Texas Court Slashes Alex Jones’s Sandy Hook Damages to $1.5 Million

A Texas appeals court reduced Alex Jones’s $50 million verdict for claiming the Sandy Hook mass shooting was a hoax to $1.5 million, saying the harassment evidence didn’t exceed the state’s $750,000 cap. The Connecticut judgment remains at about $1.4 billion. Jones has sought bankruptcy protection and Infowars may be leased to The Onion’s Global Tetrahedron as part of efforts to fund judgments, while the Supreme Court previously declined to hear the larger award.
