..."Jones told the parents that he never intended to hurt them. He also said he eventually acknowledged that the massacre indeed took place, despite having repeatedly said year after year that the shooting was staged.
He argued that he's an opinionated personality practicing his right to free speech. Jones' hate speech and lies got him kicked off multiple platforms, including YouTube, Twitter and Facebook, NPR previously reported.
Still, his broadcast of conspiracy theories continue to bring in millions of viewers every month, some of whom went as far as to stalk and harass Heslin and Lewis, even making death threats.
Jones' company, Free Speech Systems LLC, filed for bankruptcy during the trial, but the parents and their lawyers believe he is hiding millions of dollars."
