Alex Jones ordered to pay legal fees in Texas case
"A Texas judge has ordered Alex Jones and his companies to pay $1 million in legal fees to the parents of two slain Sandy Hook children and a Norwalk native falsely accused of being the shooter in a Florida high school massacre," CT Insider's Rob Ryser reported Tuesday. As Ryser noted, the order, which gives Jones 30 days to pay the fees, "comes one day after three Jones-controlled businesses filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection." As a result, the judge in the case "has scheduled a conference on Wednesday to discuss whether the first trial to award defamation damages will begin as scheduled on April 25," Ryser wrote.
>> Mark Bankston, the attorney representing the Sandy Hook families in this case, told me via email, "We’re pleased that Mr. Jones' unlawful sabotage of these lawsuits has been met with a decisive response..."
