Alex Jones’ lawyer avoids discipline over records release
Published By admin with Comments 1
WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut judge on Tuesday ruled that a Texas lawyer for conspiracy theorist Alex Jones committed misconduct but will not be disciplined in connection with the improper disclosure of confidential medical records of relatives of Sandy Hook school shooting victims.
Attorney Andino Reynal, based in Houston, failed to safeguard the sensitive information and failed to take adequate steps after discovering the improper disclosure, Judge Barbara Bellis wrote in her decision.
Reynal did not immediately return a phone message seeking comment Tuesday.
The Sandy Hook families’ lawyers gave the medical records to Jones’ attorney in Connecticut, Norm Pattis, as part of discovery in the families’ lawsuit against Jones for calling the school shooting a hoax. The case went to trial in Connecticut in September and resulted in Jones being ordered to pay more than $1.4 billion in damages to the families.
