A federal bankruptcy judge on Monday cleared the way for a defamation lawsuit in Connecticut to proceed against Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
that the nation’s deadliest school shooting — which killed 20 students and six educators — was a hoax.
However, Monday’s ruling by Judge Julie Manning essentially allows the plaintiffs to continue the defamation lawsuit against just Jones as an individual, without Free Speech Systems, a company owned by Jones and a defendant in the Connecticut case.“The plaintiffs’ rights to have that process continue in the Connecticut Superior Court should not be disturbed,” Manning wrote in the decision, adding that the plaintiffs’ claims for damages were ready for trial.
a trial for damages is pending in Texas that was filed by the parents of another child killed at Sandy Hook. The Connecticut jury will decide what, if any, damages Jones owes in that case, although state law could also limit what he would have to pay.
