Families suing Alex Jones -- the conspiracy theorist who hosts the right-wing commentary website Infowars -- rejected his offer to settle a defamation lawsuit filed in response to his claims that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.
Attorneys for Jones offered $120,000 each to 13 plaintiffs who sued him over his false claims about the December 2012 shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, that left 26 dead, including 20 children."Mr. Jones extends his heartfelt apology for any distress his remarks caused," each offer of compromise states.
Jones eventually acknowledged the shooting was real during a 2019 sworn deposition he participated in as part of a defamation case.Before Jones' settlement offers were rejected, Connecticut Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis ordered him to sit for a deposition last week, but Jones failed to appear. Jones was"following his doctor's advice," Kevin Smith, another Jones attorney, told CNN.
