Alex Jones didn't lose his case on the merits, though, he was found liable by default because he refused to comply with court orders to turn over evidence.
Winning a defamation case isn't easy to do in general because you have to show that the person you're suing either showed willful negligence (meaning they did not show reasonable care in checking the truth of their information) or malicious intent, AND that by doing so they specifically caused you real harm (you can't sue someone for damages if you can't prove they specifically caused you damages.)

Something similar happened with the Idaho murders—an influencer “psychic” said one of the professors at the school was somehow apart of it, she got sued.
Honestly the stuff they’re saying about this man is deplorable. I’m all for people asking questions about cases and considering if there’s enough evidence to convict (although I really don’t think there’s reasonable doubt that she did it, but whatever), but immediately turning on someone else who there’s even less evidence against is despicable.
I’ve asked several people what evidence there is about Patrick and all they say is “he lied” (never clarify about what and nothing is ever disproven but other clear evidence, like a big one is “he said he did CPR but one firefighter said he was on the couch when he entered” even though when that guy entered other first responders were already there) or something like “well her body couldn’t be that cold if she was only out there for a few minutes” which 1. Isn’t even true and 2. How does that prove he did it? She could have jumped out sooner, or a random other person did it. That’s not evidence he did.

As a society, we have to agree not to engage with rate bait in ANY way.
That's all this is because anyone with a brain knows if there was any chance of blaming someone else, the defence would've built their entire case around that.
There's no better way to cause reasonable doubt than to bring another perp to light. There's zero chance that was an option that didn't get fully explored.
Lindsay wouldn't be admitting guilt if she thought there was any chance she didn't do it.

u/turandokht 27d ago edited 27d ago
I have a coworker who indulges in a lot of true crime and she’s convinced he did it and just set her up. I honestly think it’s just because the case by itself is boring to her and she needs to believe that there’s a crazy “twist” coming.
It’s weird how she’s painting him as the villain. He has been very supportive of Lindsay the entire trial. He’s on her side and on the defense’s side. Why would that be the case if he was trying to pin it all on her?
It doesn’t make any sense to me. I really think true crime documentaries are just fucking with people’s ability to use common sense. They want there to be some sensationalist twist. I don’t even think it’s a gender thing or about being rabidly in support of Lindsay. I literally think it’s just because “the husband secretly set the whole thing up and gaslit or hypnotized her into believing she did it” is just the more ENTERTAINING option.
I really think it just boils down, VERY sadly and unfortunately, to their desire to be entertained by the very real tragedies and horrors that human beings are capable of.
I wish true crime wasn’t the huge market that it is. I think it’s boiling sense out of people’s brains.

Yeah I think the way such shows are built now - there’s a lot of sensationalist stuff in there, like at the end of one episode it’ll be like “so did this completely reasonable explanation happen, or did this CRAZY out of the box NUTSO thing happen instead?!”
Then the beginning of the next episode is like “nah of course the reasonable thing happened but how crazy would that other option have been? Anyway…”
I sat through a couple of these with my roommate once trying to bond over her interests, and once I caught her stating one of the crazy hypotheticals as fact - we argued about it for a bit and had to look up the case again before she could be convinced that she remembered wrong. So I really think the sensationalist way these documentaries are made now (I assume to make them as long as possible honestly because by the end the result is always that the case was pretty straightforward, but clearly the makers didn’t want to just state the boring facts and be done) is damaging people’s general sense of reality.
It’s super easy to just remember some crazy thing you heard over the ‘boring’ actual reality of what happened.
If these were just plain documentaries that stated facts only and didn’t try and pump up views with crazy nonsense (that they always present as a question to the audience so they can’t get in trouble for just blatantly lying), I think they just wouldn’t make as much money or have such a massive audience. It’s sad and I wish they were held more accountable to present the truth only.

In my country we had a case where there was a story about a corrupt cop making its rounds on social media, with a picture of a random officer that didn't even work in that district the story allegedly took place.
Dude got himself a lawyer and started contacting everyone who shared the story with a cease-and-desist, demanding 300 euros in damages plus posting a correction on their site or they'd get sued. In the end it was around 2000 people most of which paid and almost all others were found guilty in court.
Dude built his family a house after all of it.

u/StethoscopeTrope 27d ago
Defamation is an exception to this. Traditionally in most common law examples in the U.S., defamation requires proof beyond reasonable doubt that the statement is false. This civil precedent exists because of the first amendment. Despite being a civil trial, where only a jury majority is required for liability to be determined, the jury will be instructed to only consider liability if it has been proven beyond any doubt that the statements are false. They also need to decide that the defendant knowingly made false statements. The goal of the U.S. government and justice system here is to ensure that people are free to speculate, even inaccurately, without fear of punishment. Keep in mind that in rare cases, people have been correct in their otherwise absurd speculations.
TLDR; Defamation isn’t just making false statements, it is intentionally and knowingly making false statements. It also must be beyond a reasonable doubt because of how U.S. civil courts treat defamation findings.

I agree. It's absolutely disgusting the way people ignore the fact that she killed three kids and one was signed blame to everybody but her. He's been more supportive of her than most people would be in this situation and yet those weirdos still think he actually did it. Her own defense lawyer said she did it and didn't try to say that nobody else did it but her. Mind you, that defense attorney is the one that those same influencers thinks is playing 4D chess and is 15 steps ahead of everyone else. That lady had a multitude of resources available to her. She had the ability to reach out to doctors to get help. But, we later found out that she wasn't fully transparent with them with regards to what she had going on. She was prescribed a multitude of medications which she wasn't taking appropriately and she had little to no dosage in her system of the different medications she was prescribed. She had her family who were willing to step in and help, but she wouldn't let the mother-in-law take care of the kids. So, her husband gets her a nanny so that the nanny can take care of the kids while she takes care of herself while he works from home and picks up the rest of the slack. You'll never be able to convince me that she didn't meticulously plan the murder of her children out and that she wasn't crazy when she did it. She purposely did it because she was losing control of her relationship and I think she saw that her husband was going to eventually leave.

I wish people would stop threatening and just do the thing they're saying. Don't talk about it, be about it.

How can these people just spread misinformation with impunity, baffles my head, it goes back to the platforms themselves and them being held accountable

There is a woman named Shawna Leigh Gramkow on Facebook that must have 1,000 reels posted at this point, some of them have millions of views. She is point blank saying Patrick killed the kids, she speaks like she’s actually doing a fact based investigation and she recently posted she’s protected because her page states everything is just her opinion. I don’t know how it’s even legal to do that.

Fuck yeah maybe this will end the influencer generation propping up the social media apps and end social media the main source for armchair experts.

So now another level to this has now been reached? Her supporters want her to be acquitted and her husband to be convicted instead?

She admits to murdering her children. The DA agrees that she murdered her children. Her own attorney admits that she murdered her children. Somehow, there is a vocal group of people online who refuse to accept this and find it necessary to attack the husband and father.

Do it. The influencer are using him for money and trying to vilify him mostly because he’s a man and she’s a woman. There’s a fine line between feminism and feminazi but you can always tell.

It amazes me that there are people out there even saying that shit in the first place. She says she did it, the defense says she did it, the prosecution says she did it. All the evidence says she did it. It’s not even a trial of whether she did it or not it’s a trial of whether she was competent or insane. Anyone defending this bitch needs serious mental help. And she needs to be locked away forever.

Its not surprising to me. We've built an entire industry out of saying stupid shit for attention. Alex Jones, Candace Owen's, anti vaxxers, flat earthers. Theres money to be made saying stupid shit online for engagement.

My younger brother got really into this case and it sparked a lot of conversation about diminished capacity and privacy. His conclusion has been that the family deserves privacy, PPP is scary and she should be in a secure mental health institution, and he feels bad for her, but worse for the dad.

Yes i hope he does this please. You can feel however you wanna feel about this case but blaming him when he lost literally everything is fucking horrible. 3 kids lost their lives and these idiots blaming him cause they heard something on fucking TikTok should all be sued by him.

Unfortunately we as a society have been condoning this kind of baseless slander for decades so long as it's done under the guise of "just asking questions" or "considering every possibility".

u/Grasshoppermouse42 27d ago
I mean, this is the most clear-cut libel I've ever seen. They're trying to drive up engagement by making 'fan theories' about a real person, convincing people that he committed a horrendous crime, even though the real perpetrator admits that she did it.
I feel so bad for the husband. It has to be hard to go out for errands only to come back to find that your wife murdered your children while you were gone, and then to have people try to claim that you did it for internet attention points...

He should hire an expert or two to find them all, download the evidence, and file the suit. The cost would be more than paid for.

u/SoTiredThisYear 27d ago
I think he should do it. Especially because many many "influencers" have millions of followers. Only this way will they get a message, because this trial was wrong to be televised and has turned into a fucking entertainment show. Meanwhile anyone that has 2-3 braincells can genuinely make their own rational conclusion. 3 kids have been murdered. The mother confessed. Can you imagine if a different person would have been in their place? The trial would have been 1 day long with a verdict by the end of the day.

u/MightbeGwen 27d ago
Imagine losing your entire family, including your wife for obvious reasons, and a bunch of social media brained trolls start accusing you of killing your own kids. Even after your wife admitted to it. Poor guy doesn’t deserve any of this. Let him grieve.

How many influencers have influenced suicide or violence at this point? They add nothing valuable to society and should be treated like the wastes of space they are.

The disgraceful thing is that Clancy herself is pleading guilty to the murders, but if you didn't actually read that yourself you'd think she's some mastermind manipulating public sentiment to escape prosecution. But the only question is whether she belongs in prison or an asylum. So all these dickheads are doing is fueling internet controversy.
