HARTFORD, Conn. — Relatives of the Sandy Hook shooting victims have won more than $1.5 billion in damages over the yearlong run-up to the 10-year remembrance of the murderous rampage at a Newtown elementary school.
There were defamation verdicts in Connecticut and Texas against the bombastic Infowars broadcaster Alex Jones and a settlement in Connecticut with a major gun manufacturer.
Both Connecticut cases reached the state Supreme Court.
