Per the sixth amendment, you have a right to a fair trial, but that was never the case for Info Wars host Alex Jones.
After losing a $1 billion dollar lawsuit (Alex Jones is not even close to being worth $1 billion too) a Connecticut Judge has now decided to suspend the law license of Alex Jones’ lawyer Norman Pattis.
The suspension came after Pattis mistakenly released over 4,000 documents during the discovery process.

Yahoo News shared these details:
The law license of an attorney for right-wing conspiracy podcaster Alex Jones has been suspended for six months by a Connecticut judge who determined that he improperly and recklessly released confidential medical records about Sandy Hook families during a defamation case against Jones.
Jones, host of shows on his notorious Infowars website, lost major defamation lawsuits in Texas and Connecticut for claiming that the horrific 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, was a hoax.
Twenty first-grade children and six adults were killed by a lone gunman, yet Jones insisted the children’s deaths weren’t real and that images of their sobbing parents were staged by “crisis actors” in a fake anti-gun stunt set up by the U.S. government. The families were viciously harassed by Jones’ followers as the host of extremist website and radio shows repeatedly ranted about them on his programs.
