The damages awarded to each of the 15 plaintiffs ranged from $36 million to $120 million. I wouldn't wish being $1 billion in debt on anyone but this guy!
However cavalier Jones’ response to news that he owes nearly $1 billion in damages might be, NBC News’ Ben Collinsthat the massive number very well “might be a death knell for InfoWars.” $1 billion is, after all, a pretty big number!
As of Wednesday afternoon, according to CNN, it’s still unclear when, exactly, Sandy Hook families will receive the $1 billion. Jones’s attorney Norm Pattis criticized the verdict, vowing to appeal it. “We disagree with the basis of the default, we disagree with the court’s evidentiary rulings. In more than 200 trials in the course of my career I have never seen a trial like this,” Pattis said. He
the verdict a “dark day for freedom of speech,” and claimed that the families have been “used for political purposes.”“My heart goes out to the families, we live in divided times,” Pattis said. “They’ve been weaponized and used for political purposes in this country, in my view, and today is a very, very, very dark day for freedom of speech.”
I wouldn’t wish being $1 billion in debt on anyone, probably, except for Jones.
