Alex Jones claims defamation trial rigged, jurors don't know what 'planet they're on'

Jones, founder of the Infowars radio show and webcast, is on trial in Texas to determine how much he must pay for spreading falsehoods about the killing of 20 children and six staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, on Dec. 14, 2012.

Mark Bankston, the lawyer for the parents, accused Jones on Thursday of approaching the trial in bad faith, citing broadcasts where he said the trial is rigged against him. He also showed jurors an image from Jones’s show that Bankston said depicted Judge Maya Guerra Gamble, who is overseeing the case, on fire. Jones responded that the image shows Lady Justice on fire, not Gamble.

Jones on Wednesday attempted to distance himself from previous falsehoods that the shooting was a hoax, saying it was “crazy” of him to repeatedly make this claim.Heslin told jurors on Tuesday that the falsehoods Jones spread to his millions of listeners made his life “hell” and resulted in a campaign of harassment and death threats against him by people who believed he lied about his son’s death.

That is contempt of court

Have you seen the Judge’s rebuke of his testimony under oath today? A little unbiased reporting would go a long way.

Hopefully he's convicted for perjury.

You should delete this and repost. Your tweet does not clarify that these are false claims Jones is making while lying under oath.

Alex Jones is getting what he deserves and is about to lose everything. Don't forget the incoming criminal contempt charges.

Father of child killed in Sandy Hook testifies in Alex Jones defamation trialThe parents of slain 6-year-old Jesse Lewis are seeking as much as $150 million from Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems LLC Reminder to those foaming at the mouth for his downfall… he was not the perpetrator of the Sandy Hook murders, and should not be treated as if his role as a public figure commenting on the event, is more detrimental than the act he was commenting on. If a crazy person says four wild things that no one else is saying, and 2 of them turn out to be true, perhaps said crazy person is not as crazy as we thought… Alex Jones is definitely nuts… but a top notch conspiracy theorist, haha. Such a con and charlatan.
