PSA: the 'crisis actors' claim at Sandy Hook keeps getting used wrong, and I have the court records to prove it
I've been reading the actual court filings from the Alex Jones defamation cases in Connecticut and Texas, and people keep saying the parents were 'proven' to be actors, which is the exact opposite of what happened. In 2022 a jury in Austin awarded $49 million to the parents, and a Connecticut jury hit him with $965 million, both based on his lies causing real harm to real families. I know this because I pulled the verdict forms from the court docket myself, not from some YouTube clip. The 'crisis actor' label was a defense some people threw around online, never something a judge or jury ever accepted. So why does this specific talking point keep getting recycled when the paper trail clearly shows the opposite happened?
