Families who sued him in Texas favored Friday’s decision, which will keep Mr. Jones on the air but allow them to potentially receive more in damages. The families who sued Mr. Jones in Connecticut favored settling for less money and shutting Mr. Jones down, although they acknowledged it would perhaps not silence him entirely.
