Alex Jones Just Lost 2 Sandy Hook Cases

44. My experience is the same.

The worst I ever saw was a federal judge who imposed a $7000 penalty on a lawyer for failing to produce documents, saying they didn’t exist. They did, he had just taken the client’s word that they didn’t. The documents were ordered to be produced, and a larger financial penalty was imposed on the client, but the court also specified that the lawyer, not the client, and not his firm, was to pay his penalty.

The same judge ordered an attorney who had turned a deposition into a mockery with frivolous objections, many of which were used to signal answers to the witness, to prepare a CLE presentation on abusive discovery techniques. He was also ordered to give the presentation to his partners, and to read the sanctions order to them, first.
