Freedom Of Speech And Due Process Under Attack In Alex Jones Defamation Trial




Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis have been attempting to sue Alex Jones for $150,000,000 for what they call defamation of their six year old son Jessie Lewis. Their position is that Jones should be punished for publishing his belief that the Sandy Hook school shooting was a total hoax. Helsin and Lewis claim to have endured harassment and emotional distress to the point of PTSD. They said they hired private security due to threats resulting from Jones "right wing misinformation."

This is the first lawsuit against Jones regarding Sandy Hook that has resulted in a judge making a settlement. The hearings were conducted under Judge Maya Guerra Gamble. Jones was accused of not complying with the court for failing to provide certain "documentation." A ruling was made in the absence of his presence declaring that he was guilty of defamation. Jones was then required to appear in court for a jury to decide his punity. The ruling decided Jones must pay $4,100,000 in compensatory for the cost of the security Heslin and Scarlett hired. He was later ordered to pay an additional $45,200,000 punitive.

Federico Andino Reynal represented Jones during the trial. Everything was televised like with celebrities. In a wild turn of events, Reynal "accidentally" sent an entire unredacted copy of Jones phone text message record spanning two years to the opposing lawyer. He then failed to make Jones aware of this little detail before the hearing and made no effort to ensure this was not included as evidence. The record contained attorney client privilege information and ended up being used against Jones in the case. He was caught lying about not having any messages regarding Sandy Hook due to this.

Such a mistake could destroy the reputation and career or any lawyer. Was he incentivized or pressured to betray Jones? Paying the crooked lawyer more than Jones could ever afford just might be enough to get the guy to retire silently. It's hard to write this off as an accident when Jones has so many enemies.

The official version of what happened at Sandy Hook is "twenty children and six adults were shot dead." If these parents care so much about the legacy of their son, why do they oppose speculation or investigation? Why do they want to silence free speech on the matter and retire into the sunset with millions? They are already successful people with relations to banking and media.

Do they not realize that this case law could be used to censor people from having an open discussion in public about what officials claim to be the truth? Maybe that's the point. We cannot be having independent thought. Those who aren't fascist socialists must be silenced. What a better way to silence people you don't like other than to sue them for all they are worth?

There could be more settlements for Jones to pay up. More "parents" are coming for the money. Powerful entities are attempting to find out Jones true net worth as they accuse him of hiding his remaining assets. It has even been said that the ruling was likely based on how he will be able to divide up his assets for compensation.

Jones has always been a figure of controversy. Like him or not, he is thought provoking. He's a shill, but he makes you look where you were not supposed to. It's up to you to read between the lines and find the truths. Just like with Fox News or even more so with CNN and MSNBC.

Let us not forget Jones relationship with Donald Trump. He greatly influenced the election in Trumps favor. Trump once linked to Jones as a source. He also once appeared on Jones show.

Jones spent a lot of time talking about the "Pizzagate scandal." He has been one of the few to attempt live coverage of the Bilderberg Meeting. He also played a key role in exposing Bohemian Grove. Despite being anti war, he is regarded as a "right wing extremist."

Now the FBI wants a copy of Jones leaked phone record for the purpose of investigating the "January 6 Capital Attack." Suddenly it really doesn't seem like an accident that the lawyer leaked the phone record. Maybe George Soros paid off the lawyer to sell out Jones.

Our freedom of speech is under attack. Due process is being eliminated. A new precedent is being set for us to live with. It's really not hard to see why certain people love to see Jones silenced. Just look at Jones argument with Pierce Morgan in 2012.
