Jones’s attorneys ordered to appear before the judge in the Connecticut case for hearing about whether they should be disciplined for violating the protective order for disseminating plaintiff’s medical records that were found on Jones’s phone.

Tough week for these guys.

So $750,000 is the max allowed by Texas law, but the Judge “may” decide to lower the 42 million? It sounds like that’s not up to her.

I have no idea not my area. Just tried to answer the question asked. RT had indicated in an earlier post another blogger thought the amount was $750k also.

That guy is a first amendment attorney. I have no idea whether he’s right but seems like the punitives will be somewhere between $750k and 9M unless there is some reason that the cap shouldn’t apply.

Won't be caps on the punitives in the Connecticut case. Same situation, he was defaulted on the liability issue for failing to comply with discovery. Only question for jury will be damages.

I’ve seen some discussion that punitive damages in CT are limited to the cost of the litigation and attorneys fees. Those could be substantial in a case like this, but not unlimited.

Guess that’s what mom and dad meant by keep your mouth shut and your ears open! Although we may not exercise that here on Vol Nation with regularity, it’s an expensive lesson in this case.

That seems to line up with a couple of articles I read when I posted that one. I don’t know what the final value will be but it won’t be 42.5M it sounds like

This is as good a time as any, for a stroll down memory lane with Alex Jones and one of his biggest fans. Such depth of mutual respect and passionate admiration between two men is unusual to see anymore. If they had only invited Tucker Carlson and Steve Bannon, they could have had a full-fledged, circle jerk.

Trump only likes legitimate media like Jones, not that Fake News stuff you get from the major outlets.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Defends Alex Jones at CPAC

DALLAS — Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) defended Alex Jones at the Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday, the same day he was ordered to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages to the parents of a victim of the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School.

Greene, who has been suspended from Twitter, claimed social media companies are trying to silence those on the Right, citing Jones as evidence of Big Tech's ideological crackdown.

“Somebody like Alex Jones, who did say some things, but yet he is being politically persecuted right now and being forced to pay out millions and millions of dollars, and no one agrees with what he said, but what we’re tired of is the political persecution,” she said during an onstage interview.

Greene asked when she and others who have been “canceled” on social media will be paid millions of dollars.

CPAC Texas began Thursday and is set to end Sunday. The conference has featured speeches from Ohio Senate candidate J.D. Vance, Sen. Ted Cruz (TX), and other high-profile figures in the GOP.

This was a private civil suit. Marge can sue those same social media outlets she rails against all day, but I imagine she won't since it gives her something to campaign on.

Honestly, if Marge comes to your defense, time to pack it up and try to go home and disassociate yourself from her. This is the woman that will talk about freedom and liberty, then immediately support Christian Nationalism in the next breath and call for it to dominate the Federal government. She did it at CPAC, and that wasn't the first time.

It never ceases to amaze me that people continue to text and keep text that can be harmful to them.

If it’s iMessage then those can never be deleted. Plus, who knows what all people back up in the cloud. If they’re backing up their regular texts, which would be dumb, then those would be there too. I bet it was iMessages though. There’s no erasing those as I have personally seen.
