In 2017, Lucy Richards was sentenced to 5 months in prison for threatening Pozner’s life. She admitted in her guilty plea to being part of the active online community of Americans who believe that the Sandy Hook shooting was staged and that the victims and their mourning family members are only actors. Your assumption that Jones was the only person sued over this shit is demonstrably false, as is your assertion that jones is a “scapegoat” being persecuted by “the justice system” (it was the families of dead children that sued him), as is your assertion that alex jones is merely a “crank” and not a capitalist with a huge audience, as is your assertion that only one kid’s parents sued. it was 15 plaintiffs. Go listen to the court case. Go listen to the deposition hearings. Stop pulling shit out of your ass.

In June 2019, Wisconsin judge Frank Remington ruled that Pozner had been defamed by the authors of “Nobody Died At Sandy Hook: It was a FEMA Drill to Promote Gun Control.” The 455-page book, published by Moon Rock Books, argued that the Sandy Hook massacre had never happened. In it, they claim several times that Pozner had faked his son Noah’s death certificate. Pozner’s submissions in the case included DNA samples that match those taken by a Connecticut medical examiner that prove Noah was his son. Additionally, he submitted Noah’s birth certificate, report cards and medical records into the public record. The judge ruled that there was no question of fact in the dispute, and ruled in favor of Pozner in the libel case: that the co-editors of the book, James Fetzer and Mike Palecek, had defamed Pozner. “This is a victory for myself and my family” Pozner said in an interview. “It is also a victory for the survivors and victims’ families of all mass casualty events who have been targeted by these people.”
