Episode notes
Being In The Room With Alex Jones
- Dan and Jordan attended Alex Jones's trial in Austin and described arriving, seating, and the atmosphere in court.
- They noted Alex's unimpressive appearance and surprisingly muted room reaction when he entered, reducing expected spectacle.
Opening Statements Need An Arc
- Mark's opening had emotional structure and context while Alex's defense lacked coherent narrative and delivery.
- Effective openings need an arc and clear pieces that fit into 'what happened' to persuade jurors.
Watching Full Videos Is A Poor Defense
- The defense repeatedly demanded viewers watch whole videos for context, which is unrealistic and shields responsibility.
- Relying on 'watch everything' lets speakers evade accountability because no one has time to verify extensive footage.
