The Supreme Court has thrown out a last-ditch appeal by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, locking in a $1.4 billion judgment over his Sandy Hook hoax lies.
Jones had asked the justices to undo a Connecticut case that ended in a rare default ruling after he blew discovery deadlines and court orders. A jury hit him with $964 million—followed by $473 million in punitive damages—over years of smears that the 2012 massacre of 20 first-graders and six educators was staged by “crisis actors.”
The Court on Tuesday declined to comment and did not even request a response from the Sandy Hook families, leaving intact a judgment among the largest in U.S. libel history
