It is well known that he asserted that the family of the children who had been murdered at the Sandy Hook school in Connecticut were actors.
When the verdict was read out, members of the victims' families who were present in the courtroom shed tears. On Wednesday, October 12, the far-right American conspirator Alex Jones was condemned to pay roughly a billion dollars in compensation to the relatives of victims of a massacre that was carried out in a school in 2012, the existence of which he had denied.
Twenty children and six adults were slain in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut in 2012 by a young man armed with a semi-automatic weapon. Notable allegations made by Alex Jones included the one that the students' families were actors. A jury in that state came to the conclusion that he was responsible for compensating them, together with an FBI agent, to the tune of 965 million dollars (995 million euros), both for defamation and moral damage.
Families being tormented by fans of various conspiracies
These families had filed lawsuits against Alex Jones, saying that they were tormented by followers of the conspiracy who were adamant in their belief that the massacre had never taken place and that the mourning relatives played a role in the event.
Alex Jones, who was watching the hearing live on his website Infowars, stated that he planned to appeal the verdict, despite the fact that he did not even have "two million in cash" to his name.
