His defense attorney literally quoted the "So they came for the communists and I did not speak up" poem in his closing argument!

Yup. Needs to lose his license. And never, ever be hired by anyone as their attorney ever again.

On the one hand, nice to see Alex Jones made a fool of. And happy he'll almost certainly lose. But on the other hand, he and his followers will use this awful attorney as an excuse. They're going to claim he only lost because the attorney failed and that he's totally innocent.

TBH part of me is wondering if that's the reason he has such a bad attorney.

They're going to claim that he's totally innocent regardless of what happens, because that's what they do. The facts don't matter in the first place to them. They would just come up with a different lie.

& from the point of view of facts and reality and logic, it's not a very good explanation for how he's totally innocent. his lawyer failed to cover up the evidence that proved he was guilty - that's not exactly an argument that he did nothing wrong in the first place

I can only imagine this kind of stuff will ramp up. https://youtu.be/42BxbOFc8hk

Knowledge Fight will be such fun the next couple of weeks.

According to the internet, you can't get a mistrial in a civil case due to a bad attorney. The reason he has a bad one is because he has gone through like 9 for this trial.

Yes, that makes sense. And I didn't mean he would try for a mistrial. No, that isn't possible. I'm wondering if he'll try to blame the attorney in the court of public opinion and if that was his intent. But him also not being able to retain an actually decent attorney also makes total sense.

You might get a giggle out of the plaintiff attorney comment on reddit. https://old.reddit.com/r/KnowledgeFight/comments/wfftg7/who_else_will_receive_alexs_phone/iiu9ext/?context=3

Even in a criminal trial, "my lawyer was supposed to hide the fact that I committed multiple acts of perjury" isn't grounds for a mistrial.

No. But ineffective assistance of counsel is.

I suppose the Hyper-Chicken could have tried harder to keep Jones from talking at all.
