Only $4M?  Lame.

 

Jury finds Alex Jones caused $4 million in damages to two Sandy Hook parents

 

Right-wing talk show host Alex Jones will have to pay the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim a little more than $4 million in compensatory damages, a jury decided Thursday, capping a stunning and dramatic case that showcased for the public the real-world harm inflicted by viral conspiracy theories.

 

The award from the jury was far less than what the plaintiffs, Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, had asked for. At the start of the trial, attorneys for Lewis and Heslin asked the jury to award their clients $150 million in compensatory damages.


A separate, shorter trial during which punitive damages will be discussed is now expected. Punitive damages are awarded when the court finds the defendant's behavior to be especially offensive.

Let us pray for a historic outcome that his bogus bankruptcy claims can't stop.

I believe the families are suing him separately, and there are maybe 20 families.

Point of clarification. He claimed his store was making that, but he is obviously a degenerate liar.

That $4M is nothing to Alex Jones.  The penalty won't be either.  He'll need all 20 other families to get $4M plus 2.5 x penalty or $16M per family to break him, especially when he has scumbags supporting him like this:

Question:  What is the limit for punitive damages?  Is it max 2.5x compensatory?  Or can it be higher?

 

Texas is capped at 2x compensatory.  The next round of litigation is in Connecticut where common law punitive damages are even more restrictive (though perhaps a Connecticut jury would be willing award higher damages for pain and suffering)
