US EditionSupreme Court rejects Alex Jones’ appeal of $1.4 billion defamation judgment in Sandy Hook shooting
- On Oct. 14, the Supreme Court rejected Alex Jones' appeal and left in place the $1.4 billion judgment against him, issuing the order without comment or seeking responses from families of Sandy Hook victims.
- After the 2012 shooting, Jones claimed it was a `staged event` on his shows, and families of Sandy Hook victims sued in Connecticut state court leading to a rare default ruling by the Connecticut judge.
- A Connecticut jury awarded $965 million in compensatory damages and $471.7 million in other damages to 15 family members and one FBI agent, assessing the verdict against Jones and Free Speech Systems, Infowars' parent company.
- The bankruptcy proceedings converted to a trustee-run Chapter 7 liquidation, and a bankruptcy judge later voided an auction that had named The Onion the winning bidder for Infowars' assets.
- The justices' order leaves Jones without further avenues to appeal, and he faces a nearly $50 million judgment in Texas, which his lawyers called `a financial death penalty`.
