Alex Jones no longer on-the-hook for $50 million owed to Sandy Hook families—but he still has $1.25 billion looming over his head
The Infowars' founder can only be forced to pay about $6 million from the Texas court, but still has a separate judgement in Connecticut up to $1.25 billion.
AI Summary
A Texas appellate court reduced the judgment against Alex Jones from $50 million to roughly $6 million, ruling that state law caps damages in the case. The original judgment stemmed from Jones’s false claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax, which had been ordered to be paid to the victims’ families.
