Summary

The Connecticut Appellate Court upheld a $965 million verdict against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones for spreading false claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre was a hoax, leading to threats and harassment of victims’ families and an FBI agent.

While affirming the historic compensatory damages, the court vacated $150 million in punitive damages tied to Connecticut’s Unfair Trade Practices Act, reducing Jones’s total liability to $1.2 billion, including a prior Texas ruling.

Jones plans to appeal, but Sandy Hook families view the decision as a significant step toward justice.

    Hey if we can put this case in front of enough judges maybe one will agree with us.

    Who’s the next judge and see if they want a motorcoach?
