Court slashes $50M judgment against Infowars' Alex Jones
Spectrum News • • general
Key Points:
- A Texas court reduced the $50 million judgment against Alex Jones to $1.5 million for falsely claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax.
- The ruling does not impact a separate $1.4 billion judgment against Jones in Connecticut related to the same case.
- The Texas Third Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Sandy Hook parents did not provide sufficient evidence that harassment caused by Jones' claims exceeded the state's $750,000 damages cap.
- This decision represents a significant legal victory for Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems, despite their liability for damages.
