In her ruling, obtained by the PA news agency, Mrs Justice Steyn said it was "likely" that Rebekah Vardy's then-agent, Caroline Watt, "undertook the direct act" of passing the information to The Sun newspaper.

"Nonetheless, the evidence... clearly shows, in my view, that Mrs Vardy knew of and condoned this behaviour, actively engaging in it by directing Ms Watt to the private Instagram account, sending her screenshots of Mrs Rooney's posts, drawing attention to items of potential interest to the press, and answering additional queries raised by the press via Ms Watt," she added.

Mrs Justice Steyn continued: "In my judgment, the conclusions that I have reached as to the extent to which the claimant engaged in disclosing to the Sun information to which she only had access as a permitted follower of an Instagram account which she knew, and Mrs Rooney repeatedly asserted, was private, suffice to show the single meaning is substantially true."

I haven’t seen anything about a costs order yet, but it’s quite possible Vardey will have to pay Rooney’s costs as well her own. As well as trashing her own reputation she could find herself having to pay out a few million in lawyers fees.

Proceeding with the case and then lying through her teeth throughout the trial demonstrates weapons grade stupidity on her part.

Interesting. In a bad way. Have US military aircraft never overflown Taiwan before? Or other military been there.

Olympic gold medallist Matt Walls was hospitalised after being sent flying over the barriers and into the crowd following a huge crash on day three of the Commonwealth Games track cycling, which also saw spectators hurt.

Walls’ GB team-mate Matt Bostock, a Manx rider, was also caught up in the multi-rider crash, with both athletes being taken by ambulance to hospital alongside Canadian rider Derek Gee. One man in the crowd received treatment for cuts to his arm while a young girl also received minor attention.

It was, however, brilliant that his dumb lawyers sent all of his text messages for the last two years to the parents' lawyers by mistake, proving that he had lied under oath.

I'm wondering if there was an element of 'accidently-on-purpose' to that.

I did wonder that as well, particularly as they didn't take any steps to protect the information when informed of their mistake. From the Guardian report:

"The revelation surfaced during an exchange in an Austin, Texas, courtroom between Jones and Mark Bankston, a lawyer representing the parents of a six-year-old boy killed in the 2012 attack. ....

Bankston provided to the Infowars host a copy of a text message he received that criticized his platform’s coverage in 2020 of coronavirus and likened it to his false theory that the Sandy Hook killings were fake. This was deeply unfavorable to Jones because he had provided sworn testimony at a deposition that he had no text messages on his phone that referenced the Sandy Hook massacre.

“You did get my text messages?” Jones asked Bankston, while on the witness stand. Chuckling sarcastically, Jones added: “You said you didn’t. Nice trick.”

Bankston replied: “Do you know where I got this? Your attorneys messed up and sent me a digital copy of your entire cellphone, with every text message you’ve sent for the past two years.”

Bankston said he told Jones’s lawyers about the mistake, but they did not take “any steps” to label the texts as privileged, and thereby keep them out of court.

“That is how I know you lied when you said you didn’t have text messages about Sandy Hook,” said Bankston, whose clients are Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, the father and mother of Jesse Lewis, who died in the shooting.

Jones tried to parry by saying he would not have turned his phone over to the attorneys who then inadvertently forwarded the texts to Bankston if he was trying to hide anything. ....

“You know what perjury is, right?” Bankston said, referring to the crime of lying under oath. “I just want to make sure before we go further.”

I'd certainly be tempted - I can only imagine how hard it is to defend someone you'd rather just throw through a window. It's not just defending people you know are guilty, which is simply professionally executing your duties and responsibilities to the court, it's defending people who are abhorrent.

If I was a defence lawyer I'd happily take one in the loss column to see Alex Jones slapped down. Which is one of many reasons I'd make a bad lawyer.

It just gets better, & better.

The plaintiffs lawyers have now been approached by multiple agencies, & lawyers, including the Jan 6th Committee, (to whom he plead the 5th); seeking the 2 years worth of text messages, & emails, & now there's no reason they can't see them

I hope all he's left with is a bucket & squigy, so he can stand at freeway exits, begging for spare change.
