@mathewm7136 …. No. He disclosed more information than any person in history, but he failed to have backups of video that YouTube hade since deleted. He was incapable of supplying video that he did not possess. Furthermore, the judge precluded his ability to show clips of his apologies, because she said that it would remove context and the court cannot show 2 hour InfoWars broadcasts, in order to provide the INSANE degree of context she was demanding.
.
Of course, that did not stop her from allowing clips of his statements, regardless of the context. Look, I get that AJ defamed, as Sean said. There is ZERO question that he should be financially punished for what he said. However, this “trial” is NOT about just getting punitive damages, it is awarding $90M to an FBI agent for AJ calling him an actor and a making a mean statement.
.
The judge FORCED the defense into a position in which they had no option but to plead “no contest”, because the judge needed that to be said in order to continue with his persecution. The state has weaponized the legal system to go after those that call their actions into question. AJ is an easy target, but the state wants precedent in which to provide an ongoing threat to ANYONE whom they feel may simply offend another against the states wishes.
.
AJ absolutely DID defame, but sure as hell nowhere near the level of his persecution.
