A Connecticut judge has suspended the law license of the attorney representing Alex Jones in response to his allegedly improper handling of court documents in a Sandy Hook defamation case.
Attorney Norman Pattis improperly released court documents that included two years' worth of Jones' texts, several of the Sandy Hook families' medical records and other sensitive information, according to Judge Barbara Bellis.that he "failed to provide even the minimal amount of attention and care required when it came to handling the plaintiffs’ sensitive discovery materials.
"We cannot expect our system of justice or out attorneys to be perfect but we can expect fundamental fairness and decency," Bellis wrote. "There was no fairness or decency in the treatment of the plaintiffs’ most sensitive and personal information, and no excuse for [Pattis’] misconduct.
"12 days ago, your attorneys messed up and sent me an entire digital copy of your entire cell phone with every text message you've sent for the past two years ... and that is how I know you lied to me when you said you didn't have text messages about Sandy Hook," attorney Mark Bankston had said in court.
