#SANDY HOOK ALSO IPICTURE PEOPLE ALSO IN WORLD TRADE TRIAL#
The trial was shocking at times, including when Mr Bankston told Jones earlier in the week that his defence team had accidentally sent the plaintiffs’ lawyers a record of previously requested text messages. Jones and InfoWars’ parent company, Free Speech Systems LLC, were co-defendants in the case. Of course it is preferable that such attacks are hoaxes rather than real, however the motivation for doing so is to strip people of their rights, such as to confiscate guns from law abiding citizens. “We do not believe punitive damage caps are constitutional as applied to our case and will certainly litigate that issue if necessary,” Mark Bankston, one of the plaintiffs’ lawyers, told Bloomberg Law. I present two documentaries: Unraveling Sandy Hook in 2, 3, 4, and 5 Dimensions, and We Need to Talk About Sandy Hook. The very purpose of punitive damages is frustrated when there is a cap, she said.

The Texas law “protects companies and bad actors like Alex Jones, so that they’re never going to be punished to the full extent that would be needed to truly deter them from future actions and to teach other people that this is bad behaviour”, Carrie Goldberg of the C.A. Judge Maya Guerra Gamble of the 459th District Court in Travis County might reduce the punitive damages given those caps, and Jones’ lawyers said immediately after the verdict that they would file a motion to reduce the punitive award. “And so, on that front, this trial is uniquely interesting because it really is a political barometer of how much misinformation the public is willing to accept.”įriday’s unanimous ruling closes the two-week trial in Travis County, Texas. “Punitive damages are typically more of a bellwether or a barometer of where we are culturally they are more iconic messages sending verdicts from the public to the defendant directly,” Jamie Abrams, law professor at American University, told Bloomberg Law. Their six-year-old, Jesse Lewis, was killed in the shooting.Īlex Jones has conceded under oath that the massacre was “100 per cent real”. The combined award, which will probably be reduced, is well below the $US150 million that parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis sought for the InfoWars host’s assertions that the 2012 massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, was fabricated. A Texas jury on Friday (Saturday AEST) ordered Alex Jones to pay $US45.2 million ($65 million) in punitive damages to the parents of a Sandy Hook victim, a day after he was ordered to pay $US4.1 million in actual damages for claiming the school shooting was a hoax.
