Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones cannot use his personal bankruptcy to escape paying at least $1.1 billion in defamation damages stemming from his repeated lies about the 2012 Sandy Hook elementary school massacre, a U.S. bankruptcy judge ruled Thursday.
Nobody’s being made whole from this judgement I suppose. This isn’t the kind of thing where a physical object can be replaced.
What’s your suggestion for how the court should have doled out justice?
Give out the state maximum punishment of $1k for punitive damages in connecticut… i think worst case is the $300k punitive damages for state of Texas or 1% of net worth if class action.
I actually am not super familiar with the case but I dont think anyone on earth has a liquid $1B unless you are saudi royalty…
But there were (4?) cases right? Each of the families got between 300M and 500M? Hes not the one that killed the babies, what kind of precedence are they trying to make?
And yet you’re happy to lecture us on the appropriateness of the outcome. Interesting.
Do i need to know every detail of the case in order to make judgement? Ok sure
You should probably know what the case was about at least. Nobody said AJ killed anyone.
