Alex Jones Trial: Private Emails, Texts & Roger Stone Convos Revealed

NEWTOWN, CT — Astonishingly, matters may have gotten even worse for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

During Wednesday's testimonies in Austin, TX, it was revealed the radio host's attorney Andino Reynal had accidentally sent a large volume of his client's private texts and emails to the legal team representing Sandy Hook parents Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin. According to the parents' attorney, the data indicates that Jones had been communicating with others about Sandy Hook in recent years, contrary to his earlier testimony.

Reynal filed a protective order seeking to bar his opposition from using the emails and text messages against his client, and asked the judge for a mistrial. He didn't get one.

On Thursday, it came to light that the phone download also included "intimate messages with Roger Stone," according to the News-Times. Stone was a colleague of former President Donald Trump who was subpoeaned by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol insurrection alongside Jones in November 2021, the Associated Press reported last year.

The radio host is in the tail end of the first of three trials for Sandy Hook families who won defamation lawsuits against him. The purpose of the current trial, the first of two in Texas, is to determine how much the radio host owes Lewis and Heslin in damages. On Monday, attorneys for the parents told jurors they were looking for $150 million, according to Reuters. The decision is expected this week, and at least 10 of the 12 jurors must agree on a verdict.
