Three Sandy Hook parents won lawsuits over Alex Jones. Eight more families soon hope to do the same.
NEWTOWN - Well before last week’s headlines that Alex Jones lost three defamation cases to Sandy Hook parents in Texas, a Connecticut judge threatened the conspiracy extremist with a similar default judgment in two other lawsuits brought by eight Sandy Hook families.
On Thursday, state Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis announced she will take up the question of sanctions against Jones - including a potential default ruling for the eight families - “based on (Jones’) conduct in this matter to date, including conduct relating to discovery.”
Bellis is referring to the legal process of pretrial evidence exchange known as discovery that got Jones into such trouble in Texas that he lost his cases by default when the judge ruled he had shown “flagrant bad faith and callous disregard for the responsibilities of discovery under the rules.”
On Oct. 20, Bellis will rule on a request by the eight families to default Jones for a series of allegations, including withholding pretrial data, manipulating evidence, and violating an order of protection, which resulted in Jones’ attorneys trying to subpoena Hillary Clinton.
