Alex Jones Slapped With $965M Judgment In Sandy Hook Case

By Conover Kennard — October 12, 2022

Just in case you're having a bad day, be glad you aren't Alex Jones, who just went from being a very wealthy man to having to fork over a f*ckton of money to Sandy Hook victims' parents after a Connecticut jury reached a verdict. Also, be glad you're not him because he's a thoroughly disgusting creature. The quick-tempered Infowars host is not taking the verdict well. His blood pressure must be booming right now.

Prosecutors had asked that Jones pay $550 million to the group of parents, who claim that the conspiracy theorist grifting InfoWars host spread lies about the mass shooting that killed 26 people, including 20 elementary school children. We know he's rich, but he's not billionaire-rich, and he has to pay nearly 1 billion dollars to the parents he attacked before they could even bury their children.

BIG BREAKING: Alex Jones & Infowars’ parent company must pay 14 family members of 8 Sandy Hook Elementary School victims, plus an FBI agent who responded to the scene of the 2012 massacre, which killed 20 first graders and 6 educators, a collective total of $965 MILLION.

That doesn't include legal fees.

Jones isn't taking the verdict well.

Alex Jones on his show just now, learning he owes over $1 billion in damages to Sandy Hook victims:

"This must be what Hell's like, they just read out the damages. Even though you don't got the money."

Alex Jones is hoping there's a cap on these damages and is now just mocking the verdict. "Why not make it trillions?"

This is not an amount he can fundraise or sell supplements to get out of.

Even Jones gave up trying to add up damages: "We've lost count, it's in the billions."

Alex Jones after his billion dollar damages verdict: "They want to scare us away from question Uvalde or Parkland. We're not going away. We're not going to stop."

He's now selling "vitamineral fusion" from the InfoWars store.

And it's not over:

Don't forget: There's still ANOTHER Alex Jones damages trial coming up.
