Appeals Court Reduces Alex Jones's Defamation Damages in Sandy Hook Case
The Texas court's decision does not alter a separate Connecticut judgment requiring Alex Jones to pay $1.25 billion.
Alex Jones and his company filed for bankruptcy, and Jones relinquished the Infowars brand in April.
The Texas Third Court of Appeals unanimously reduced a $50 million judgment against Alex Jones to $1.5 million.
“The families care not at all about this irrelevant ruling which affects only two of the 19 claims they all share. Jones still faces over a billion dollars of liability, so this changes absolutely nothing. All it does is highlight the absurdity of Texas law,”
