JUST IN: Alex Jones Found Guilty in All Four Sandy Hook Defamation Cases

From your link- and here’s the fun part:
“Juries in both Texas and Connecticut will now decide how much Jones owes the families in damages, in addition to court costs.”

May his losses be enormous. Moo

Yes, and if the Lanzas had had more, they may have been able to arrange a private, secure location for their now-adult son. Or hire a lawyer able to establish guardianship.

Our courts need to responsibly acknowledge mental health problems:

St. Louis County police officer killed in South County; teen faces murder charge

This shooter suffered a traumatic brain injury in a car accident at age 14. He was in & out of mental health facilities for several years. His Dad filed for guardianship, which was denied.

Forster turned 18, checked himself out of Lindberg High School, stopped taking prescriptions & keeping appointments, and killed Blake Snyder.

Forster is still in prison:

Court rejects appeal from man who killed St. Louis County officer Blake Snyder

If his Dad had been named guardian, we probably would never have heard of Trenton Forster or Blake Snyder.

If either of the Lanzas had been named Adam's guardian -- we probably would never have heard of Sandy Hook, Connecticut or of Lanza.

I'm for protecting individual rights, certainly.

There must be a balance, however, with public safety.

Seems rather off-balance here, IMHO.

jmho ymmv lrr

The Lanzas had money.

Agree completely.

Is anyone filing suit against the mental health system that let the Lanza family -- and the residents of Sandy Hook -- down???

Hhhhmmm, no perceived deep pocket, so no lawsuit?

jmho ymmv lrr

But what if we simply don't have the treatment for these type of disorders? Just like there is no known lasting treatment for personality disorders at this time? I don't understand how mental health services could be successfully sued for not doing the 'correct intervention' when we don't know as of yet, what actually treats some of these diagnoses.

InfoWars files for bankruptcy in the face of lawsuits over Sandy Hook shooting denial

The media outlet InfoWars filed for bankruptcy in Texas on Sunday in the face of mounting legal pressure over comments made by founder and host, conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.

Jones, who's repeatedly called the 2012 shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut a hoax, has been sued several times by the victims' family members and others for defamation and emotional distress. Twenty children and six educators were killed in the attack.

Moment Alex Jones admits that the Sandy Hook Massacre did happen

The InfoWars host was horrified that his team sent a digital copy of ever text and email about Sandy Hook, despite declaring under oath that they didn't exist at his $150million defamation trial.

Isn't that just compensatory damages? The punitive damages are decided today, right? Meanwhile, he went on his channel begging for money, claiming he's "bankrupt".

The conspiracy theorist must pay the damages to parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the 2012 school massacre, on top of $4.1 million in compensatory damages, for falsely claiming the shooting was a hoax.

Jones says he's done saying he's sorry. He thought it was staged, he says, and "I stand by that." They're all yelling at each other. This is... completely unreal.

Alex Jones Managed to Shill Products and Ask For Crypto Donations While Testifying in Court

Jones mumbled, digressed, yelled, and shilled his way through a heated, shambolic day of testimony.

Watching that (the channel I was watching broke into the courtroom) was so hard, those poor parents were so emotional, rightly so. I hope the healing can begin.

Is it even possible to pay such a sum?

Or is the verdict symbolic?

Is he going to be imprisoned if he doesn't pay?

I'm really curious.
