On Wednesday, infamous conspiracy theorist Alex Jones took the stand to testify in the defamation suit against him brought by parents of children slain in the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting. In a twist that felt pulled from a movie script, a lawyer for the parents—who are suing Jones for spreading lies that the massacre was faked—said Jones’ lawyers accidentally sent him the entire contents of Jones’ phone nearly two weeks ago.
Mark Bankston, the parents’ lawyer, was in the middle of questioning Jones about emails Jones has sent and received about the shooting over the years. When Jones said that he simply couldn’t find any emails about Sandy Hook—even though one was literally being shown on-screen in the courtroom—Bankston proceeded to read him for filth:
Twelve days ago, your attorneys messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone of every text you’ve sent for the past two years. And when informed, did not take any steps to identify it as privileged or protected in any way. As of 12 days ago, it fell free and clear into my possession. That is how I know you lied to me when you said you didn’t have the text messages about Sandy Hook. Did you know that?
Jones continued to deny wrongdoing and claimed, “If I was mistaken, I was mistaken.”
Bankston responded: “You know what perjury is, right?”
