@Teri_Kanefield forwarded onto a bunch of #policyWonk fans of the #KnowledgeFight podcast who have got really into stuff relating to defamation cases (especially repeated defamations for the purposes of driving up traffic).

At the moment we are picking through bits released in #AlexJones and #FreeSpeechSystems (aka #InfoWars ) bankruptcy proceedings.

Thanks for the nice explainers on this case.

Judge Bellis lifts the Texas punitive cap. The full punitive damages have been awarded - so $49.2 million against #AlexJones and #FreeSpeechSystems / #InfoWars, with some discussion on the constitutionality of the cap.

Also:
27 March 2023 for the Ponzer case.
2 October 2023 for the Marcel Fontaine case

Sanctions haven't yet been determined.
Much for #KnowledgeFight to discuss.

The judge notes that Reynal left a lot of stuff behind after the first case.
