QUESTION OF THE DAY: Should Alex Jones have to pay more to a Sandy Hook victim’s family?

The jury in a lawsuit against right-wing talk show host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones awarded the parents of a Sandy Hook shooting victim $4 million in compensatory damages on Thursday.
The jury decision came at the end of a closely watched trial. The parents sued Jones for his comments which included assertions that Sandy Hook wasn't a real shooting. Twenty-six people were killed in the school massacre.
The family had asked for $150 million in damages. However, a chance to get more remains as a punitive phase of the trial will happen at a later date.
