That presumably includes over a dozen people who lost children at the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Connecticut, which Jones claimed for years had been faked — leading to a series of defamation suits that Jones lost by default.Earlier this year, a Texas court ordered Jones to pay $45 million to two parents of a child killed at Sandy Hook, and a Connecticut court ordered him to pay 15 more plaintiffs around $964 million in damages, followed by an additional $473 million in punitive damages.Late last month, Jones lost a bid to reduce the Texas damages under a law capping defamation fines, leaving him on the hook for the full amount.They likely also result partly from Jones’ erratic, uncooperative, and unrepentant behavior during both the Texas and Connecticut trials.While Jones admitted during the trial that he now believes the Sandy Hook shooting happened, he claimed in testimony to be “done saying I’m sorry” and held an unapproved impromptu press conference on the courthouse steps."
