However, the theory promoted Alex Jones He had several of his followers threaten and harass the victims’ parents, including little Jesse’s parents, whom they accused of lying about their son’s death for political purposes.

The $4.1 million the jury awarded to the victims is far short of the $150 million they originally asked for, though a second trial remains to be held to determine whether Jones should also pay punitive damages, i.e. for particularly offensive behavior.
