Texas Court Cuts Alex Jones Damages | Greenville News

A Texas appeals court slashes Alex Jones’ punitive damages owed to Sandy Hook parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis from $45 million to $1.5 million—capping each parent’s share at $750,000, finding insufficient proof of harassment to justify the higher amount. He still owes over $4 million in compensatory damages for pain and suffering tied to his false claims about their son’s death. Jones is pushing back, appealing to the state Supreme Court to try to dismiss those remaining damages entirely—and he’s still liable for a staggering $1.25 billion to other Sandy Hook families, pushing him into bankruptcy. He’s also fighting to retain control of his company, Free Speech Systems, which runs Infowars, after a Texas court paused a potential takeover deal with The Onion—a move Jones called illegal. This high-stakes legal battle continues as Jones tries to hold onto his empire while facing massive financial penalties for spreading deadly misinformation.
