Rudy Giuliani and Alex Jones have the freedom to spread conspiracy theories, whether they're about the 2020 election or the Sandy Hook mass shooting.
But the two right-wing personalities — one a once-beloved mayor, the other an online commentator who sells supplements — are getting a message from US courts: defamation comes with a hefty price tag.
Juries in both Jones' and Giuliani's cases slapped them with whopping judgments for defaming innocent people with their conspiracy theories, holding them legally liable of sparking harassment from their supporters.
On Friday, a DC jury awarded $148 million in total to two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss.

On Friday, a DC jury awarded $148 million in total to two Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and her daughter Wandrea "Shaye" Moss.
The judgment could mean financial ruin for Giuliani, who also is facing criminal charges in Georgia after prosecutors accused him of helping Donald Trump try to overturn the results of the 2020 election he claims was rigged.
Giuliani was found liable for repeatedly pushing false claims that Freeman and Moss added "suitcases" full of fake votes to the Georgia 2020 election tally, swinging the state for Biden."...

They both lost due to refusing to participate in pre-trial discovery. In a lawsuit, not providing information is grounds for forfeiture by default.

If Don't Want the Court to Punish You, Don’t Play Games in Discovery!
Discovery in civil or family court is the exchange of information between the parties before trial. If you don't cooperate, here's what can happen to you.
