In the Austin trial of the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, text messages show that Jones withheld key evidence in defamation lawsuits brought against him for lies he had spread about the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting, the New York Times reports. Jones had claimed for years that he had searched his phone for texts about the Sandy Hook cases and found none. The file with Jones’ texts is part of two years of archived data pulled from Jones’ cell phone and mistakenly delivered to opposing lawyers.
The parents’ lawyer, Mark Bankston, also presented financial records that contradicted Jones’ claim under oath that he was bankrupt, clips from his broadcasts maligning the judge and jury in the case and new evidence of Jones’ failure to produce court-ordered documents related to lies he spread about the mass shooting and its victims. Bankston estimated that the files relayed to him in apparent error by Jones’ lawyers contained several hundred gigabytes of material.
