American conspiracy theorist Alex Jones should pay $965 million to people who suffered from his false claim that Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax, a jury in Connecticut decides
Jones claimed for years the Sandy Hook shooting was"staged" by gun control activists and that the parents were"crisis actors."
Jones, the founder of the notorious website Infowars and host of a popular radio show, has been found liable in multiple defamation lawsuits brought by parents of the victims of the shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, which left 20 children and six teachers dead. During a live broadcast as the verdict was read, Jones vowed to appeal and said his company's ongoing bankruptcy will protect Infowars in the meantime.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.
