Quick Glance: Alex Jones Sandy Hook damages could follow him the rest of his life
  • "Do these people actually think they're getting any of this money?

  • " Jones stated.

  • Lawyers told Insider that the damages were astounding for a slander case, with Barhoma calling the payout a "jaw-dropping" number.

  • "Compensatory damages are looking to make a plaintiff whole," Barhoma said, adding that while Jones will almost certainly appeal the verdict, an appellate court will be less inclined to interfere with compensatory damages awarded by a jury.

  • Furthermore, unlike punitive penalties, compensatory damages are not capped in Connecticut, according to some lawyers.
