The US Supreme Court has rejected an appeal from Alex Jones regarding the $1.4 billion judgment in his Sandy Hook defamation trial.
According to The New York Times, the court rejected the appeal without giving any explanation for its decision.
The court "properly rejected Jones’s latest desperate attempt to avoid accountability for the harm he has caused" - Chris Mattei, attorney representing the families.
The ruling will keep in place a lower court judge's order that Jones pay $1.4 billion.
The judgment has been described as a "financial death penalty" for Alex Jones.
