The First Amendment protects free speech, especially involving public figures. It's not illegal to speculate and claim things which aren't true. In order for this "defamation" case to hold water a few things need to be proven:

-That Alex Jones was motivated by malicious intent against the Sandy Hook parents.

-That Alex Jones had knowledge that the statements he was making weren't true.

-That the parents suffered severe debilitating distress as a result of his words.

-That Alex Jones is responsible for the actions of people who harassed the parents.

Instead the liberal activist female judge has automatically decided Jones is guilty because he missed a court date without the right to a trial by jury. She's telling the jury their only task is to determine how guilty he is, up to $150 million.
