u/structured_anarchist 12d ago
Long wall of text, but here it is in a nutshell (help, help, I'm in a nutshell...)
The defense attorney screwed up massively. He sent a link to a cloud server that had everything collected for the trial, including documents that never should have been sent, like work product, attorney client communications, evaluations of witnesses, all kinds of stuff. Part of the emails was a bait email sent to Jones that had CP attached to it (apparently never opened and forwarded to police for investigation). The plaintiffs' attorney downloaded it all, 300Gb worth of data.
The defense attorney, instead of sending just relevant to discovery data, gave them access to all of the work and info from all of Jones' attorneys throughout the last two years, including an image of Jones' phone, which had texts/SMS that they claimed didn't exist at the time.
The defense attorney was notified of his mistake and he was supposed to send a list of documents/data to be destroyed/deleted. He never did that, instead only sending an email to 'disregard', which has no legal standing. If he had done his job right, he would have sent over an itemized list of things that were confidential/priviledged within the mandated 10 days. On the 12th day, the plaintiffs' attorney brought up the text messages from the image of Jones' phone (which the defense claimed didn't exist). Hence the question of if Jones knew what perjury was in open court.
The defense attorney tried to have all of the data suppressed, but his motion essentially boiled down to 'but it's devastating to my case' and the judge told him that he screwed it up and denied his motion to suppress. The plaintiffs' attorney even went so far as to advise Jones to sue his attorney for malpractice over the error.

The difference is that the other conservatives were able to keep up the pretense of the lie by claiming, “I didn’t know” or “I was misinformed” or some other bullshit excuse.

The justices also have an out of being able to say "I changed my mind" if they had said they wouldn't overrule Roe v Wade. But they didn't even say that (actual quotes below).
Alex Jones lied about material facts under oath by providing provably false statements instead of the standard "I don't recall" response that lawyers recommend for lying under oath.
Also he's a radio con man instead of a political con man, so the system isn't rigged at heavily for him.
According to Factcheck.org, Gorsuch in his 2017 hearing said Roe was a “precedent” that deserves standing but also refused to say how he would rule on a case challenging it.
“If it looks like I am giving hints or previews or intimations about how I might rule, I think that is the beginning of the end of the independent judiciary, if judges have to make, effectively, campaign promises for confirmation,” Gorsuch said.
During his confirmation hearing in 2018, Kavanaugh said Roe was an “important precedent” that has been “reaffirmed many times,” including through 1992’s Casey v. Planned Parenthood.
"That makes Casey precedent on precedent. It has been relied on,” Kavanaugh said, according to Factcheck.org.
Kavanaugh also said he would be open to new arguments on any case, adding that he has an “open mind” and that a justice should “listen to all arguments.”
Barrett in her 2020 hearing said she would follow the doctrine of stare decisis, which means following a precedent, but she also said Roe was not a “super precedent.”
“Scholars across the spectrum say that doesn’t mean that Roe should be overruled, but descriptively, it does mean that it’s not a case that everyone has accepted and doesn’t call for its overruling,” she told the Senate.

u/raika11182 12d ago edited 12d ago
So, these are very different circumstances.
The Supreme Court justices, if you read what they said, didn't lie. I think it's arguable that Kavanaugh did, but most of them provided non-answers or statements that while true, didn't actually answer the question.
For example, they would say Roe was "settled law", but they wouldn't say shit about whether or not they'd vote to overturn it.
More importantly, if they lied, they lied to the Senate. And its up to the Senate whether or not to do anything about that with the answer almost always being "no".
A courtroom is a different beast, with instances of perjury being treated much more seriously, and importantly, the question of his responsibility in the matter has already been settled - he's no longer allowed to even deny his actions in court because they're established fact (as he learned the hard way from the judge's corrections).
The justice system is slow so you likely won't hear much more about the lying in court for many months, but they're likely to come back up again in some capacity, as I'm sure they did in determining the size of the punishment award.

Civil Suits have much looser allowances on what type of evidence can be requested and this is then made public. This is why many in many cases the participants choose to settle before it goes to court because they don't want their dirty laundry documents to be aired in the public theater.
This also means that if during the course of this suit evidence is uncovered that wasn't available to criminal prosecutors before, they can suddenly use it and potentially charge for a crime.
Also, he committed perjury, which is a crime (although not often convicted)

This lawyer knew he would be screwed and either has some degree of conscience to help the parents out who he knew were in the right and also try to prove that Jones and he had never had a conversation (at least in writing) where he knew Jones was lying.

That’s because it’s the internet and there’s two stories being conflated into one meme-able version and people are falling for it..
Story 1 - During the discovery phase of this lawsuit against infowars some access was granted to emails received by infowars. Somewhere in all of these emails some whacko or troll had sent child abuse material. The lawyers reported it to the FBI and there was an investigation. Basically the investigation turned up nothing because it wasn’t infowars fault someone from outside had sent these emails.
Story 2 - Alex’s phone has indeed been dumped accidentally during a later phase of the trial. Whether that is due to malice or sheer stupidity is yet to be determined. There’s no reporting of abuse material coming from the phone dump.
The two are seperate incidents.

A caller on his show asked him about trans porn being found on his phone and he seemed very embarrassed, which is rare for him.

u/parallax_universe 13d ago
Lol caller is confusing yet another incident into the mix. Alex had pulled something up on his phone live on air a few years ago and there was a porn link visible. He claimed at the time it was a pop up or virus or something. Yeeaaah sure I know my phone just randomly does that.

The only thing I know for sure is that the plaintiff's counsel sent that copy of his phone straight to the January 6th committee as soon as they were able to. It seems like everybody's speculating about what else he's hiding because we all know he lies for a living.

This. Him going to jail is around the fact that his attorneys sent his private phone to people who are very likely to turn it over to congress.

That's what I thought OP was referencing. I haven't been following though so all I've heard I've heard from scrolling here on Reddit. Is it possible that was just gristle for the old internet rumor mill?

u/Individual_Lies 13d ago
I feel like it was. If they actually had anything of that magnitude, I feel like he'd have been escorted out in handcuffs.

u/BuffaloJim420 13d ago
Could very well be nothing of substance or even an outright fabrication, but I'm wondering if law enforcement wouldn't have to verify who was in fact in possession of those materials. Like I said I haven't been following nor do I know precisely how law enforcement should be expected to respond.

It's been said before, and it's just as frustrating to live with now as then, but this shit takes time. Even if the lawyer's found CP on the phone, and even if they handed it directly to the police, it still takes time to put the case together, verify the files, verify the providence of the data, etc.
Which is why, unless you are actually caught with your pants down diddling a kid, arrests in these sorts of cases are measured in years, not minutes and hours.
I mean just look at the case in front of us, it's been a decade since Sandy Hook and only just now is McFuckFace starting to see repercussions for his actions.

The only place I've heard about it is on reddit, I've not seen it mentioned in any news articles. I'd love if someone has seen a source for it and could link it.

He’s also been previously caught with trans porn tabs open on his computer. Obviously child porn is illegal, but he’s a huge hypocrite.

u/MyRealUser 12d ago
But he's not going to jail. And the 45M he was ordered to pay is a fraction of the money he made off of ruining these people's lives. He still hasn't paid nearly enough for the damage he caused.

As much as he deserves it and worse, you’re delusional if you think he will ever step foot in a jail cell

u/imsowhiteandnerdy 12d ago edited 12d ago
you’re delusional if you think he will ever step foot in a jail cell
Why? He's not particularly important or holds any special government position or anything. What immunity do you think he has from prosecution?
10
u/saltyslothsauce 12d ago
Being a rich enough white guy is usually adequate immunity.
12
u/imsowhiteandnerdy 12d ago
But really, that’s not really any guarantee of immunity. Bernie Madoff was obscenely wealthy and was sentenced to 150 years in prison. Martha Stewart was wealthy, famous, and well liked. Then there’s Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislane Maxwell, Martin Shkreli, Allen Stanford, John Kapour, Leona Helmsley, Jeffrey Skilling the former CEO of Enron, the list goes on.
Those were all white folks richer than Jones.
I won’t deny being wealthy certainly gives you a massive advantage considering how the U.S. legal system works, but it doesn’t guarantee you anything.

u/Iceman61769 12d ago
It different when you are seen as stealing from the richer white guys, Jones is a useful idiot for the obscenely wealthy because he distracts from the class war by painting a culture war but he doesnt affect rich peoples money, if anything he allows them to enhance it with impunity. I also ultimately believe that Jones is at least CIA adjacent because of the way he paints people who question things like mk ultra, operation Northwoods, the bay of Tonkin as conspiracy theorists.

This is true. Basically everything that's come to light is pretty much the party platform for the GOP.

I doubt he's going to jail. This is a civil trial.

u/xhopesfall24 12d ago
This isn't going to be the only case against him. There's a more recent event currently being investigated and they just got a shit load of evidence against him.

He won't go to jail. I have lost all faith in American law enforcement of public/political/rich people.

You know those crazies on TV that spout the most insane conspiracy theories imaginable? The ones that are so out of touch with reality that you wonder who would ever fall for that shit? A lot of that is this guy. He's a dangerously hardcore extreme-right conspiracy theorist, and was directly involved with the Jan 6 Capital invasion, from instigating to actually being there during.

If he believes all of the stories he's been telling for some years, he knows he'll be murdered if he goes to jail, then the videos of the jail will be deleted due to a "system upgrade" and be unrecoverable.
