A person isn't lying if they think they are telling the truth.
- dymk 4y agoThat’s a lie
- lbriner 4y agoI assume you mean that it's a defence that you thought it was true so you didn't commit a crime. That might be true at the beginning but I'm sure high-profile people like Alex Jones have enough exposure for people to put them straight at which point it becomes less of an excuse!
- seb1204 4y agoThat was my initial assumption too. By now I think people like Alex Jones are so far removed that every decent, same and integer human being has left his bubble. Some out of disgust, some after they tried to influence him towards society. In the end they left for their own safety/sanity. This would also be an explanation why his defence was a mess. Amber Heard is a similar case. Lawyers who side with his views and find defendable positions might not be at the top of the lawyer ladder. It's a working theory.

- rsynnott 4y agoWhile that's broadly true, it's clearly not the case here.
