Alex Jones Ordered To Pay $1 Billion In Sandy Hook defamation trial

Alex Jones Ordered To Pay $1 Billion In Sandy Hook defamation trial, A Connecticut jury gave nearly $1 billion in damages to 15 people Alex Jones slandered when he said that the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School was faked by actors following a script written by the government to get people to support gun control.

As the plaintiffs sobbed in the gallery, the clerk read out the jury’s decision that they should get money for both slander and emotional pain.

Damages of $965 million were given on Wednesday, which is a lot more than what was given in a previous case in Texas. In that case, which was decided in August, he was told to pay just under $50 million.

Wednesday, the jury also gave the lawyers’ fees and costs.

Jones was on his radio show when the verdict was read. He told his listeners, “This must be what hell is like. They just told you how much money you owe, even though you don’t have the money.”

“This case was fixed from the beginning to the end,” Pattis said outside the courthouse. “We don’t agree with the reason why the default was made, and we don’t agree with the court’s decisions about the evidence.”

“I’ve been a lawyer for more than 200 trials, and I’ve never seen one like this,” he said.

In a statement, he said, “No one should ever have to go through the kind of harassment and persecution that Alex Jones caused, especially not the families of those who were killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School.” “Today, a jury in Connecticut sent a strong message that what he did to these families and a first responder was disgusting.”
