Chili gives Alex Jones amnesia and other odd things we learned at his custody trial
You ever eat something so goddamn delicious you momentarily lose your mind?
Neither have we. But apparently Infowars conspiracy-theorist-in-chief Alex Jones has. In a deposition during day two of his custody trial, an attorney working for his ex-wife Kelly insisted that Jones forgot what grade his kids were in after he consumed a bowl of chili.
Jones's custody battle with Kelly over their three children started off strangely and went weirder from there.
On Monday, his lawyer argued that Alex Jones plays a character on Infowars called Alex Jones. That went down well. By Tuesday, however, we were learning some truly memorable things about him. Here are a few highlights from the second day of the trial gleaned from reporters watching along.
