How screwed is Alex Jones? Well $49.3 Million in total screwed now. Alex Jones ordered to pay $49.3M total over Sandy Hook lies https://www.wral.com/economist-alex-jones-his-company-worth-up-to-270-million/20404870/ And we should point out this. Alex was crowing that he was victorious because the jury only awarded $4.1 million at first: Jurors at first awarded Heslin and Lewis $4.1 million in compensatory damages, which Jones called a major victory. And this is just the first parents suing!
I haven’t been keeping up with the specifics of this case but today’s figure got my attention. From what I understand Jones was broadcasting on the radio for some time. Was this all going on when he was on the radio and has any radio stations been sued yet?
Ocho, we need to know what recourse Jones will use to fight this civil lawsuit all the way to clown show SCOTUS?
Alex Jones will likely not have to pay anywhere near full $45M in damages to Sandy Hook parents due to Texas law that limits winnings to just $750,000 on each count, legal experts say While juries have broad discretion on awards, states law caps punitive damages at $750,000 when economic losses are not involved, as in this case. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/ar...-pay-near-45M-damages-Sandy-Hook-parents.html
There are a total of 20 children that were murdered...all the parents plan to sue individually for their own defamation suit against Alex Jones. This defamation award was only for the parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis. Simply, 18 more to go or 18 x 750,000 = 13.5 million dollars while each defamation lawsuit (each count) is capped at 750,000. That's how lawyers get around the Texas law that caps an individual defamation lawsuit. Lawyers will (as in this defamation lawsuit against Alex Jones) ask their clients to file individually instead of a class action (group) lawsuit. In contrast, there's now the new issue of perjury that occurred during the trial. It will now most likely traverse into a criminal issue against Alex Jones. If convicted, he'll get a slap on the wrist...1 year instead of 2 years in prison. Regardless, the world now knows he's a liar that stooped so low to enable his followers the ability to troll, stalk, harass and threaten the families of the murdered 20 children when he decided to give them their work addresses, home addresses and telephone numbers. The guy is a troll and stupid that now needs to begin coughing up money to those parents. wrbtrader
Pretty sure Abbott is responsible for that after having collected god knows how much when that tree fell on him. That hypocrite.
