jonski43 Posted August 4, 2022 Posted August 4, 2022 Far right radio host, Alex Jones, lawyer "accidentally" sends all his texts to the lawyers for the parents of Sandy Hook victims. Quote
Kurt420 Posted August 5, 2022 Posted August 5, 2022 Just $4 million? Not enough for what he's put those families through. I don't think you can put monetary value on it but after they asked for $150 million, seems like somewhat of a slap in the face to the families. This man calls himself a "performance artist". So, even though he knows what he says isn't true, even though he knows his supporters lap it up and will harass these families, he as recently as this week has said Sandy Hook is fake and the families are "actors". He was also at 1/6 insurrection. Really hope he gets investigated and a proper punishment. Enough of is enough of this bullshit. Quote

They're now going to work out what he owes the victims. Quote

Jazzy Jan Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Alex Jones has been ordered to pay Sandy Hook families nearly $US1 billion. He says he won't pay it Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $US965 million ($1.5 billion) in damages to families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre for falsely claiming they were actors who faked the tragedy. "Do these people actually think they're getting any of this money?" Jones said on a live broadcast of his Infowars show on Tuesday as the decision was being read in court. So, will they? Let's revisit the basics on the case. Jones is an American conspiracy theorist and right-wing host and operator of Infowars. For years, he claimed the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre — where 20 students and six teachers died — was staged as part of a government plot to take away Americans' guns. On Thursday, he was ordered to pay $US965 million ($1.5 billion) to families of eight Sandy Hook Elementary School victims, plus an FBI agent who was among the first responders. The plaintiffs said Jones turned their loss and trauma into years of torment by promoting the lie that the rampage was a hoax. A Texas jury in August also awarded nearly $US49.3 million ($78.5 million) to the parents of another child killed in the tragedy, in a separate trial. Both lawsuits accused Jones and Infowars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems, of using the mass killing to build his audience and make millions of dollars. Experts testified that Jones’s audience swelled, as did his revenue from product sales, when he made Sandy Hook a topic on the show. Jones also faces a third trial at the end of the year, also in Texas, in a lawsuit filed by the parents of another child killed in the shooting. Families of the victims wept as the decision was handed down. Outside court, they said they hoped to finally grieve in peace. Erica Lafferty, the daughter of slain Sandy Hook principal Dawn Hochsprung, testified that people mailed rape threats to her house. "I wish that, after today, I can just be a daughter grieving my mother and stop worrying about the conspiracy theorists," she said. However, she predicted that Jones's "hate, lies and conspiracy theories will follow both me and my family through the rest of our days". Robbie Parker — who lost his 6-year-old daughter, Emilie — said outside the Connecticut court that he was proud that "what we were able to accomplish was just to simply tell the truth". "And it shouldn't be this hard, and it shouldn't be this scary," said Mr Parker, who became an early focus for conspiracy theorists after he spoke at a news conference the day after the shooting. Mark Barden testified that conspiracy theorists urinated on the grave of his 7-year-old son, Daniel, and threatened to dig up the coffin. Can Jones pay the $US1 billion judgement? It is unclear how much Jones can actually afford to pay from the verdicts. During the trial in Texas, he testified he couldn't afford any judgement over $US2 million, and his lawyers said they planned to appeal and try to reduce the damages. He also told the Texas jury he was "bankrupt", referring to his filing for bankruptcy for Free Speech Systems in late July. However, economist Bernard Pettingill Jr. testified in this proceeding that Jones and his company were worth as much as $US270 million. "Do these people actually think they’re getting any of this money?” Jones said on a live broadcast on his Infowars website on Tuesday as the verdict was being read Journalist and author of Sandy Hook, Elizabeth Williamson, said the decision was "financially ruinous for Alex Jones". "He is not wealthy enough to pay this judgement," she said. During his live broadcast on Tuesday, Jones appealed to his audience to send him donations — but the money wasn't for the victims. "The money you donate does not go to these people [the plaintiffs]. It goes to fight this fraud and it goes to stabilise this company [Infowars]." With a sum of money so large — not to mention the additional $US49.3 million ($78.5 million) he was ordered to pay a family in the first trial, and a third trial looming — it poses the question: Will families ever receive the full compensation.

Jazzy Jan Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 He is such a disgusting person. Deliberately spreading lies to gain money for himself for years. Has no ethics and is cruel to the extreme. Even now he is begging for donations from his delusional and stupid audience to "fight this fraud and stabilise his company Infowars" The pain and trauma he has caused to the families of this horrific shooting is beyond horrible. So glad he has been ordered to pay 1 billion dollars. Quote
air1975 Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Terrible human being. His company needs to be shut down so he can't spread this disinformation. Quote
