A Texas Judge ruled that Alex Jones should pay the $45.2 million in punitive damages that a jury awarded two Sandy Hook parents, in spite of a state cap that would have limited that amount.

Alex Jones has lost a bid to water down the nearly $50 million damages award handed down by a jury earlier this year over the Infowars host’s false claims about the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre. Texas Judge Maya Guerra Gamble on Tuesday ruled that Jones should pay the $45.2 million in punitive damages that a jury awarded Sandy Hook parents Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis in August, in spite of a state cap that would have limited that amount. The jury also ruled that Jones should pay $4.

But Judge Gamble ruled that she would enter a judgment for the full amount. “There’s no question to me that this is a rare instance, I hope it remains a rare instance, where a defendant intentionally inflicted emotional damage in a manner so unusual that the victims had no other recourse,” Judge Gamble said. She added that the amount should be high enough so it “isn’t affordable” to intentionally inflict this type of emotional damage again.
