A Texas jury punished conspiracy-peddler Alex Jones with a $45.2 million judgment Friday — just a day after awarding a family he defamed $4.1 million in damages.
The InfoWars host claimed after the 2012 mass-shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School that the massacre was a hoax designed to drum up support for gun control advocates.
Jones, who was deemed culpable by reason of default after refusing to provide court-ordered records, admitted in testimony earlier this week that the killing of 20 children and six educators at the Newtown, Conn., school was in fact “100%” real.
