Judge denies extension, orders Alex Jones to turn over records to Sandy Hook families

A superior court judge Friday deferred her order that would have denied Alex Jones the chance to argue to dismiss the lawsuit filed by the families of Sandy Hook victims after his new attorney promised to turn over nearly 40,000 emails by early next week.

In an unusual hearing in Superior Court in Waterbury, Jones’ recently-appointed attorney Norm Pattis said his client wasn’t trying to stall the proceedings or ignore the judge’s orders to produce records but instead was just poorly represented.

“Some of the things that occurred weren’t Jones’ fault or my fault,” Pattis said. “Alex Jones was under the impression that full compliance had been done in February.”

Judge Barbara Bellis scheduled the hearing Friday to referee the ongoing battle to get Jones to turn over emails and other documents that he got following the Sandy Hook massacre in December of 2012. Previous lawyers for Jones had asked for at least two extensions to produce the documents and had yet to produce anything. When a third deadline was missed this week, Bellis granted a motion filed by the plaintiffs’ attorney’s to sanction Jones by denying him the opportunity to eventually argue to dismiss the case.

3. Juanita Jean's son was deposing Jones this week

Mark Bankston has been busy http://juanitajean.com/a-quick-alex-jones-update/

Again, I don’t know a whole lot to tell you because depositions in the Jones care are still going on. All I can say is that when I do get a few minutes to talk to Little Bubba, he is tired but happy.

I can tell you this. The Jones lawyer in the Connecticut cases is not faring well.


Honey, it takes some real special abilities to be more unethical than Alex Jones.

And, if you listen to podcasts, This American Life is about Alex Jones this week and Mark’s client, Lenny Pozner is interviewed. The show is called Beware the Jabberwock. It is well worth your time, as is anything This American Life does.

Juanita Jean is busy with her grandson this weekend but I will try to catch up with her next week
