I heard about this ruling early this morning from Don Bankston. Mark Bankston is doing a great job in this case https://www.statesman.com/news/austin-judge-allows-sandy-hook-lawsuit-proceed-against-alex-jones/VzMGxJLSMQGwuky0IgzGUK/
Jenkins issued the order before this afternoons hearing on Jones request to dismiss a similar lawsuit, lawyer Mark Bankston said.
Im expecting an appeal, but well see in the next 30 days, Bankston said.
Jenkins also declined to dismiss a lawsuit filed by a man who alleged that he was erroneously identified on a Jones-related website as the shooter at a Parkland, Fla., high school attack that left 17 dead in February. In that case, however, the judge dismissed Jones as a defendant, Bankston said.
Now Mark gets to take Alex Jones' depo

Judge Scott Jenkins of the 53rd District Court ruled in Austin, Texas, on Thursday that the Infowars host must face claims from Leonard Pozner and Veronique De La Rosa. Theyre seeking more than $1 million in damages for his repeated lies about the 2012 massacre. The ruling came after Jones attempted to get his case dismissed earlier this month.
After considering the arguments of counsel and the record, including plaintiffs declarations filed on August 2, the court ORDERS that defendants motion is in all respects DENIED, the court filing said.
Pozner and De La Rosa lost their 6-year-old son Noah when a gunman killed 20 children and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
Jones was dismissed from the other lawsuit where he named some guy as the shooter in the Stoneman Douglas shooting
Hopefully these lawsuits will bankrupt this asshole

Little Bubba is in Austin for another hearing, but we have the results of the first hearing for the case representing the Sandy Hook parents.
That means Little Bubba won and the biggest hurdle for getting this to trial has been jumped.
God bless America.
