A federal bankruptcy judge on Friday returned the Sandy Hook defamation cases to a state court in Austin, setting the stage for trials to determine how much money Austin-based conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay for labeling the 2012 school shooting a hoax.

Jones has been found liable for defamation and causing emotional distress to parents of several Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims when he and others in his InfoWars media system called the mass shooting a hoax intended to justify a government campaign to restrict gun rights.

The first of two Texas trials to determine how much money Jones owes to the parents was to begin last month in Austin.

However, shortly before jury selection was to begin, Jones sought bankruptcy protection for InfoWars, now known as InfoW LLC, and two related companies. That Chapter 11 petition was filed in Victoria and assigned to a judge in Houston.

8. This AM

On Stephanie Miller, a rant of his was played about shrinking penis’s from fathers to sons, 1 foot to 6 inches to 3 and then gone, from vaxes or some lib crap, and soon men will not have a penis. And Sperm counts are going to zero. Worse than his gay frogs crap. He is out to lunch. It sounded like he was on the 3” receiving end of shrinkage.

4. I listened to the hearing on Thursday

Jones and his attorneys caved.

5. I wonder how the few extra weeks of delays benefit Jones?

Jones obviously knew that any such action would be contested by the plaintiffs in the civil lawsuits. The only thing that I walk away with as an observer is that Jones is a vindictive POS--that isn't going to weigh in his favor as the jurors determine the damages.

6. This stunt probably cost Jones at least $100,000

The number of bankruptcy attorneys in this case for Jones was amusing

10. Pretty sure he's managed to hide most of his assets by now.

11. It's comforting

to know the families have received 70+ million dollars from the gun manufacturers insurance company, that they bankrupted. It's money in hand and will be used to bring down Jones, as others have already been taken out by the Sandy Hook parents. He cannot hide his assets and they will all be taken as proceeds of a crime and to settle the massive judgment against him. Jones will die destitute on welfare and food stamps. A very fitting ending when it happens.
