You can take quote from his show today and say the same thing about them. They are talking about it now. Owen is being sued and he didn't even work for INFOwars during all that crap.
Whoever "Owen" is, he is not being sued. The named Defendants are listed in the caption. They are:
(1) Alex Jones
(2) Infowars, LLC
(3) Free Speech Systems, LLC
How can someone lap up and repeat such easily-verifiable lies?
I wouldn't be surprised if the "vitamins" and "supplements" that Jones peddles have traces of lead in them. It would
certainly explain a lot.
Buzzfeed had them all tested, to go after his money stream.
Even BuzzFeed concluded they were the best on the market. It is the same stuff private labelled for Whole Foods, that they pedal, private labeled with INFOwars Life..
Correct and with the freedom of Press, they have all opportunity to set the record straight, correcting the wrong words. Now, failure to do so, is an entirely different case. How much money did the parent lose by those statements? I bet Jones can prove the Parents have now profited over what Jones initially said. Bank accounts and discovery of income. That paper trail, discovery allows.
Not just wrong, completely and totally wrong.
Any "profit" that they received (doubtful, anyway) has nothing to do with the calculation of damages awarded in a defamation case. They are not claiming a monetary "loss" as damages, but rather seeking damages for psychological injury and reputational damage, along with assumed damages and exemplary damages. Their financial records are not going to be discoverable because they are irrelevant. Try again.
And it will require a mountain range of discovery, from digging into the school, school records, teachers, kids, EMS response (they were turned away, remember? 8 min after the 911 call they were TURNED AWAY by police that were already there), police records, reports, coroner reports, death certificates (which were never released), site clean up, school demolition, etc.
The burden of discovery will either prove/disprove. And will be extremely costly, time-consuming and bring a lot of details to light that have never been made public.
As I said, I doubt this will make it into court. Remember that discovery means everything and anything is fair game.
That's not true. While the events will be subject to discovery, the parents' personal lives won't be. There are limits to discovery and it isn't an unlimited fishing expedition.
No, the jury will see what the parties show them. The Plaintiffs will show them what they think is relevant and then it is incumbent on the Defendants to show them additional footage if they think more context is necessary. The jury isn't going to just sit and watch a weeks worth of Alex Jones shows. Your posts leave the impression that none of what you appear to think happens in litigation actually happens.
What, jones will not be allowed to show the court his evidence? These are not Marxist run courts, yet.
That's not true. While the events will be subject to discovery, the parents' personal lives won't be. There are limits to discovery and it isn't an unlimited fishing expedition.
Every action each parent took involving each child will be fair game.
Every action each parent took involving each child will be fair game.
Which is a whole lotta discovery.
The limits of discovery will be defined by the Defendants' chosen defenses but the premise that "every action involving each child will be fair game" is fundamentally incorrect.
Any "profit" that they received (doubtful, anyway) has nothing to do with the calculation of damages awarded in a defamation case. They are not claiming a monetary "loss" as damages, but rather seeking damages for psychological injury and reputational damage, along with assumed damages and exemplary damages. Their financial records are not going to be discoverable because they are irrelevant. Try again.
What damages are they suing for?
You have to show actual harm. Not mental distress and your feelings got hurt. One reason defamation never makes it to trial.
Bank accounts please. You say you want how much in the lawsuit? Well let us see the harm, to your assets has been established.
