@abc7la: A Texas court on Friday slashed a $50 million judgment to $1.5 million against Infowars founder Alex Jones over falsely calling 2012 school shooting a hoax. The ruling does not affect a $1.4 billion judgement against Jones in Connecticut, but is a significant legal victory for Jones after he and his company, Free Speech Systems, were found liable for damages for claiming the mass shooting didn’t happen.

CT will ensure Alex Jones dies penniless. He can't hide all his money in accounts during probate

In Texas, a jury found in favor of plaintiffs against jones and awarded those plaintiffs $50 million. Judge said, no that’s too much, and reduced the award to $1.5 million. And the right complains about “activist judges”.

It’s important to understand that Texas has a statutory cap on Punitive damages, which’s is 750,000 per person, so 1.5 would be the correct amount. The only reason the 45.2 was allowed was because the trial judge allowed the application of an exception that the appeals court did not agree with as the factual basis wasn’t found by the jury nor put on record during trial. All procedural.
