Hahaha...Alex Jones is so, so, so screwed...

Hard not to feel bad for Jones, if you listen to him for more than a few minutes, the guy is eminently loveable. One of the best podcast guests in the business, just entertainment in a bottle, and seems like a genuinely sweet guy. Comedian Tim Dillon counts Jones as one of his greatest inspirations and you can see it in the absurdist rants that Dillon has become famous for.
It's a shame he's being put through the ringer for what a few of his nutbag listeners did. Go after the listeners, AJ didn't kill these kids.

There’s a kernel of truth in what he’s saying - about Jones being a good podcast guest. He is and he is funny -because of the craziness.
But a charismatic charlatan is one thing if just off ranting on comedy podcasts - but being a charismatic charlatan and spreading dangerous conspiracies to the mentally feeble and influencing their actions and spending is completely different and punishable if harm is found.
Art Bell was different. His stuff was basically harmless and actually interesting at times.
Beat up and then some.

Donald Trump's Hair Mystery Solved: He had Scalp Reduction Surgery
But it looks like they'll be reunited in death. He buried her in the family plot at his NJ golf club. Maybe this is the beginning of a new golf course trend - - the 20th hole. Play a round, have a couple of beers and say hi to the dead folks on your way out.
Oh yes, lets feel bad for a lying, despicable, vulgar POS that caused unimaginable pain to the parents of children killed in a mass shooting. What the hell world do you live in?
I've never seen his show, so I do not know the answer, but did he ever apologize on-air for his actions? Did he ever say to his audience "Yes, I still believe that they are actors, but that does not give you, my listeners, the right to harass them. Please stop!"
It is my understanding that he doubled-down every chance he got. Now that he knows that he can't get out of some kind of penalty, he is finally admitting guilt to try and get the payment down as low as possible.
Lying on the stand usually doesn't help your case much though.
According to this link, claims of inadequate counsel apply only to criminal cases, so Jones won't be able to take advantage of this concept:
Alex Jones Attorney Blunder ‘Dead on Arrival’ in Any Appeal (2)
Alex Jones is unlikely to be able to take advantage of his legal team’s mistake in releasing his text messages in his damages trial against parents of a Sandy Hook Elementary shooting victim.
It occurred to me that Jones' strategy of waiting until about 10 days before trial to provide his phone content was basically the same as Steve Bannon's strategy of waiting until about 7-8 days before his contempt trial before offering to testify to the committee. Both were trying to fabricate arguments that they had complied, while not really giving their opponents enough time to review all the late information In the days before trial,
Jones is now complaining that his opponents have some of his medical records that were on the phone, so it sure looks like neither Jones nor his attorney screened the approximately two years worth of phone content before handing it over. Stay tuned.
"The guy giving the finger" seems to be a former federal prosecutor appointed by Eric Holder during the Obama years. I looked up his name.
So, he ought to be qualified enough not to "accidentally" cough up all his client's cell phone records, right? I wouldn't rule out that Jones told him it was OK to do that because, for example he didn't think there was anything harmful there or whatever.
And, what the hell is Alex Jones doing by hiring a lawyer who is a former member of the Democrat "deep state" that Jones keeps railing about? Who ya gonna call -- the "deep state" of course, LOL.

It would be a legal malpractice action. Have to prove he would have won the case but for the negligence. Very difficult standard.

This. It happens time and again: some rich people think they are always the smartest guys in the room and seek lawyers who will do exactly what they tell them to do. Hourly lawyers make big $ off clients like that (and get sued for malpractice more often too).
Hadn't Jones already lost the case when the default judgement was entered against him months ago?
Weren't many of the "accidentally" provided documents already requested by the parents' attorney months ago?
Yes, a very difficult standard.

Now that they tried to use the "accidental" sharing of documents as a reason to ask for a mistrial, I think that was probably the strategy all along. It was going so bad for Jones in court that they thought this stunt would get them a chance at a mistrial.

Alex Jones' lawyer calls for a mistrial after he accidentally leaked the contents of the Infowars host's phone
A judge denied the request; the lawyer for Sandy Hook parents said the mistrial request was like Jones' lawyer reaching for "a fig leaf over his own malpractice."
I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that since this is just the penalty phase that any type of "malpractice" claim would be irrelevant. And since this is basically the jury recommending what the punitive damages all told should be, wouldn't the judge have the final say in increasing or decreasing the damages assessed? If so, he's ultra screwed...

Hickory linked a story that they tried for a mistrial because of the mishandled phone.
I wouldn't say his public persona is at all 'loveable.' I've only seen or heard clips of his show, but out of curiosity I listened to the Joe Rogan Podcast where he had him on during a road trip a few years ago. Joe likes him and even he was getting frustrated with him ranting and raving. They also got him pretty drunk and high and that basically turned him up to 11. I wouldn't say I continued to listen to that episode because I liked him or thought he had something interesting to say - it was more a , 'WTF is going on here and WTF is he actually saying?"
I have no idea if he actually believes the BS he peddles, but he definitely talks like he does.

So likeable that he aired BS on air to get his listeners to harass these families that lost their kids. Knowingly liked that they were just paid actors.
Such a stand up guy.
I wouldn't feel bad for Jones no matter what happens to him. There's a special place in hell for him.
@Hulls4Three is trolling the shit out of you guys.

This is actually the correct answer.
There is no scenario where someone dismisses the tragic death of someone's child and accuses the parents of making up said tragedy and that person is a fun or likeable guy. He's crazy and delusional and it's a good thing he's getting his comeuppance.
So is Joe Biden . . .Donald Trump is an amazing judge of character:
This is the key point for me. What would be the claim of malpractice? That they complied with discovery and didn't cover up for him allegedly lying during his deposition about having searched his phone for "Sandy Hook" and not finding anything?
I doubt there's any recourse for him. The only question I've got is whether the state has caps on punitive damages like Indiana does. I certainly hope not because he, in my opinion, is among the worst and most dangerous people in America radicalizing the simple for his own enrichment.
This shows how selling crazy conspiracy theories are a really big business. $800k a day? I always knew that it was big, but still, I’m surprised by the amount.
Apparently, this week's developments may create a special place for him in his divorce proceeding, too,
Alex Jones's ex-wife will seek his phone records for her custody case against him after lawyer 'messed up' and shared texts in court
On Wednesday, A lawyer representing Sandy Hook parents told Alex Jones that his attorney "messed up" and shared two years of phone records.
You know what they say -- if Mama ain't happy, ain't nobody happy.
Spoke too soon. That's just compensatory damages. Punitive damages are yet to be decided.
It makes perfect sense if you know who it is. I'm not certain, but I'm pretty certain...
He would bring a malpractice case against his attorney. The basis could be negligence or an act on the part of the attorney which the violates the ethical code.
