US Supreme Court rejects Alex Jones appeal in Sandy Hook shooting case

The US Supreme Court has rejected Alex Jones's appeal in the Sandy Hook shooting case, upholding the nearly $1.5bn defamation judgment against him. Jones has yet to pay any damages to the families affected by the tragedy. Jones argued that selling his Infowars media company to The Onion would harm him and his audience, but his appeal was denied by the highest US court. The legal battle highlights Jones's false claims about the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting and the consequences he now faces for spreading misinformation.
