I think you'll enjoy this brief clip (3 min) when it's revealed the defense lawyer accidentally provided the plaintiffs a copy of his entire phone

Knowledge Fight podcast is great. Look for their Formulaic Objection episodes to see the crazy show all of the court things were.

how's your 401k doin' bruh?

LegalEagle[0] covered this shitshow in great detail with solid commentary. Can recommend.

This is when from when Jones' lawyer sent a copy of his phone to the opposition...

That was an impressively stupid and/or lazy fuck up, to a point where I think Jones could have a lawsuit against his attorneys there.

IANAL but it does seems like "sending an entire copy of your clients phone and making no effort to redact it" could be a thing that, you know, is bad counsel.

No, the lawyers can argue about the scope of what they show the jury during trial. There are plenty of rules against biasing or inflaming the jury with unrelated material.

Yes but they didn’t show anything irrelevant in the trial. It was idiotic to send a dump of the entire phone.

ALAB series covered it in amusing detail
