Are you calling him a "despicable bum" because of this bullsh*t trial, or is it because of some other thing you know he did?
If you are judging him by what his enemies claim, you are making a mistake in judgement.

He fits my definition of a despicable bum.
Despicable-adjective. deserving to be despised, or regarded with distaste, disgust, or disdain; contemptible:
Bum-of poor quality; bad or wrong.
Alex Jones makes his fortune selling snake oil remedies from his infowars store. His comments about Sandy Hook were nothing more than click bait to attract gullible to his store. IOW, IMHO, Alex Jones said things he knew were false to drum up business for his snake oil products.
I consider that despicable and I consider him to be a bum for inflicting emotional distress just to make a profit. YMMV.
