For Our Lawyers: Aside from the Astonishing Ineptitude of Sharing Jones' Texts

[The Roux Comes First]

With the opposition lawyers, is there reason to worry that this incredible faux pas presents a significant risk of a mistrial?

1. I believe the judge already ruled no mistrial

She's through with Jones' antics.

2. They (prosecution) followed procedure, notified, then waited so it's all good

The time elapsed for defense to do something about it, but they did not. That's curious, but legally the prosecution has now every right to use the evidence. Ruling was made on mistrial: Denied!

I'm wondering whether they can put a gag order on him? He's still spewing his nonsense every day -- when, if ever, will that stop?

4. I think they were hoping the prosecution

Would not follow procedure or leak to the press. Then the prosecution would have some ‘splaining to do. But it appears they were hoist on their own petard.

5. Hooray!

Blessed are they who can (and do) follow procedures!

Cuz I want that skunk stripped of every ill-gotten dime. And then let us speak of incarceration.

6. There's not a prosecutor. It's a civil case.

Plaintiffs are the parents.

Defendant is Alex Jones.


Jones's remedy here is to file a malpractice claim against his attorney.

3. The judge has denied motion for mistrial about 17 times
