Connecticut judge Barbara Bellos has found Alex Jones liable in a lawsuit brought by the husband of one of the victims killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
The finding followed Judge Bellis’ defaulting of Jones and his companies for “failure to produce critical material information that the plaintiffs needed to prove their claims.” The next step will be a hearing to determine the amount of damages Jones will have to pay.
On Oct. 1, Texas judge Maya Guerra Gamble also found Jones to be in default in three defamation suits brought against him by other Sandy Hook families. The amount of damages Jones and other defendants will have to pay in those cases will be determined in jury trials.
