CNN reports:
Plaintiffs in the trial included family members of eight school students and employees, in addition to one FBI agent who responded to the scene. Notably, Jones is not present in the courtroom today.
Three cases were all condensed into the single trial. While the families did not seek a specific dollar figure in the trial, an attorney for the families asked jurors last month to “send a message” to the public with its decision.
The trial in Connecticut took place a month after a separate jury in Texas determined that Jones and his company should award two Sandy Hook parents who sued in that state nearly $50 million.
And here’s the result. There’s even more to the list below.

Jury produces their verdict in the Alex Jones trial in CT: Guilty
Awards more $965,000,000 in damages combined, if my math is right + attorneys fees
Add that to the $50mil verdict against him in TX (amount still up for argument there)

The AP puts the Sandy Hook verdict at $965 million. The plaintiffs have accused InfoWars of hiding its assets to avoid a massive judgment just like this. https://t.co/fkZt1DCwgq
