Texas Cuts Jones’ Punitive Damages | Fayetteville Arkansas News

A Texas appeals court slashed Alex Jones’ $50 million Sandy Hook defamation judgment by slashing punitive damages from $45 million to just $1.5 million, while upholding $4.1 million in compensatory damages for emotional distress. The ruling doesn’t affect his separate $1.25 billion Connecticut award, which remains intact — though families still haven’t collected a dime as Jones’ company is in bankruptcy. Jones calls the Texas decision a First Amendment win and plans to appeal again, despite losing his previous Supreme Court bid on the Connecticut case. Meanwhile, bankruptcy proceedings continue, with even The Onion briefly winning an auction for Jones’ assets before it was overturned — all while Jones keeps broadcasting defiantly on new platforms.
