WATERBURY I'M DYLAN FEARON CHANNEL THREE EYEWITNESS NEWS
ALL RIGHT, DYLAN. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH AS YOU MENTIONED EACH
PLAINTIFF RECEIVING MILLIONS OF
DOLLARS. BUT THERE IS STILL A
LOT TO BREAK DOWN HERE WHETHER
THEY WILL SEE THAT MONEY. HE
SEEMS TO BE SAYING HE DOESN'T
HAVE IT ALREADY. LEGAL ANALYST
RYAN MCG WIGAN IS JOINING US NOW
IN OUR NEWSROOM TO BREAK DOWN
MORE OF TODAY'S VERDICT. RYAN
GOOD TO SEE YOU. I KNOW THERE'S
REALLY A LOT WE COULD TALK ABOUT
HERE, BUT I'M CURIOUS FIRST, IF
YO'RE SURPRISED BY THIS
OUTCOME, AND REALLY, WHAT ARE
THE CHANCES THAT THEY CAN GET
MONEY FROM HIM? AH IT IS A
HISTORIC VERDICT. IT'S A LOT
BIGGER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD
BE. AH BUT THE QUESTION ALWAYS
REMAINS IS WHETHER OR NOT
THERE'S GOING TO BE THE ABILITY
TO COLLECT ANY OF THIS MONEY
FROM ALEX JONES AND FROM FROM
INFO WARS, YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE
TO HAVE FIRST AND FOREMOST, UH,
SOME SOME SORT OF AH, UM,
DECISION ON ON HIS BANKRUPTCY
PROCEEDINGS IN THE STATE OF
TEXAS, UH AND THEN THERE'S A $45
MILLION JUDGMENT IN TEXAS.
THAT'S GOING TO HAVE TO BE
APPEALED. UH HUH. AND THEN YOU
WILL HAVE TO THEN CHASED AFTER
THE CONNECTICUT VERDICT. YOU'LL
HAVE TO SO THIS THIS IS GOING TO
BE A LONG DRAWN OUT PROCESS. AH
FROM TODAY. TO SUNDAY DOWN THE
ROAD WHEN WE HAVE, YOU KNOW A
CHECK ACTUALLY GETTING TO THESE
VICTIMS. FEMA QUICK AND I WANTED
TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS. THE INFO
WARS HOST ALEX JONES, SPEAKING
ON HIS SHOW JUST NOW, I RECEIVED
A TEXT OF A SOUND BITE FROM HIS
SHOW, HE SAYS. I PERSONALLY
DON'T HAVE $2 MILLION, THE
COMPANY'S ALMOST COMPLETELY OUT
OF MONEY OR IN BANKRUPTCY. AS
YOU MENTIONED THERE'S TWO
APPEALS. IT'LL TAKE YEARS. THIS
IS JUST ABSOLUTELY MADE UP. IT
IS A JOKE. WE WERE TALKING THIS
ENTIRE TIME ABOUT HOW THE TRUTH
MATTERS AND WHAT THESE VICTIMS
FAMILIES WERE SAYING. CAN HE
STILL JUST WITH FREEDOM OF
SPEECH BEHIND HIM? GO OFF AND
SAY WHATEVER HE WANTS TO COURSE,
PEOPLE CAN AND YOU AND YOU CAN
CONTINUE TO SAY WHAT YOU WANT TO
AND THEN THEY CAN CONTINUE TO BE
CONSEQUENCES FOR THOSE THINGS.
UH WHAT ALEX JONES IS CLAIMING
IS THAT HE'S JUDGMENT PROOF. AND
THEREFORE HE CAN SAY WHATEVER HE
WANTS WITH WITHOUT ANY
CONSEQUENCES. UH AND IF HE
THINKS THAT, YOU KNOW, A BILLION
DOLLAR JUDGMENT ISN'T A
CONSEQUENCE. UM THEN, YOU KNOW,
I GUESS THAT'S THE KIND OF GUY
THAT THAT HE IS. BUT WITH, UM IN
THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE WHO HAVE, UM
OUTLANDISH IDEAS ARE ARE ABLE TO
VOICE THEM. AND IF THEY HAVE
THEIR OWN PLATFORM, THEN THEY
CAN VOICE THEM ON THEIR OWN
PLATFORM. RYAN BEFORE WE LET YOU
GO. WHAT WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?
OBVIOUSLY IT HAS BEEN A LONG DAY
ALONG FEW WEEKS. MY GOODNESS.
HORRIBLE DECADE FOR THESE
FAMILIES. WHAT WHAT HAPPENS
NEXT? IN THIS PROCESS
IMMEDIATELY, THERE'S GOING TO BE
A MOTION TO SET ASIDE THE
VERDICT. UH THERE'S GOING TO BE
YOUR ALREADY HEARD HEARD NORM,
SAYING THAT HE'S DONE OVER 200
TRIALS, AND HE'S NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE, AND
THAT'S KIND OF COMMON. THAT'S
THE KIND OF THINGS THAT YOU SAY
BEFORE YOU'RE MOVING TO SET
ASIDE THE VERDICT AND SAYING
THAT THERE WAS SOMETHING
PROCEDURALLY WRONG. WITH THIS
TRIAL FIRST OFF, THEY'RE GOING
TO CLAIM THAT THERE SHOULDN'T
HAVE BEEN A DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND
SECOND OF ALL, WITH THE HEARING
ON DAMAGES, THAT THERE WAS
SOMETHING PROCEDURALLY WRONG
WITH THE INSTRUCTION TO THE JURY
. SECOND OF ALL, THERE'S GOING
TO BE A MOTION FOR REMITTED HER
, SAYING THAT THIS WAS A RUNAWAY
VERDICT. IT WAS FAR IN EXCESS OF
WHAT WAS FAIR AND WHAT WAS JUST
AH, AND AFTER THOSE ARE DEALT
WITH THEN THERE WILL BE THE
DIRECT APPEAL OF THE CASE ITSELF
HERE AND IN TEXAS, AND THEN WHEN
ALL THAT IS SAID AND DONE, THEN
YOU'LL HAVE TO BE CHASING AFTER
WHAT MONEY MR. JONES HAS
PERSONALLY AND WHAT ASSETS ARE
LEFT OF INFO WARS. SO UM, I
THINK THAT THIS THIS WAS A, UM
IT WAS A VICTORY FOR THE FOR THE
FAMILIES. IT WAS A MORAL VICTORY
. BUT IN TERMS OF MONEY, I DON'T
KNOW HOW MUCH MONEY THEY'RE
ACTUALLY GOING TO EVER SEE. IT
COULD BE A LONG ROAD AHEAD AS
YOU SAID ATTORNEY RYAN MCG,
RIGGEN THANK YOU SO MUCH
