Alex Jones, et al.&nbsp;<\/em>\u2013 was the first of its kind against Mr. Jones and his company InfoWars. Though the families brought the case in 2018, Mr. Jones repeatedly delayed the proceedings and refused to comply with the rules of the court, which later awarded more than $1 million in sanctions against him.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The verdict marked the first time Mr. Jones was held financially liable for his false statements about the shooting.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTruth matters \u2014 Alex Jones\u2019 lies gave rise to violence against parents who had already lost so much,\u201d Mr. Farrar said. \u201cTo be able to bring justice to these parents while holding Mr. Jones\u2019 lies to the light is why I do this.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Public Justice is a non-profit legal advocacy organization specializing in civil rights and environmental cases.
