Alex Jones' Sandy Hook punitive damages likely to be slashed
Summary by Ground News
Jones was found last year to have defamed parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis died in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012. A jury handed down the punitive damages verdict on Friday and awarded the parents $4.1-million in compensatory damages on Thursday. Texas law caps punitive damages at $750,000 when economic losses are not involved, as in this case.
