    But he did in fact lie under oath and the judge could punish him for having done so.

    Apparently Jones' lawyers were pretty sad. The discovery process, if it took place at all, was pathetic.

    Like the Jan 6 Cheney scam, it was the civil version of a Star Chamber proceeding.

    truth about what?

    A civil lawsuit is a legal process by which a person or entity can hold another person or entity liable for some wrong, injury, or damage.

    So you are defending the conspiracy theory promoter and doing whataboutisms as your defense?
    His court case was not a criminal case, it was a civil case to see if he should pay damages for his conspiracy theory.

    And he lost.

    Pretty sad to defend someone who exploits mass slaughtered children for profit.

    Did you really ask that silly question? I guess so.

    The truth about the matter that caused the court and jury system to be convened. You know, the charges being brought, either criminal or civil. :roll:

    I did, because you seem confused about the purpose of a suit, trial, and outcome.

    Sandy Hook school shooting



    "Jones spread discredited conspiracy theories about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting being a false flag operation by gun control advocates. He stated "no one died" in Sandy Hook, and the incident was "staged", "synthetic", "manufactured", "a giant hoax" and "completely fake with actors."[229][230][231][232]


    On April 16, 2018, Neil Heslin, father of victim Jesse Lewis, filed a defamation suit against Jones, Infowars and Free Speech Systems in Travis County, Texas.[233] Later that day, Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, parents of victim Noah Pozner, filed a defamation suit against them as well.[234] Pozner, who has been forced to move several times to avoid harassment and death threats, was accused by Jones of being a crisis actor.[235] Jones was found to be in contempt of court even before the trial started, failing to produce witnesses and materials relevant to the procedures. Consequently, Jones and Infowars were fined a total of $126,000 in October and December 2019.[236]

    On June 26, 2018, six families of victims and an FBI agent who responded to the attack filed a defamation lawsuit in Connecticut Superior Court against Jones, Infowars, Free Speech Systems, Infowars Health and others for spreading false claims, resulting in the harassment, stalking and threatening of survivors.[237][238][239][240][241] On March 25, 2019, Jeremy Richman, one of the plaintiffs, whose daughter Avielle was killed, committed suicide. Jones, through his lawyer, offered condolences to Richman's family, then later that day on his show suggested that Richman had been murdered, and that his death had something to do with special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference.[242]

    On July 24, 2018, William Sherlach, husband of victim and school psychologist Mary Sherlach, filed a defamation lawsuit in Connecticut Superior Court against Jones, Infowars, Free Speech Systems and Infowars Health.[243]

    By February 2019, the plaintiffs won a series of court rulings requiring Jones to testify under oath.[12] Jones was later ordered to undergo a sworn deposition, along with three other defendants related to the operation of Infowars. He was also ordered to turn over internal business documents related to Infowars.[244] In this deposition in the last week of March 2019, Jones acknowledged the deaths were real, stating he had "almost like a form of psychosis", where he "basically thought everything was staged."[245]"

    First on CNN: Alex Jones' texts have been turned over to the January 6 committee, source says
    Source: CNN

    "Approximately two years' worth of text messages sent and received by right-wing conspiracy theorist Alex Jones have been turned over to the House select committee investigating the January 6 insurrection, a person familiar with the matter told CNN on Monday.

    The messages were handed over to the committee by Mark Bankston, the attorney who represented two Sandy Hook parents who successfully sued Jones in Texas and won nearly $50 million in a civil trial that concluded last week.

    Bankston would only tell CNN that he is "cooperating with the committee." The select committee declined to comment.

    During the trial, Bankston revealed that one of Jones' lawyers had "messed up" and inadvertently sent him the two years of text messages. Bankston also said during the trial that the January 6 committee had expressed interest in the material."

    You seem intent upon NOT describing what you see as the truth in this case.

    It's all outlined in the OP. It's why I started the OP. Why he was fined $4M in civil damages and $45M in punitive damages.

    Alex Jones concedes Sandy Hook attack was '100% real'

    AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — For years, bombastic far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones ranted to his millions of followers that the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, that children weren’t killed and that parents were crisis actors in an elaborate ruse to force gun control.

    Under oath and facing a jury that could hit him with $150 million or more in damages for his false claims, Jones said Wednesday he now realizes that was irresponsible and believes that what happened in the deadliest school shooting in American history was “100% real.”

    Well I know that already. You are stating facts in your OP.

    I wonder if you have any thoughts on the truth of the matter, not the facts of the matter. From the facts and evidence we try to find the truth.
