Supreme Court Denies Alex Jones' Appeal
The Supreme Court rejected an appeal from conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, upholding the $1.4 billion judgment against him.
Alex Jones had described the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as a hoax staged by crisis actors.
- The shooting resulted in the deaths of 20 first graders and six educators in Newtown, Connecticut.
- Jones argued that a judge was wrong to find him liable for defamation and infliction of emotional distress without a trial.
The Infowars host's appeal was rejected without comment from the justices.
The order was issued without requiring a response from the families of the Sandy Hook victims.
