  1. Heslin & Lewis’s 6-year-old son Jesse Lewis was among 20 children & 6 educators killed in the 2012 attack in Newtown, Connecticut.

  2. The unanimous opinion of by the Texas Third Court of Appeals found that #SandyHook parents Neil Heslin & Scarlett Lewis did not show evidence that #harassment enflamed by #AlexJones’ hoax claims rose to a level that would allow them to exceed the state’s $750,000 cap on damages.

  3. Horrible

    A #Texas court has slashed the $50 million judgment to $1.5 million against Infowars founder #AlexJones over falsely calling 2012 #SandyHook #SchoolShooting a hoax.

    The ruling does not affect a $1.4 billion judgement against Jones in Connecticut, but is a significant legal victory for Jones after he & his company, Free Speech Systems, were found liable for damages for claiming the #MassShooting didn’t happen.

    "... Tenhle hemoroid na těle civilizace se teď rozhodl Elon Musk vrátit na twitter. Na základě místní ankety. A když už v podpoře magorů a zločinců Musk byl, tak si do rozhovoru s Jonesem, který živě vysílal včera na téhle platformě, pozval taky třeba krajně pravicového influencera Andrewa Tatea, který v Rumunsku čelí trestnímu stíhání kvůli obvinění z obchodování s lidmi a znásilnění."

  6. @Teri_Kanefield forwarded onto a bunch of #policyWonk fans of the #KnowledgeFight podcast who have got really into stuff relating to defamation cases (especially repeated defamations for the purposes of driving up traffic).

    At the moment we are picking through bits released in #AlexJones and #FreeSpeechSystems (aka #InfoWars ) bankruptcy proceedings.

    Thanks for the nice explainers on this case.

    Via Cathy Russon:

    Judge Maya Guerra Gamble upholds the jury's punitive damages award in Texas going over the cap.

    The award in the #AlexJones Texas trial will be for the FULL amount the jury awarded - $45.2 million in punitive damages, $4.1 million in compensatory. mastodon.social/@GottaLaff/109

  8. @stux the Knowledge Fight podcast later today will be glorious

    For those who haven't heard of it, it is a long form podcast that has been dissecting Alex Jones and InfoWars for years (about 750 episodes thus far).
    The hosts have even been (unpaid) consultants for the plaintiffs in Texas.

    They have a mini-series titled #FormulaicObjections that unpicks depositions from the cases and has interviewed plaintiffs lawyers.
