Sandy Hook parents seek more court-ordered sanctions against Alex Jones

[TexasTowelie]

The parents of two children killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting have asked a Travis County judge to impose additional sanctions against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for continued obstruction of their lawsuits.

Jones has already been assessed almost $150,000 in court-ordered penalties for failing to give the parents required information and for filing a frivolous appeal seeking to dismiss their lawsuits.

The parents' lawyer, Mark Bankston, was back in court Monday seeking additional fines against Jones and his lawyer for so thoroughly blocking access to information that pretrial discovery became "an enormous waste of time."

But money isn't enough to set things right, Bankston argued.

He also asked state District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble for an order blocking Jones' lawyers from conducting their own pretrial discovery for the next phase of the lawsuits — determining how much money Jones and his companies owe the parents for broadcasts that called the school shooting a hoax.

So much for "swift" justice. Wonder if the Judge feels any guilt for allowing this circus to go on for so long.

Our judicial system seems to be largely guided by how politically connected and or rich one is. And no one seems to care.

4. That aggravates me more and more. Justice delayed is justice denied.

For example, how long does it take to enforce a subpoena? If the subpoena is issued by a legitimate authority, why would it take days, or weeks, or longer, to haul the person in? Bring'em in, put them under oath, and if they want to claim some sort of privilege let them do it under oath at the hearing.

My neighbor didn't show up for jury duty and cops were knocking on his door that same day.

6. Good Point On Jury Duty

But I suspect it all goes back to power and privilege. You got money or position, you get special dispensation.
