WATERBURY, Conn. — Alex Jones has been ordered to pay eight families of Sandy Hook victims and an FBI agent $965 million for both slander and emotional damages.

Attorney's fees will be awarded at a later date.

The families of victims sitting in the gallery broke down as the verdict was read.

After the verdict was read, Jones's attorney Norm Pattis spoke to the media outside the courthouse.

It's Texas, so they can't touch his house and this won't survive appeal.

Keep in mind there are Pharma companies that killed scores of people that paid less than this.

Eric Holder says


Alex Jones was wrong.


Is there some legal obligation to be right?

My point is that Alex Jones is being persecuted because he is politically incorrect. It's about politics, not about the law.

Current case is being heard in Alexandria, VA just south of DC.


Good point. I use to live in Alexandria, VA about a mile from Huntington Metro station.

That means the best that you can hope for as a "jury of your peers" is a bunch of Democrats who want Trump tried for treason, still wear masks, and are waiting on their seventh COVID vaccine shot.

But at least you won't get a stacked jury full of violent AntiFa and Woke statists :-/

Alex Jones just had a program saying that lower dimensional aliens stranded on earth have presented themselves as gods to the Globalists. If the Globalists kill most of humanity, the aliens have promised to merge with them and hybridize, to create inter dimensional technology to leave the earth.

It figures that the Globalists are alien fuckers.

In Texas, your house is immune from civil judgement.
Likewise, qualified retirement accounts (IRA, 401K, annuity, 403b)
I hope he had the foresight to have a big retirement account somewhere.
O.J. Simpson has a $30 million civil judgement and he lives on his NFL pension.

Yes, it is nice that it applies nationwide. It includes employer sponsored retirements also like pensions like you mentioned OJ's NFL pension. I guess that applies to government pensions as well.

And its nice to know that Florida also protects homestead homes: https://www.alperlaw.com/florida-asset-protection/

Now if we could just make homes immune from eminent domain.

"Lower dimensional aliens trapped on earth sue Alex Jones 1.5 billion for slandering them as facilitators of Globalist terror!"

I have no horse in the Sandy Hook race, refuse to expend my brain cells doing the 'deep dive' required of conspiracy theories on that one, but this article is interesting;
"Judge Barbara Bellis, had eliminated the fact-finding part of this defamation trial, by making a default judgment against Jones. Had there been a real massacre, here was Jones' chance to present his conspiracy theory and let the other side subpoena witnesses to prove him wrong. Whenever I see a judge acting abnormally (as in the Boston Marathon case, in which I was an amicus curiae), I know he or she has been instructed to ignore the rules. One must ask why?"
Directed verdict means she was told not to allow any evidence into a court of law, and the ridiculous damages will be overturned on appeal. Similar things happened at 9/11 where they didn't want claims getting into the records of evidentiary process of court, so claims were all settled under pressure out of court as expeditiously as possible.

You all see how the Woke statists and left wing authoritarians have infected the judicial system ?

Not only with this recent ruling but look at how they let Cruz only get life in prison for murdering all those people in Stoneman high school in Florida.

Its dystopia justice.

I initially bought into Jones, then thought he's paid opposition, coming back around to he might be legitimate. Regardless this whole thing is Clown World. Just makes me question Sandy Hook even more.

I watched the coverage of Sandy Hook as it happened. I understand why Jones thought it was a hoax. Shit was WAY off and both my wife and I thought it was a hoax.

Even if it wasn't a hoax. $1B for saying something??? That's absurd. Also was god damn near a decade ago. I'd be upset if my child died, but at some point you need to figure out how to heal. The families were likely set for life from fundraisers and insurance. This is just a lawyer ambulance chaser grab in all honesty. If Jones does actually pay out you know $300M is going to attorneys. If people think that's justice for a person saying words, then you're a moron. Get thicker skin.

Price negotiation is all about "where do we start?" If you ask for $900+ million, the next court will reduce the penalty, but by how much? Even a 90% reduction leaves a $90 million payout, likely enough to bankrupt Jones. His net worth is in dispute but numbers range from $40 - $135 million. This was the goal all along - remove a chess piece from the board.

You're looking too low Wookie. It's an automic bomb to the 1st amendment.

If the Woke statists can use the law against you, they will use the civil courts and
$2500 misinformation fines" to grind you down.

Look at how the authoritarian left is twisting the arm of companies using ESG score. The same authoritarian left and Woke statists are jealous of the Chicoms with their COVID lockdowns, political dissident prisons, social credit score system, etc.

So if they can't put you behind bars because the pesky Bill of Rights is in their way, and if they can't do enough like dox you and get you fired from your job, then they'll relentlessly find other ways.
