Alex Jones and his conspiracy website InfoWars must pay $100,000 in legal fees in a defamation case brought by the father of a boy killed in the Sandy Hook shooting massacre, a Texas judge ordered recently.
it brought Jones’ total court-ordered penalties in the case to $126,023
Make him pay it back working off the salary of a JPMorgan teller.
Uh Oh Mr. Jones, might have to increase to price on some of those ‘supplements’ you sell those brain-addled fools you call listeners.
Jones has one of those crack cocaine voices, rattly in there somewhere.
Maybe developed while trying to incite a riot at the millennium - anybody remember that one?
Never found a theater he didn’t want to shout Fire! in.
Make 'em pay civilly, if not criminally.
Is this an intermediate legal fee pmt to support the case against him as it continues, or is this the end of this particular case?
It’s a start.
These are sanctions for gross misconduct during the case. They are independent of any judgment that may ultimately be levied.
It’s not enough!
I hope that fat f_ck explodes.
And unless it’s reduced to a judgment and severed from the remainder of the case, it probably isn’t collectable until the whole case is over. And ultimately, Jones and InfoWars are going to end up filing for bankruptcy. Still, every little bit of debt helps!
Activist judge hell bent on silencing Conservatives!!!
The judge might be amenable to a separate judgment.
They will have to place him in the drive-in teller, otherwise he will be spitting on the customers.
Most trial court judges don’t like to sever discrete parts of a lawsuit because it exposes them to appeals that would otherwise have to wait until after trial. Just guessing, but the judge in this case likely sees the hefty sanction award as a pressure point to encourage the defendants to settle the case.
Get every last penny you can from that liar.
Jones deserves to wing up pushing a shopping cart on skid row!
Missing my a couple of zeros there, in that judgement, considering what a zero Asshat Jones is.
Start of a Happy New Year?
That’s all? Years of pain and even threats from jones’ looney followers? Damn
it brought Jones’ total court-ordered penalties in the case to $126,023.
Inadequate in my opinion. For the evil he stated, he should be sued into oblivion, perhaps living in a debtor’s prison.
