NBC News reported:
Jones faced liability for defamation, intentional infliction of emotional distress and violations of the state Unfair Trade Practices Act, for creating a fake narrative that the mass shooting was a hoax. The families claimed Jones profited off the lies while they were harassed and abused by those who believed him.
The jury made 15 individual awards that ranged from $28.8 million to $120 million. The families and agent also received separate punitive damages.
Several family members of the victims wept as they heard the jury’s decision in the courtroom. Jones, who was not in court, appeared on his online show as the jury’s decision was read, laughing and mocking the amounts being awarded.
“Ain’t going to be happening. Ain’t no money,” Jones said on his show Wednesday.

Jones’ lawyer has vowed to appeal the decision.
Just a $1,000,000,000 award in damages against Alex Jones after a Kafka-esque show trial. If this doesn’t get overturned on appeal, there is no hope left for the so-called “justice” system.

Alex Jones killed no one. He apologized for his erroneous reports, of which there weren’t many. Nevertheless in a trial where he wasn’t allowed to defend himself on free speech grounds, he’s now being ordered to pay hundreds-of-millions of dollars. Stalin’s ghost has returned.

A jury has ordered Jones to pay nearly $1 billion in damages for what he said in his Sandy Hook reports.
So, will the mainstream media ever be forced to pay for their COVID reporting that killed tens of thousands?
Will Big Tech, government agencies, and Big Pharma ever be forced to pay for their egregious lies about the experimental COVID-19 shot that caused millions of injuries and deaths?

All I am saying is if Alex Jones has to pay $965,000,000 …what do all the other news organizations and liars have to pay after what they’ve done over the past 2 1/2 years? I’m asking for everyone, literally we want to know. #accountability #WeThePeopleAreTheNews #news #breaking

Infowars noted:
A Connecticut jury on Wednesday ruled radio host Alex Jones will have to pay close to $1 billion to Sandy Hook families for speculating the school shooting could have been staged.
After deliberating for over two days, the six-person jury reached their decision on compensatory damages Jones should pay on Wednesday, despite the radio host in many instances never mentioning the names of many of the plaintiffs who sued him.
In the second highest payout amount to the plaintiffs, the jury awarded FBI agent William Aldenberg – who Jones never mentioned by name – $90 million in compensatory damages, despite the fact he had no connection to any children or staff who died in the mass shooting.
Jones reacted to the unprecedented verdict on The Alex Jones Show moments after it was delivered.
“They want to scare everybody away from freedom, and scare us away from questioning Uvalde and what really happened there, or Parkland or any other event. And guess what? We’re not scared, and we’re not going away, and we’re not going to stop,” Jones said.
“For hundreds of thousands of dollars, I can keep them in court for years, I can appeal this stuff, we can stand up against this travesty, against the billions of dollars they want. It’s a joke.”
“This corrupt, dying political system wants to try to make me the devil. I’m not the devil, and God is my judge, not you, you globalist scumbags,” he continued.
“This is how desperate the establishment is. I am so honored to have this happening. So we’re waiting while the judge sent the jury back out because they didn’t put decimals on how many millions I’m suppose to give, and that’s why it’s such a joke. I don’t have 2 million dollars in cash.”
