children, staffers at sandy hook elementary school nearly ten years ago. conspiracy peddler and profiteer alex jones slandered this little girl s memory with his online rantings and tormted his father robby who you ll hear from tonight. take a look at dylan, also 6 and also murdered in the worst mass shooting this country has ever endured and conspiracy profiteer slandered his memory for money. alex jones also slandered the memory of school psychologist. when she first heard shots she left her office, ran toward the gunman doing her best to warn others and save lives before the killer murdered her. no one can possibly imagine what her family, mhave been through since that day. and it would be bad enough had such a profound loss been all they had to live. instead thanks to this person, alex jones, they ve had to endure far worse. they ve been told their loss never happened, that their children and parents and spouses weren t actually murdered, maybe didn t even exist. so if th
knowingly promoting false statements to someone injureious to a person and it really does not provide protection. paul, how hard is it to get money from someone like alex jones? you can have a judgment but there s a lot of states where it s hard to get money from people who have defrauded people. it s very difficult, and looking at his financial empire and buy this entire case is about him lying about the killing of these poor children was made only to make money. he was selling supplements with the conspiracy theorists who love to watch him. but he created shell cooperations where he hides his money, and he moves his money around. and he also has tried to use the bankruptcy courts to protect his money. i don t think the bankruptcy defense is going to work for him because when the conduct involved is intentional and fraudulent, the courts are very hesitant to allow you to get out from under a judgment by claiming bankruptcy. so this judgment could hangover his head for the rest o
is offering or go to court and take your chances trying to get more? the advice is at least look at the award. at least know what the award will be before you decide to take it or walk away from it. if you choose to walk away from it, you have some potential benefits and you have some potential risks. keep in mind each state now caps punitive damages. and they cap pain and suffering damages. so if there is a case where perhaps there are some contributory negligence or a bankruptcy defense, do you two, three years from now ask a jury to award a certain amount of money and can that award, under your state s caps, be more than the offer that mr. feinberg makes for you. another key point is the gm bankruptcy may shield the company from damages if the accident occurred during the bankruptcy. but i want to pose to you a broader question which is kenneth feinberg said he doesn t
bankruptcy, only for accidents that occurred before the bankruptcy filing. but she can t have it both ways? right? you re the lawyer, obviously. if you re setting the up a compensation fund, ob yviously that means you re recognizing a liability. to do so later in court with those who don t want to be part of that fund and claim bankruptcy, it s weird. isn t it? it s more than weird. and you know, the law does recognize that term. it is weird. but since it s a voluntary program, gm will claim we re not waiving our right to bankruptcy simply because we re doing the right thing and offering these victims compensation, even though we would have the bankruptcy defense. the problem for with their strategy is, if a victim is looking at the compensation plan, and perhaps it s going to be fair. perhaps kim feinberg will make it as fair as possible. have you heard anything on that? would you are you open to the compensation fund, or are you just saying, i kind of know where this is g
