A jury ruled on Thursday that right-wing talk show host Alex Jones must pay the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim just over $4 million dollars in compensatory damages, capping a stunning and dramatic case that demonstrated to the public the actual harm caused by popular conspiracy theories.
Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, the plaintiffs, asked for a much lower award than what the jury ultimately decided. Lewis and Heslin’s attorneys asked the jury at the beginning of the trial to grant their clients $150 million dollars in compensatory damages.
Punitive damages will be covered during a different, quicker trial, which is now anticipated. When the court deems the defendant’s actions to be particularly offensive, punitive damages are given.
The plaintiffs are pleased with the jury’s verdict, according to Mark Bankston, an attorney for the parents, who also noted that they had already received money because of the sanctions the court had imposed on Jones.
Yearly the 48-year-old American in question is said to earn a million dollars on average.
