Jones cycled through lawyers as if they had an expiration date, but managed to retain attorney Norm Pattis, who most recently was seen at a comedy club with his pants down and saying the N-word during a stand-up set.......
Ultimately, it was Jones refusal to provide court-ordered documents that led to his already shaky defense crumbling. In September, Jones lost two of his Sandy Hook defamation cases after Texas Judge Maya Guerra Gamble ruled for default judgments against Jones for not turning over documents. The ruling meant he and Infowars were found liable for all damages.
Later that same week, Gamble again ruled default judgment against Jones in the defamation case brought forward by Sandy Hook parent Heslin, adding to Jones third legal loss. And finally, just over a month after Gambles ruling, Connecticut Judge Barbara Bellis also ruled default judgement against Jones in the case brought forward by several Sandy Hook families......
After ten years of tormenting these parents, and after four years of trying to sabotage their lawsuit, Mr. Jones will finally face the long-awaited public reckoning for committing the most vile and despicable campaign of slander in American history, Bankston told HuffPost in a statement. We are eager to show this jury the previously hidden details of Mr. Jones monstrous acts of revenge against the parents who begged him to stop peddling his lies.

I am hoping with every fiber of my being, every book in the court is thrown at him. He's financially ruined to the point of no return. His family turns their backs on him. All society casts him out. The blood of the children murdered will never be washed from his conscience. The wails of the parents' agony, will forever haunt him day and night. That's what I wish for that despicable excuse of a human being. May he never know a minute's peace.
He was part of the dregs of society before, he attacked these murdered children and their families. He attacked those children and their families to make money. It was that simple. His followers feed off his sickening vile con, they throw money at him for attacking murdered children. Let that sick shit sink in for a minute. He makes money attacking murdered children, and their grieving families.
What kind of depraved mind does it take to do this, and worse, donate money to continue the unbelievable viscious attacking of murdered kids, their devastated families, to make money.
My emotional side wants him locked up for life. Never seen or heard from ever again. But, that's not how our justice system works. So, throw everything and the kitchen sink at him, hopefully something sticks!
