Dude will fight in court to convince them he has no money.....they will be lucky to get a couple hundred thousand apiece.
Texas has laws limiting settlements like this, so we’ll see how much he ends up paying. Still the jury was like..
Nice!!!!!This is not the Texas case homie, it's Connecticut.
The nearly $1 billion award in the Waterbury trial is on top of a $49 million judgement to the parents of Jessie Lewis who also died in the shooting issued against Jones by a Texas jury in August in a similar trial. A third Sandy Hook defamation awards trial against Jones will take place in Texas in December. In all three cases, families sued Jones on grounds he defamed them repeatedly during his broadcasts. They won their cases last year when two judges issued default rulings because Jones failed to follow court orders and submit evidence and responses on time.

He's not being sued for his opinion. He's being sued for what his opinion incited others to do: Make the families lives a living hell.Dude is a piece of shit but what happened to freedom of speech? Freedom of speech gives you the right to vocalize your opinion. Fuck him but this is dangerous for the future. I've been saying 9/11 is a hoax for 20 years. Now I could be sued for my worth. BS!! This is a silencing act and he's the whipping boy

Everyone knows the freedom of speech example of "yelling fire in a crowded movie theater." If someone says something that's not true and it causes "proven" harm to others than the 1st amendment is out the window. The plaintiffs proved harm. End of story.and thats complete fucking bullshit

It isn’t really about receiving money earned by suing a goofy Texan who said your dead children were actors and they weren’t real and they didn’t die. As a parent, I wouldn’t even want that money because I would be liable to hire a hit man to kill that bastard.the families can't and wont receive money that he aint got............it'll sit on the books for 20 years before it goes away.
he'll be dead by then.
