Some plaintiffs hugged in the courtroom after the verdict was read. Jones wasn't there, but live video from the court played on a split screen on his Infowars show.
"Hey, folks, don't go buying big homes," he said.
The trial featured tearful testimony from parents and siblings of the victims, who told about how they were threatened and harassed for years by people who believed the lies told on Jones' show.

Indication of how important the judicial system is becoming. Militarizing the judiciary to destroy individuals and companies is a dangerous president. Lawyers will especially become more wealthy and powerful. Makes the elite more powerful, those universities which pour out lawyers, the lawyers and the politicians who make the laws and not producing guidelines. Then if it appears democrats will produce more judges who will use the judiciary this way the judiciary becomes even more politicized.
A billion dollars gtfo LMFAO
They must be the biggest sack chasers on earth…
It’ll be appealed
It’ll reach the same outcome.
@Jeremy Raymond no it won’t. We will have to wait and see though. I don’t care for the guy he is ignorant, but he can say whatever he wants.
Gee, I wonder why only relatives of 5 victims sued, why not all of the victims relatives 🤔🤔🤔
Therefore what?
@Zack Attack you have no moral compass
@John Doe you also have no moral compass
@Jermany 84 i do have one and I also have common sense unlike you
@Jermany 84 no, I’m just not a fool like you. Go obediently agree with corporate media owned by billionaires and pretend to be informed.
LMFAOOO
This just proves that Alex was telling the truth.
i doubt he has that money to pay
Did this happen 10 years ago?
Dude google it. 🤦🏻♂️
In monthly installments of $400😂
How come big corporations never pay such high penalties?
Yeah the highest was like $600 million during the crash in 2008. $1billion is outrageous!
They do pay high penalties… just to the right people
The people commenting about no free speech have no clue how u.s. law works smh. You know you had to take American Gov. to graduate high school, right?
Isn’t there free speech in this country. Even if we don’t like the words
He’s actually telling the truth. When people begin to get censored for their WORDS you know somethings up
that’s ridiculous. Alex Jones doesn’t have that kind of money and he will never be able to pay it. what will this accomplish? nothing.
Alex Jones is a national treasure, these assholes persecuting him ought to be ashamed of themselves.
“How about $2 million?
How about $1 billion lol
Who was fined or punished when the 2008 financial crisis began with cheap credit and lax lending standards that fueled a housing bubble. When the bubble burst, the banks were left holding trillions of dollars of worthless investments in subprime mortgages. The Great Recession that followed cost many their jobs, their savings, and their homes?
Unconstitutional!
