The jury must still decide how much Jones must pay in punitive damages to parents of a boy who was killed in the 2012 mass shooting.
RELATED: Jury orders Alex Jones to pay more than $4M
A Texas jury on Thursday ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay more than $4 million in compensatory damages to the parents of a 6-year-old boy who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre, marking the first time the Infowars host has been held financially liable for repeatedly claiming the deadliest school shooting in U.S. history was a hoax.
The Austin jury must still decide how much the Infowars host must pay in punitive damages to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose son Jesse Lewis was among the 20 children and six educators who were killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut.

Squeal, boy. Squeal.
Nothing here but theater.
That’s not enough. That money can’t buy off the pain!! 😡😡😡😡
Are you joking ? Some guy talking about an event didn’t cause anyone pain . You’re a clown . The supposed shooter is only to blame
@Bill Harford he didn’t just talk about it, he up and said these parents whose kids were just murdered were crisis actors, and that they’re a bunch of liars. These people were harassed by Alex’s fanbase because he dropped their information.
@Reptiles are cool Your example of not talking about something was literally him saying something . Furthermore if you can show me one photo or video of Adam Lanza there that day I’ll shut up .
@Bill Harford just had a stroke trying to read what you just wrote can you rewrite that in a different way?
You are correct David
Was that a wallaby or a kangaroo I just saw?
I love the lack of any expression from the judge. Like she’s the item checker as you are leaving Costco. Yup… looks correct to me…
that sing song voice of her’s exudes self entitlement.
@stiimuli all the other dpshts are, why not
@CubaPete101 No everyone was just watching Jones get handed a $4 million judgement for his bullshit.
Imagine if politicians were held this accountable
Alex won he bigger than ever now.
Fox News as well.
@My Wife’s Boyfriend Why only the Democrats? The republicans too.
That’s the cost of doing business.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 good for you Mr. Jones 🤣🤣🤣
Offer him a deal for a reality tv special where he and Amber Heard spend a month in a house together.
*”I’d Buy That For A Dollar!”* How about “Running Man” 😉
There is a difference, he really wasn’t bullshitting. You think that kid that went on a rampage in CO, just did it off the cuff?
No man deserves such harsh punishment! Have a heart, sir!
I would love to watch that.
LOL @ the “but mah first amendment” folks who clearly don’t remember anything from high school government class.
U clearly are the one who didn’t pay attention bro. Lol. Go to Canada
@James Devens way to say something without saying anything. It’s too cold up there, eh.
Speculation is not slander, even if you offend someone. This is a political show trial by the ruling class to crush their political enemies.
“Damages” wow USA Today 🤣
What happened to freedom of speech?
Freedom of Speech does not involve denying and hurting parents of very young slain students at school does it? The Sandy Hook changed teachers, parents and students lives in my state of Connecticut.
Nothing
Also some of those parents were acting weird as shot
Parents with acting credits
Destroying the crime scene
Unfortunately when you follow Maritime law, non of the entities that are owned by the “Corporation” have any rights.
He is thinking “Wow, they totally let me off!”
He just got hit with an additional $45.2M in punitive damages.
