The relatives of the Sandy Hook victims won their defamation suits against Jones in 2021. But they have yet to see a penny since Jones and his media company filed for bankruptcy protection in 2022.
Chris Mattei, an attorney representing some of the Sandy Hook families, said Jones is on the “brink of justice” and the victims’ relatives are determined to keep him accountable.
“The Connecticut families have fought for years to hold him responsible no matter the cost and at great personal peril. Their steadfast focus on meaningful accountability, and not just money, is what has now brought him to the brink of justice in the way that matters most,” Mattei said in a statement.
