It’s $45.2 million awarded by the jury. I can’t stand Jones, and I’m glad he was found guilty, and I’d love to have him repent and admit that most of what he has ever said has been lies, but I also don’t like the damages awarded by juries. $4 million is a lot, but within range of what the dead child might have earned in his lifetime. $45.2 million is not. And it’s not like Jones killed the child, even though he lied. This goes for damages country-wide. Sometimes gigantic awards are made to opioid addicts who have been receiving welfare benefits most of their life. Were they ever going to earn that much?
Make the punishment fit the crime. Maybe cut out his tongue. Or better yet, ban him from all forms of public dissemination of information true or false for life.
