Alex Jones Verdict: Sandy Hook Families Offer to Settle for $85 Million
Settlement Offer Made After Jones Admitted Liability
Conspiracy Theorist Loses Major Defamation Lawsuit
In a significant development in the ongoing defamation lawsuit against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, the families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting have offered to settle their claims for a minimum of $85 million.
This offer comes after Jones testified in court on Wednesday, acknowledging for the first time that he now believes the Sandy Hook shooting was real and that the families of the victims have suffered "an enormous amount of pain and suffering."
The lawsuit was brought by the families of 10 victims of the shooting, who accused Jones of spreading false and malicious claims that the shooting was a hoax and that the victims were actors. In October 2022, a Texas jury found Jones liable for damages, awarding the families over $1 billion in compensation.
Jones has repeatedly delayed payment of the damages, prompting the families to seek a settlement that would allow them to finalize the case and move on with their lives. The settlement offer, which includes a lump sum payment and a commitment by Jones to stop spreading false claims about Sandy Hook, is expected to be reviewed by the court in the coming weeks.
The potential settlement marks a major victory for the Sandy Hook families, who have endured years of harassment and threats from Jones's followers. It also serves as a warning to other individuals who spread dangerous and harmful misinformation.
