View source for Pozner Texas Sandy Hook Lawsuit (Pozner v. Jones)

A lawsuit by parents of the victims of the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Hook_Elementary_School_shooting 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School Shooting]. It alleges that false statements Jones made claiming that the shooting was fake or staged were defamatory towards the victims and their family members.

In October of 2021, and after years of sanctionable conduct by the Jones Defendants, [[Judge Maya Gamble]] issued a default judgement, meaning that Jones and his companies are presumed to have committed the alleged conduct and will have to pay damages. The trial to determine the amount of damages is scheduled to start soon (as of July 2022).

There is two very similar cases, [[Texas Sandy Hook Lawsuit (Heslin v. Jones)|Heslin v. Jones in Texas]] and [[Connecticut Sandy Hook Lawsuit (Lafferty v. Jones)|Lafferty v. Jones in Connecticut]]. All have different family members as plaintiffs.
