Don’t know that I’ve ever seen a “trial” this biased and corrupt. Jones handed over all kinds of evidence and went through multiple depositions and then the liberal Democrat judge ruled that he “withheld” info.....what exactly he supposedly withheld has never been made clear. And that therefore on the basis of this, ruled he was not allowed to put up a defense.
There’s a reason these suits were brought in Leftist Austin, Texas and in Connecticut where the plaintiffs knew they would get hopelessly biased Democrat judges who would make a mockery of the justice system - kinda like the DC courts.
The goal is to bankrupt and effectively silence Alex Jones, the 900 pound gorilla of the alternative media. Silencing Jones will also intimidate many others who hold unconventional views outside the range of acceptable viewpoints, from Fox to Huffpost.
“the liberal Democrat judge ruled that he “withheld” info.....what exactly he supposedly withheld has never been made clear.”
It was made perfectly clear. He was ordered to reveal how much income his businesses received related to his coverage of Sandy Hook, which is key information that the court will need to determine damages if he is found liable. He did not comply.
“And that therefore on the basis of this, ruled he was not allowed to put up a defense.”
Wrong again. He is allowed to make a defense, but he is not allowed to make a “1st Amendment”, or freedom of speech defense against a libel claim, because the 1st Amendment doesn’t protect one from libel claims. This is not anything out of the ordinary, it is the standard in ALL libel cases in the United States. You really need to stop believing every transparent lie put out by Jones’ fans.
As for whether the judge is biased, at least on these 2 points it wouldn’t matter a bit if he got a Trump or Bush appointed judge handling the case. Any judge would have ruled the same way.
“Jones handed over all kinds of evidence and went through multiple depositions and then the liberal Democrat judge ruled that he “withheld” info.....what exactly he supposedly withheld has never been made clear”
Well, your first problem is you’re taking Jones word for this. He’s a proven liar.
The email messages on his phone should have been handed over to the plaintiffs in discovery, so right there he didn’t hand over everything. His attorneys knew the email messages were on the phone, and they allowed him to commit perjury on the stand. I’m thinking his attorneys will be lucky not to be suspended or disbarred.
Also, he lost his cases (plural) in Texas and Connecticut based in part on the fact he was subpoenaed and didn’t show up for depositions. Don’t bother to say he actually showed up for all his depostions. There would have been audio and video recordings of the depositions and he and his attorneys would have copies. He just plain thought he was above the law.
As far as him turning over evidence, there would have been detailed records and logs of what he turned over. He and his attorneys would have copies of the logs and records of evidence he turned over. His attorneys would have been able to prove he turned over the material.
You can talk about some vast conspiracy to ‘get’ Jones. The truth is he got himself. He didn’t turn over evidence, he ignored depostions, he’s lied on the stand. Jones is a wrong ‘un. Now he’s having to face the music.
“what exactly he supposedly withheld has never been made clear.”
Actually the article made it clear. Text messages from his own phone weren’t turned over as required.

The Alex Jones circus is not about Alex Jones.
It is about everyone else.
The government wants you silent and obedient—for fear that you may say something that is incorrect that may offend someone.
