HARTFORD, Conn. — A Connecticut judge on Thursday denied Infowars host Alex Jones’ motion seeking a new trial and the overturning of a jury verdict requiring him to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to families of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre.
The ruling found the motion was not supported “by any evidence or case law.”
Chris Mattei, an attorney for the Sandy Hook families, said in a statement that the court “has now affirmed the jury’s historic and just rebuke of Alex Jones.”
Jones attorney Norm Pattis called it “an expected and disappointing decision” and said they would be heading to the appellate courts.
