Who is Alex Jones? Age Family, lawsuits over Sandy Hook shooting, Wikipedia, Wife, Bio

Alexander Emerick Jones is an American far-right radio show host and highly prominent conspiracy theorist. He hosts The Alex Jones Show from Austin, Texas, which the Genesis Communications Network syndicates across the United States and online. Jones’ website, InfoWars, promotes conspiracy theories and fake news, as do his other websites NewsWars and PrisonPlanet. He has provided a platform and support for white nationalists, as well as serving as an “entry point” to their ideology.

Jones has promoted conspiracy theories alleging that the United States government either concealed information about or outright falsified the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, the 1995 Oklahoma City bombing, the September 11 attacks, and the 1969 Moon landing.

Alex Jones; Judge issues default judgment against him in lawsuits over Sandy Hook shooting

A judge in Austin has issued default judgments against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, citing his habit of bad faith in dealing with cases brought by the parents of two children slain in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in 2012.

The rulings mean the lawsuits will proceed to a trial to determine how much money Jones and his InfoWars media system must pay the parents for defamation and emotional distress caused by broadcasts that called the school shooting a hoax.

It’s no longer a matter of whether Jones writes a check to the parents, said Bill Ogden, a lawyer for the parents. “It’s now how big a check is it going to be.”

District Judge Maya Guerra Gamble said the rarely granted motion for a default judgment was appropriate because prior sanctions, including $150,000 in court-ordered penalties, failed to change Jones’ behavior.

“In considering whether lesser remedies would be effective, this Court has also considered Defendants’ general bad faith approach to litigation, Mr. Jones’ public threats, and Mr. Jones’ professed belief that these proceedings are ‘show trials,'” Guerra Gamble wrote in three similar orders.

Ogden said he was thrilled at the result.

“It’s been a long time coming for these parents, and we’re happy the way it worked out,” said Ogden, with the  Farrar and Ball law firm in Houston.

“In Texas, we call (default judgments) death penalty sanctions. We learn about them in law school, but … none of the lawyers I’ve spoken with have ever had this happen. It’s like a unicorn of the law,” Ogden said. “But we’ve never seen such blatant disregard for a court’s authority the way we have here.”

The ruling can be appealed.

In a statement posted on the InfoWars website, Jones called the default judgment “stunning.”

“Nothing less than the fundamental right to speak freely is at stake in these cases. It is no an overstatement to say the First Amendment was crucified today,” Jones and InfoWars lawyer Norm Pattis wrote. “We are distressed by what we regard as a blatant abuse of discretion by the trial court. We are determined to see that these cases are heard on the merits.”

In a video accompanying the statement, Jones said the Sandy Hook lawsuits were part of a campaign by “the left in this country to weaponize the legal system.”

“Every basic form of American liberty is being abolished and overthrown as we speak. They’re coming after me because I’m standing in their way,” he said.

Lawyers for the parents had asked the judge to sanction Jones for violating rules on the pretrial discovery, as well as previous court orders, by withholding vital information that was first requested in 2018.

“We still don’t have the most basic information about this case,” lawyer Mark Bankston told the judge during an Aug. 31 hearing, arguing that Jones failed to provide a wide range of requested evidence, including video of his on-air discussions about Sandy Hook, transcripts and the content from social media.

“Now we’re talking about having to find people three years out … to see who was involved in this case, who might still have documents,” Bankston said. “The quality of the evidence and of people’s memories all degrades.”

Jones also declined to directly answer many of the questions asked during a sworn deposition, he said.

Because the pattern of abuse was so pervasive, Bankston said the parents should be able to skip next year’s trials on whether Jones defamed them and proceed directly to determining how much money they’re owed in damages.

In her order, signed Monday but released Thursday, Guerra Gamble agreed, saying lighter sanctions — such as additional monetary penalties or an order banning Jones from introducing certain evidence — would raise legal costs for the Sandy Hook parents while doing little to correct “persistent discovery abuses” by Jones.

The shooting at Sandy Hook left 26 children and six adults dead in Newtown, Conn.

Four lawsuits — filed in Travis County, where Jones and his InfoWars media system are based — seek monetary awards for defamation and the intentional infliction of emotional distress:

Scarlett Lewis, the mother of Jesse Lewis, complained that Jones called the school shooting “as phony as a three-dollar bill” and that other statements on InfoWars implied that parents were not genuinely grieving the loss of their children.

Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa, parents of 6-year-old Noah Pozner, quoted broadcasts in which Jones cast the school shooting as a “false flag” hoax to create a pretext for government action limiting gun rights.

Neil Heslin, the father of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, filed two lawsuits taking exception to statements by Jones alleging that the school shooting was “a giant hoax” and disputing Heslin’s claim that he had held his dead son in his arms afterward.

Alex Jones Wife, His Relationship, What about Children?

Jones has three children with his ex-wife Kelly Jones. The couple divorced in March 2015. Jones remarried Erika Wulff Jones in 2017 and has another child with her. In 2017, Kelly sought sole or joint custody of their children due to her ex-husband’s behavior.

She claimed “he’s not a stable person” and “I’m concerned that he is engaged in felonious behavior, threatening a member of Congress” (Adam Schiff). His attorney responded by claiming that “he’s playing a character” and describing him as a “performance artist”.

On his show, Jones denied playing a character and he called his show “the most bona fide, hard-core, real McCoy thing there is, and everybody knows it”.  In court, Jones clarified that he generally agreed with his attorney’s statement, but that he disagreed with the media’s interpretation of the term “performance artist”.

 Kelly was awarded the right to decide where their children live while he maintains visitation rights.[235] In April 2020, a state district judge denied an emergency motion by Kelly to secure custody of their daughters for the next two weeks after Jones led a rally at the Capitol, where he was mobbed by unmasked supporters and called COVID-19 a hoax.

His son, Rex Jones, has worked for InfoWars, receiving media attention for a video which was critical of gun control and BuzzFeed News.
