The Associated PressAlex Jones steps outside of the Travis County Courthouse to speak to the media in Austin on Wednesday.
The trial is the first time Jones has been held financially liable for peddling lies about the 2012 attack in Newtown, Conn. Scarlett Lewis, left, and Neil Heslin, parents of a six-year-old Sandy Hook victim, testified against Jones on Tuesday.

Also from cbc: Trudeau says Ottawa 'had a lot of questions' after N.S. mass shooting but didn't interfere in investigation. 'What we're seeing is this tragedy being used to further a political agenda,' says families' lawyer.
For questioning the legitimacy of an event on a conspiracy theory show? Hate him or not this sets a terrible precedent. I don't follow Alex but most of the things I was told were conspiracy's over the past two years turned out to be true. We need to be able to question narratives
Pluck him like a chicken
Holy smokes. Maybe this will determine others
GeraldKutney The amount has a familiar ring to it.
Its a shame that the state has a damages cap and he will likely only have to pay 1.4million dollars of his 270 million fortune.
There are some really evil despicable people out there. Alex Jones is definitely one of them and anybody that supports him financially
Alex Jones is more credible than the CBC
Good luck with the counter suit
Im still confused as to how this lawsuit is possible, I mean I can think of a dozen lies Justin Trudeau and cbc news has told in the last 30 days How does lying making you financially culpable? it’s the new normal for progressive Canada
RIP Infowars
How will any of the parents even receive a dollar? Hasn't Jones already declared bankruptcy? It will be a hollow victory for the parents who have already suffered as much as they have.
Would rather here your BREAKING new providing us updates on the failures of fordnation relating to our provincial gov’ts inability to manage our healthcare system and what they are doing for long term care facilities
Good but still needs to pay more etc
Skip forward a few years to a penniless, toothless Jones sitting in his fold up patio chair reminiscing about how great 2020 was.
I hope this sends a message to all the horrible ppl who just make shit up. We’re so tired of this anti-science, anti-truth bs.
Nasty man. Looks good on him. Sad person
So hopefully Conspiracy theorist CBC will do the same over vaccination punitive damages over their false claims that vaccines work
Needs to be higher, enough to put him out of business for good
What a vile human.
He should be in prison for this and maybe the coup attempt too.
'Speech is free. Lies, you pay for.'
How perfectly awesome is that!
No multiply that by now by 19. I believe there are still 19 victims families. Take every last penny
I hope on appeal they double it.
No enough
It’s so much worse than that description, what he did.
How are they going to squeeze blood out of a rock?
He deserves this. I'm so happy for him. fuckAlexJones
If only we didn’t have a legal system that will hang things up for generations and financial system that will let him hide everything and ride away in a yacht
Seen more of this joker in the news than where's Waldo aka fordnation....😏😡
gofundme
Now we talking!
Now we need the US Trustee’s Office to move to dismiss or convert Info Wars bankruptcy or appoint a Chapter 11 Trustee.
It's nowhere near that. He was literally on air saying it was 4 million and a change plus the it's capped at 1.4 mil due to some state law. But CBC won't tell you that about 'crazy conspiracy' guy
Being the weasel that him and all conservatives are, he won't pay a penny ...wish he'd gone to jail instead
Way too little.
Frankly, not enough. I hope he’s sued repeatedly until he’s in the hole for the rest of his miserable life. And I hope it’s sets a precedent for financial liability to other liars.
Who cares This is news
Conspiracy fabricator is a better term for him
And this is only trial 1. Trial 2, one family sues Jones. Trial 3, eight families sue Jones. So, Alex, got another $400 million ( 9 x 45 ) kicking around? Time to pony up, man.....
What a ridiculous judgment
That’s more like it!
I loved your court coverage of Jizzlaine. The Canadian public love the cbc for their investigative journalism about that trial and the victims of it.
Look! A squirrel!
More like lard ass Jones
What happens if he declares bankruptcy?
Good.
What's the difference between 'Conspiracy theorist' or a legacy media that just flat out lies for its corporate masters?
Peckerwood
Once again the little guy is held responsible while the government and Mega Media, who lie constantly to get us into wars, escapes free of charge AGAIN!
Instead of reporting American news which has zero affect on Cdns, you should report this. 👇
I hope he's bankrupt by the end of all of this. Mans a loser and so are his fans.
Yay
CBC was caught in a considerable amount of hoaxes as well
So glad you nailed that SOB. Hopefully more to follow 😊
Alex Jones articles in the last 48 hours: 12 Dutch Farmers protest articles in the las 2 months: 0 is so see through its like they aren't even there.
bethke Any jail time for this criminal or will that b the January6thCmte or DOJPH
So, if Alex made 200 million with all his lies, paying 45.2 sounds like a bargain... Alex won
Good.
Like this comment if you think Alex Jones should just pay a lot of money for no specific reason.
Unfortunately I believe that is more than allowed by law in that state. But well deserved. No excuse for propagating an absurd and destructive lie
Good. May he lose everything and never know peace.
Define conspiracy theorist because it has kind of lost it’s meaning since it has been over used in the last two years
$45.2 or $42.5? Headline and post are different
When does cbc get sued for claiming and reporting BS? Like saying the Pfizer vaccine is 96% effective after 2 doses?
lol. This is just the first trial. He has another in Texas and a big one in Connecticut.
Still not enough. The original asking price was $150 million. The people suing deserved twice that.
Conservatives in Canada thinks he’s great.
absurd... total political witch hunt... makes mccarthy blush... 'liberals' have lost their way.
cardamomaddict Conspiracy theorist is such an ineffective way to describe the evil.
Alex Jones is controlled opposition, nothing else….funny how you love to focus on US click bait, but won’t cover the invasion at the Southern Border fucktheUN
Finally fake news is held accountable!
They should get at least double that. He's a scumbag
Alex Jones was right about a lot of stuff. You should report on that someday as well.
