Will Alex Jones pay the Sandy Hook families?

Alex Jones is an American radio show host and prominent conspiracy theorist who was last week ordered to pay almost a billion dollars US to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook school massacre. Jones had peddled the theory the shooting was a hoax to curb America’s gun laws.

A court in Connecticut ordered Jones to pay up – but he’s now claiming bankruptcy and there are fears the families will never receive the compensation they deserve.

Elizabeth Williamson, a New York Times journalist and author of “Sandy Hook: An American Tragedy and the Battle for Truth” joins us to explain if the families will ever see any money, and how Jones has managed to slip the net of accountability for the pain and suffering he’s caused.
