Lawyer for Alex Jones and Proud Boys leader loses license for 6 months over Sandy Hook records leak
A lawyer for InfoWars founder and host Alex Jones has been suspended from practicing law in Connecticut for six months after allegedly improperly releasing confidential records related to the Sandy Hook defamation case.
The lawyer, Norman Pattis, also currently sits on the legal team for Joseph Biggs, a member of the Proud Boy charged with seditious conspiracy and other crimes in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol attack.
“We cannot expect our system of justice or our attorneys to be perfect, but we can expect fundamental fairness and decency,” Judge Barbara Bellis wrote in a court order suspending Pattis' law license. “There was no fairness or decency in the treatment of the plaintiffs’ most sensitive and personal information, and no excuse for (Pattis’) misconduct.”
Among the documents released were medical records for family members of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, two years of Jones' text messages and other confidential files.
