This is a good summary of the legal situation.

Jones also engaged in delaying tactics to waste the court's time and strain the 's costs that succeeded in dragging out the trial for over a decade until the judges entered summary judgements against him for failing to comply with discovery or show up to hearings.

And he lied on the stand, and he had the medical records of some of the victims he was abusing on his phone, which no one should have, and we should see criminal proceedings about how that was obtained.

Funny thing was, he was more concerned from the phone records that he'd sent a nude photo of his wife to Roger Stone, than the illegal stuff it showed. Possibly concerned that it might alienate the conversation part of his viewership.

I was personally in the Austin court room to watch parts of the trial.

If you haven't found the Knowledge Fight podcast yet then I highly recommend it, they also have q&a episodes with the plaintiff's legal team.

Very cool, going down to the courtroom.

I do follow knowledge fight, and while they're enlightening about Alex Jone's BS (Such as when he's repeating someone else's story about an uncle who was in the army as if it was his uncle, or when they point out that he has only read the headline of the newspaper article that he uses as content for a 2 hour rant), I find that I don't generally have the interest in Alex Jones to sustain me through a whole Knowledge Fight episode.

When they had a lawyer or plaintiff on though, it holds my interest.
