No.
Not in this trial, at least.
He’s, so far, to pay $4,000,000 though.
This is civil suit, so no.
He. Dry well might if they try and convict him of perjury. He also has other civil trials to deal with (as I understand it) so he will be locked in to the court system for quite a while.
NO. He has filed bankruptcy, so I bet he even gets out of paying a dime!!! I’m just enjoying watching him grovel. He was so loud & cocky about the hoax, it’s kind of titillating to watch him squirm!!! I’m hoping that the parents of the murdered kids find his about face some relief to their grief!!! I don’t think it was ever about the money for them…they just wanted him to SHUT UP!!!
@Nomore_Tantrums I hope you are right; but, people like him NEVER seem to get punished!!!
He has to pay $4M, his bankruptcy won’t stop this. It’s not a catastrophic amount for him so he’ll be right back on the air touting his insidious, unspeakable bullshit.
If he really believed the insanity he promotes a mental hospital might be more appropriate but it is pretty clear it is all an act of self-promotion with no concern for people’s feelings or the damage he causes. As the lawyer representing the parents said; “speech is free but lies have to be paid for.”
The current trial is a civil case, not a criminal case.
Civil:
They can take your stuff – money & property
Criminal:
You can lose your freedom or even your life. You can be jailed, imprisoned, or executed.
Why there have been criminal prosecutions of Alex Jones I do not know.
@Call_Me_Jay Because of what came up in this civil trial, there is discussion of a criminal perjury trial, I heard.
What ever else happens, I’m sure he’s washed up and out of business.
There are some tax evasion implications I picked up during this trial. I hope they investigate him on this. He actually has to pay like 45 million on the second verdict. I did not know that was a thing until today.
@rebbel It was just announced on CNN that the jury has added punitive damages of $45.2 mil on top of the $4.2 mill from yesterday. So, he’s just under $50 mil to pay to the family of the one little boy that he liked to bully!!!
I still do not understand how leading the harassment of the parents of murdered children is not a crime.
@Call_Me_Jay It is not a crime to be a narcissistic, tasteless, fucking asshole. But… You can beat them over the head in civil court.
CNN just announced that the 8 Sandy Hook families have been awarded $1 Billion due to Alex Jones lies!!
Yup, just saw the news. He’s all washed up. Bah bye Info Wars!
That should do it. About time, he has been getting away with unspeakable, society damaging bullshit for far too long.
