The U.S. Supreme Court has rejected Alex Jones" appeal regarding a $1.4 billion judgment related to the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. This decision was announced on Tuesday, October 14, 2025.
The judgment stems from a defamation case in which Jones, a conspiracy theorist and media personality, was found liable for spreading false claims about the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The court"s refusal to hear the appeal effectively upholds the previous ruling against Jones.
This ruling is part of a broader context of legal challenges faced by Jones, who has been involved in multiple lawsuits over his statements regarding the Sandy Hook tragedy. The Supreme Court"s decision marks a significant moment in the ongoing legal battles surrounding misinformation and its consequences.
