OK, there isn't any doubt that Alex Jones is a bad person, and that he peddled a ridiculous conspiracy theory about the Sandy Hook shootings. Let's also acknowledge that some of the crazies who take him seriously made threats against some of the principles, and the actual victims were made to feel badly. For a while.
A billion dollars in damages?
No actual harm was done to anyone. No physical damage. No injuries, disease or death to anyone. And now with the publicity of the trial, there is essentially nobody remaining who takes the conspiracy theory seriously.

The American tort law system sucks. Big time.
