Alex Jones has been NAILED for perpetuating a lie about the Sandy Hook massacre, and some of the families of the children who were murdered have just gotten word from the jury … that Jones must ante up nearly $1 billion.
The Connecticut jury just hit Jones between the eyes … finding the emotional distress and trauma he caused by his campaign was so enormous … justice required an enormous damage award.
The total verdict — divided among the 8 families and 1 first responder — adds up to $965M.
The families’ lawyer, Chris Mattei, told jurors in last week’s closing arguments that Jones lies to generate revenue for his site, while the parents in mourning received death threats and harassment from his fans.

Jones was on the air on his radio show when the verdict was read … telling his listeners, “This must be what hell is like — they just read out the damages, even though you don’t got the money.” Jones also said the case was a joke and asked his listeners for donations.
The legal battle started way back in 2018, when the families went after Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems.
As you know, Jones was already ordered to pay another $49.3M in a similar trial that took place in Texas back in August … with money also going to some of the parents affected by the shooting.
