Verdict: Alex Jones owes $45.2 million more to Sandy Hook in punitive damages. That's on top of $4.1 million in compensatory. That's $49.3 million to two Sandy Hook families. Two more trials after this. Unanimous verdict (what's required for punitive damages).

Just finished Fahrenheit 451. Scary how something written so long ago can still be relevant.
If you can see the moon tonight. It’s amazing.
Today we remember the life and legacy of Stuart Scott, who we lost on this day in 2015 to #appendixcancer. Stuart Scott continues to be a source of inspiration to our rare patient community. 🎗
