From the Editor
Bankston's tenacity has led to victories across a broad spectrum of legal battles. Best known for his takedown of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones during a defamation trial involving the Sandy Hook mass shooting, Bankston's litigation range includes corporate negligence, product defects, defamation and police abuse. He is currently handling a defamation case against Elon Musk.
