Alex Jones is one of the greatest patriots of our lifetime.
The judges just admitted it rigged ?

This
Question? ... How ashamed should we be for the hundreds of thousands of military veterans who gave their lives and limbs fighting for our Constitutional rights and freedoms??? And look where our supposed justice(sic) system is today!
Texas, law west of the Pecos style. Is the judges name Roy Bean?
The purpose of a trial is to determine the facts of the case. This has nothing to do with the first amendment, that’s for subsequent appeals at the appellate or higher level. Did he say what he said knowing what he knew, yes or no.
If I were a judge you damned well bet I’d be unfavorably disposed to anyone saying “this is rigged” before the event.
The first amendment does *not* cover defamation of character (libel or slander), just as it does not cover incitement to riot, assault, or revealing classified intelligence (unless revealing such is in the national interest and shouldn’t have been classified).
If he knew his claims were false and still made them, therefore painting the parents as liars, that is *not* covered, never has been, never will be.
Very poor “legal” analysis by an unnamed “legal advisor” who I suspect is not an attorney.
We’ll give him a fair trial and then hang him?..................
Finally, the Texas judge has determined that the “jury shall be instructed” to find any arguments about Infowars’ journalistic practices to be “established in favor of the Plaintiff.”
The judge is telling the "jury" how they should vote?
Essentially a ‘Directed Verdict’.....................
We are not a nation of laws.
We are a nation of lawyers.
Arrogant, greedy, criminal lawyers.
“We’ll give him a fair trial and then hang him?..................”
haha! Funny but true in this case.
I’m not likely to ever be on a jury. But I will say frankly, that my opinion on the verdict would be 100% driven by the question, “Do I want this guy to be punished?” In today’s world, I don’t see guilty or innocent really being a decising factor since our legal system is over-burdened with stupid laws: everyone is guilty of everything to some degree. I’d sit through an Alex Jones trial and then declare him innocent. While walking out the door afterwards I might ask “What were the charges?” But I probably wouldn’t even bother.
We don’t have a Justice system. We have a system of “Let’s get the guys we don’t like”.
Looks like another Soviet Show Trial ready to start...
More like Soviet style.
The Deep State (and their legal lackeys) are beginning to take off the masks—they rule and everybody else drools.
I get amused when folks around here say “The Constitution says this” and “The Constitution says that”.
The Deep State does not care.
We will keep losing until we do not care either.
That’s what appeals are for.
Two different things at issue here:
1-Did Jones knowingly lie/distort truth in a way that harmed someone?
2-is his doing so covered under the First amendment.
Have to determine ‘1’ (by jury) before the second even matters.
*sometimes* things are so obviously covered by the first that the entire case is thrown out, such as with a genuinely public figure, but if I say something scurrilous and defamatory about Red Badger, *knowing* it was untrue, and harm resulted to them from my doing this, that ain’t covered, and shouldn’t be.

Use the msm as an example and Jones is innocent because they do that everyday.
I’m going to take a guess here and figure that you’ve never gone down the rabbit hole of looking into all of the absolutely weird things that went on at Sandy Hook.
There have been way too many school shootings and way too many mass shootings. But when it comes to anomalies the two that stand out are Sandy Hook and Las Vegas.
More so Sandy Hook. Like I said there are just way too many weird things things associated with that particular tragedy.
It deserves critical scrutiny. Now Alex Jones might be a little crazy in some of his ideas but the underlying theme is that the topic should be discussed. And there are forces who do not want anyone to discuss the discuss the aftermath of that particular tragedy. Because it is the events of the aftermath in particular that do not make sense.
