Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has been ordered to pay $965m to Sandy Hook victims who suffered from his lies about the massacre.
The verdict is the second big judgment against the Infowars host over his relentless promotion of the lie that the 2012 massacre never happened, and that the grieving families seen in news coverage were actors hired as part of a plot to take away people's guns.
Mark Barden said conspiracy theorists had urinated on the grave of his seven-year-old son, Daniel, and threatened to dig up the coffin. He called the proceedings a "kangaroo court," mocked the judge, called the plaintiffs' lawyer an ambulance-chaser and called the case an affront to free speech rights.
