Balanced News: Judge allows Sandy Hook cases against Jones to proceed

HOUSTON — Cases can move forward against Alex Jones regarding the nearly $1.5 billion he’s ordered to pay families of Sandy Hook victims over his conspiracy theories about the 2012 school massacre, a federal bankruptcy judge ruled Monday, but the families can’t yet pursue collection efforts against the Infowars host. Judge Christopher Lopez approved an order that attorneys for Jones, his media company and the Sandy Hook families had all agreed to. The order lifts a stay that automatically halted the cases when Jones filed for bankruptcy.
