A Look Inside the Rulings for Sandy Hook Families In Alex Jones Bankruptcy
Litigators at Koskoff, Koskoff & Bieder and Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison have been working for families of those killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting in Newtown, CT.
Part of that work includes litigating against conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who for years claimed the shooting was a hoax by the government. In October, the Connecticut team and lawyers pursuing parallel claims in Texas got key wins from U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston who found that Jones cannot use his bankruptcy filing to discharge debts accrued through "willful and malicious injury" to the families.
Our colleague at Litigation Daily conducted a Q&A with the team working on the case in bankruptcy court in Texas, who provides an inside look at the case, their strategy, and some takeaways. The team includes: Stuart Lombardi and Jennifer Hardy of Willkie Farr & Gallagher, working pro bono, as well as Avi Moshenberg of McDowell Hetherington and Jarrod Martin of Chamberlain, Hrdlicka, White, Williams & Aughtry.
