Alex, you may have noticed is not here, like the plaintiffs. He may not be here through parts of the trial, said F. Andino Reynal, attorney for Jones, during jury selection on Monday.
Jones, Reynal said, has medical issues that prevent him from being present and that he has no obligation to be here.
In the spring, Jones was issued escalating $25,000 daily fines by a Connecticut judge for failing to show up for court-ordered depositions in March. His attorneys at the time provided a doctors note describing acute medical issues that were time-sensitive and potentially serious.
In a message on Infowars, Jones blamed stress and the cardiovascular effects of his COVID-19 infection last year for why he couldnt make the depositions. He eventually came to Connecticut for his deposition.

(22,838 posts)After all, the judge, court reporter, prosecutors, defense attorneys and the jury will all be present. The case will be presented and rebutted then presented to the jury. Alex Jones doesn't need to be in the courtroom.
In fact, his absence will probably subconsciously work against him since the jury will wonder why the coward isn't there. (No one will buy his health excuse BS.)
The best part, to me, is that this is only one of many defamation cases Jones will face. He's going to live in a world of hurt for quite some time.

During jury selection on Monday, Joness attorney, F. Andino Reynal, told the Austin courtroom that the founder of Infowars has medical issues that could keep him from showing up during parts of the trial, even though he has no obligation to be here.
Alex, you may have noticed, is not here, like the plaintiffs, said Reynal, according to the News-Times in Danbury, Conn. He may not be here through parts of the trial.....
While Reynal did not specify what medical issues could prevent the 48-year-old from attending the trial in person, Jones, who has already lost several defamation lawsuits related to his Sandy Hook falsehoods, has previously blamed stress and cardiovascular effects from his coronavirus infection for missing depositions in the Connecticut trial last year. Jones has also faced daily fines of $25,000 from a Connecticut judge for failing to show up for court-ordered depositions in March.
