re: SANDY HOOK LIAR Alex Jones Must Pay $965 Mil
Sandy Hook HOAXER Must Pay $45.2 Mill in Punitive Damages PLUS $4.1 Mil in Compensatory Damages.
Alex Jones Ordered to Pay $45.2 Million in Punitive Damages in Sandy Hook Defamation Case
A jury has ordered conspiracy theorist Alex Jones to pay the parents of a victim of the Sandy Hook school shooting $45.2 million in punitive damages. That's in addition to $4.1 million in compensatory damages... 
BBC News 6 AUG 2022.
Jones falsely claimed the massacre was a hoax.
A day after concluding that Infowars founder Alex Jones must pay the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School $4.1 million in compensatory damages for falsely claiming that the massacre was a hoax, a jury in Austin, Texas, on Friday ordered Jones to pay an additional $45.2 million in punitive damages.
In all, the jury ordered Jones to pay $49.3 million in damages — less than the $150 million sought by Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, whose son Jesse was killed in the Dec. 14, 2012, attack in Newtown, Conn.
The punitive phase of the trial featured one witness — forensic economist Bernard Pettingill — who estimated the combined net worth of Jones and his media company Free Speech Systems to be between $135 million and $160 million. Jones claimed in court that he has a negative net worth of $20 million.
Pettingill said he based part of his valuation on Jones's "rabid" fanbase.
