    The thing is, if Jones hadn't disregarded all discovery obligations, the judge probably would have accepted "Please disregard" and allowed the clawback...But he didn't.

      That isn’t a paradox; it would be consistent if some things he says are lies, but some aren’t, and that was one of the lies.
      “This statement is false” is a paradox, “This statement and statement X are both false” isn’t, because it's consistent if that statement is false and X is true.

      The funny thing is that if Jones' lawyers had just complied with Discovery, they would have had the chance to face the facts head on and try to spin them to Jones' advantage. Maybe even get some of them thrown out of the case on a technicality.

      Simple, bribery and blackmail. Why do you think a lawyer that a million dollar earning man would make a mistake so big in the first place? Because someone either bribed him, or threatened to kill him via "accident" like what happened in the case with Epstein's "suicide" and witnesses against his accomplice Ghislane to limit the trial to the punishment of one accomplice rather then open up an investigation involving Epstien's black book. A mistake like this can ACTUALLY get a lawyer disbarred because it's not arguing for his client.
      However, the lawyer has currently not been disbarred for that. And why do you think that is? Because, of course, they need him for other cases. See, blackmail or bribery in history does not end with one incident, there's compromises and secrets kept, so they'll likely use this particular lawyer in other cases or use him as a mole to aid defence of their particular brand of criminal after a swift promotion, because the same people have some amount of control over the US court. Now that he's burned, he's in their system. You don't leave when you get that on you.
      Jones made powerful enemies by exposing the island meetup of world leaders back in the day and now he's getting socially destroyed on flimsy claims. And people like you eat it up because you're emotionally driven and do not do research.

Free speech doesn't mean you can go around lying about people.
      Defamation requires four things according to Cornell Law School:
      1) a false statement purporting to be fact;
      2) publication or communication of that statement to a third person;
      3) fault amounting to at least negligence;
      4) damages, or some harm caused to the reputation of the person or entity who is the subject of the statement.
      He was found to have done all four of these things. The fact is he did write untrue statements about the parents of people whose kids died during Sandy Hook and those lies did result in the loonies who believed him harassing and ruining their lives further when they're trying to mourn their dead children. Publishing something so blatantly false to people he knew would believe it is negligence at best.

Both sides should be armed and ready but thanks to Alex side of being difficult in general and his legal teams screw ups what is normally tv drama happened in real life. I do agree watching Legaleagle getting psyched up for this is awesome, he does what he loves and it is clear in the video and his passion on this.

      @@jbone665 It should not have, but its hardly uncommon. The only truly uncommon thing here is the "leak" of the documents.
      But snubbing discovery is not a particularly uncommon tactic whenever "rich guy privilege" is involved. There's a lot of these folks who believe some combination of:
      a) The jury will trust me because I have money.
      b) And if that doesn't work, I have more money than the prosecution so I'll just drag it out until they can't afford to continue and are forced to settle if not outright drop the case.
      And the worst part is, they're not wrong. This is especially true in criminal court where the burden of proof is "beyond a reasonable doubt" (Jones was only facing civil charges, which have a much lower standard.)
      That higher burden means both that the jury needs to trust you even less in order to convict, and that the prosecution needs to spend even more time and resources to present their case (while the defense can often get away with a weaker argument since they only have to sow doubt of guilt, rather than trying to "prove" innocence).
      If Jones' lawyers hadn't screwed up so badly he would have likely gotten off with a slap on the wrist rather than the $49 million he was ultimately fined. It was just a civil case as noted, and he'd already been found liable, so that much wouldn't have changed. But I suspect the damages would have been drastically lower if the prosecution hadn't had such explicit evidence that Jones had been caught lying his ass off.

Or obstructing the specific doors in some way. Meanwhile what he actually did was say "Please don't" and left the prosecutor to his own devices.

      I think he knew or assumed (rightly based on the judges reaction to his attempt at calling a mistrial) any objections would be met with: "well we have rules and procedures for you to follow in situations like this. You didn't do that so sit down."
      I also think if he did object it would just look worse for him and his client. Consider the documents in question unambiguously should have been turned over a year prior as the judge said. There was no question the prosecution _should have had those documents_ objecting to their inclusion in open court could be seen as the defense intentionally trying to hide and suppress evidence the prosecution rightly should have. Regardless of what you might think this is in my opinion a worse look for the defense than simple incompetence. Doing what he did means he can at least plausibly say: "look we are idiots, but we aren't malicious idiots" so at the time given what he knew not objecting was the best option. Not to say it was a _good_ option but it was marginally better than objecting and removing all doubts they tried to cover up evidence.

      @@SourceAwareness I'm not exactly sure why you are replying on this comment thread with a comment that has nothing to do with it, but funnily enough, I do have an answer for you.
      Crime, in general, correlates heavily with population density. Similarly, there is a correlation between whether a person lives in an urban or rural environment and their voting habits.
      That is the first part, but the second is that - for a whole host of reasons I won't get into here - NIMBY sentiments are pretty common among urban Democrats. And yes, I am fully aware that makes them at best slightly hypocritical, but I dont think anyone is arguing that anyone is perfect.
      Regardless, the end result is you have spiking housing prices in a highly dense environment that has an influx of population. Crime is inevitable unless people are either prevented from moving in or neighborhoods are forced to allow construction, but that obviously tramples over the freedom of the people themselves.
      As for the various riots, to be honest I dont care very much. 15 years ago, I would have been pretty supportive of police putting them down, and supportive of the police in general. This was before I saw the data which showed, despite the platitudes we like to preach about freedom and equality, a lot of people _dont get either._ and to be clear, I am personally in favor of achieving equality not by lessening the scrutiny that minorities face, but by increasing the scrutiny everyone else faces to match it.
      Although, I will point out that if we are talking about recent riots, it wasnt Democrats who attempted to lynch a Vice President.
