The InfoWars host lost the case when he wouldn’t provide ordered documents.

Following the school shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Connecticut back in 2012, in which 20 children and 6 adults lost their lives to a shooter, host of right-wing commentary program InfoWars Alex Jones repeatedly insisted that the incident was a “hoax” carried out by crisis actors opposing Second Amendment rights. The parents of the children who were killed filed a lawsuit against Jones on the grounds of defamation, providing ample evidence that their children, in fact, existed. Jones and his company were ordered to turn over documents for the lawsuit, which Jones failed to comply with, effectively losing him the case automatically.

“The Court finds that Defendants’ failure to comply … is greatly aggravated by [their] consistent pattern of discovery abuse throughout similar cases pending before this Court,” wrote Judge Maya Guerra Gamble. “The Court finds that Defendants’ discovery conduct in this case is the result of flagrant bad faith and callous disregard for the responsibilities of discovery under the rules.”

“Mr. Jones was given ample opportunity to take these lawsuits seriously and obey the rule of law. He chose not to do so, and now he will face the consequences for that decision,” Mark Bankston, an attorney for the parents, told CNN.

A jury will be convening in the near future to determine the extent of the damages Jones must pay to the parents.
