Alex Jones ordered to pay nearly $US1 billion in damages for Sandy Hook hoax claims, jury says

New York: Alex Jones must pay $US965 million ($1.5 billion) in damages to numerous families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting for falsely claiming they were actors who faked the tragedy, a Connecticut jury said on Wednesday, marking the second multimillion-dollar verdict against the conspiracy theorist in just over two months.

The verdict came after three weeks of testimony in a state court in Waterbury, Connecticut, not far from where a gunman killed 20 children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. Jones claimed for years that the massacre was staged as part of a government plot to take away Americans’ guns.

In August, another jury found that Jones and his company must pay $US49.3 million to Sandy Hook parents in a similar case in Austin, Texas, where the headquarters of Jones’ Infowars conspiracy theory website is located.

Lawyers for families of eight Sandy Hook victims during closing arguments in Connecticut last week said Jones cashed in for years on lies about the shooting, which drove traffic to his Infowars website and boosted sales of its various products.

The families, meanwhile, suffered a decade-long campaign of harassment and death threats by Jones’ followers, attorney Chris Mattei said.

“Every single one of these families (was) drowning in grief, and Alex Jones put his foot right on top of them,” Mattei told jurors.

Jones’ lawyer countered during his closing arguments that the plaintiffs had shown scant evidence of quantifiable losses. The attorney, Norman Pattis, urged jurors to ignore the political undercurrents in the case.

“This is not a case about politics,” Pattis said. “It’s about how much to compensate the plaintiffs.”

The trial was marked by weeks of anguished testimony from the families, who filled the gallery each day and took turns recounting how Jones’ lies about Sandy Hook compounded their grief. An FBI agent who responded to the shooting is also a plaintiff in the case.

Jones, who has since acknowledged that the shooting occurred, also testified and briefly threw the trial into chaos as he railed against his “liberal” critics and refused to apologise to the families.

Jones’ lawyers have said they hope to void most of the payout in the Texas case before it is approved by a judge, calling it excessive under state law.

Woman Arrested In Colorado Hit by Train After Cops Leave Patrol Car Parked on Tracks

View attachment 295591

As police cleared the woman's car from the scene, a train barreled through the cruiser -- with her in the back seat.

A 20-year-old woman has been hospitalized with "serious bodily injuries" after the police patrol car she was placed in was struck by a train.

Per the Colorado Bureau of Investigations, the incident went down in Fort Lupton, Colorado on Friday, September 16 -- after officers responded to a call about an alleged road rage incident involving a firearm. They located the vehicle and made a traffic stop "just past" railroad tracks, with police pulling behind the car on the tracks themselves.

20-year-old Yareni Rios-Gonzalez was detained and placed in to the back of cruiser, which was left on the tracks while officers cleared her vehicle as part of the investigation. It was then that a train struck the patrol car.

Sustaining what the CBI calls "serious bodily injuries," Rios-Gonzalez was taken to a nearby hospital for treatment. In an update on Monday, investigators said she remained hospitalized with "multiple injuries and is expected to survive." There were no other injuries.

The incident is now being investigated by numerous agencies, including the CBI, which is focused on Rios-Gonzalez's injuries. The Colorado State Patrol is "investigating the serious-injury traffic accident that occurred between the train and the Platteville Police Department patrol vehicle," while the Ft. Lupton Police Department is "handling the criminal investigation of the incidents leading up to the initial call for police assistance."

According to KDVR, the officer whose car was struck has been placed on paid administrative leave during the investigation.

"The Town of Platteville continues to work cooperatively with CBI and CSP during their investigation regarding this incident," Platteville Police Chief Carl Dwyer told the outlet.

I actually thought Dems were going to do something about this but they completely sold us out on the issue.
