Good morning from Waterbury, CT for the Alex Jones /Sandy Hook damages trial. Rain and at least one big today: defendant packed up his entourage and fled on a private jet. So not looking likely he’ll testify or yell on the courthouse steps today,” Williamson tweeted.

Have you watched the trials?

Everybody wants to jump on the bandwagon.

But… it wasn’t really true. Things they say he said weren’t true. He didn’t say.

This trial is a sham and a shame
Post automatically merged:

If you actually watch the trials… not clips from the media… he’s not guilty.

Same as kyle’s not guilty. People still think he shot black people. They still call him guilty.

Alex Jones must pay Sandy Hook families $965M in second defamation trial​

Alex Jones was ordered to pay $965 million to families of victims of the Sandy Hook massacre by a Connecticut jury on Wednesday — in the second defamation ruling against the conspiracy theorist for his claims that the 2012 mass shooting was a hoax.

The far-right Infowars host has repeatedly claimed the shooting was a media fabrication, denying that gunman Adam Lanza slaughtered 26 people at the elementary school and then himself on Dec. 14, 2012.

Families of the victims said Jones profited off their suffering, amassing tens of millions of dollars by repeating the lies that drove clicks to his website Infowars and helped him hawk merchandise.

The parents wept while the damages were being read.

Each of the plaintiffs was awarded a different amount for defamation and personal damages, but all were awarded tens of millions of dollars.

“Every single one of these families [was] drowning in grief, and Alex Jones put his foot right on top of them,” attorney Chris Mattei told the jury during the trial.
