Alex Jones told to pay nearly $1 billion to Sandy Hook families

The verdict in the second Alex Jones defamation case has resulted in the InfoWars host being forced to pay another chunk of money to families he slandered. This trial is taking place in Connecticut and looked at the damages that the families of Sandy Hook shooting victims faced as a result of Jones lying that the massacre never took place.

At least one family was forced to move about a dozen times due to ongoing threats as a result of the conspiracy theories crafted around the shooting.

Robbie Parker was one of those who faced attacks by Jones for years. He was often called out by name, with Jones claiming he was nothing more than an "actor."

In his final statements, one of the Sandy Hook lawyers, Christopher Mattei, urged the jury to award at least half a billion dollars for the harm that Jones caused his clients.

“You may say that is astronomical. It is,” Mattei said. “It’s exactly what Alex Jones set himself up to do. That’s what he built. He built a lie machine that could push this stuff out. You reap what you sow.”
