NEWTOWN — Alex Jones was penalized with an escalating daily fine of $25,000 for “intentionally failing to comply with the orders of the court” to give pretrial testimony in the defamation case he lost in Connecticut to eight families whose loved ones were slain in the Sandy Hook shooting.

The fine, which could accumulate into six figures in as quickly as four days, was imposed Wednesday by state Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis after Jones twice defied court orders last week to sit for a deposition, citing doctors’ orders to refrain from stressful activity.

“The court finds by clear and convincing evidence that Mr. Jones willfully and in bad faith and without justification failed to abide by clear court orders requiring his deposition,” Bellis said during a midday hearing, where she also held him in contempt of court.

Bellis, who could have issued an order for Jones’ arrest to compel him to testify instead said the escalating daily fine would begin on Friday and would end only after Jones completed a full day’s deposition.

“If Mr. Jones’ counsel this afternoon informs (the families’) counsel that he will sit on Friday (for questioning under oath) and if he does, there will be no fine,” the judge said by way of example. “If Mr. Jones sits on Tuesday April 5th, the fine will be $25,000 for Friday and $50,000 for Monday for a total of $75,000.”

The sanctions against Jones, the host of “Infowars” who called the 2012 shooting of 26 first-graders and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School “staged,” “synthetic,” “manufactured,” “a giant hoax,” and “completely fake with actors,” is the latest development in a story that has been in the national headlines for the past week.

On Tuesday, Jones offered an FBI agent and 18 members of 10 families who lost loved ones in the school shooting $120,000 each to settle defamation lawsuits he lost against them in Texas and Connecticut late last year.

In Connecticut, the FBI agent and 14 people from eight families rejected Jones’ offer, calling it “a transparent and desperate attempt by Alex Jones to escape a public reckoning under oath with his deceitful, profit-driven campaign against the plaintiffs.”

The four other parents in the two defamation cases in Texas have yet to respond officially to Jones’ offer, according to their lead attorney in Texas, Mark Bankston. But on Wednesday one of those parents told Hearst Connecticut Media that he would reject Jones’ settlement offer and was “going to trial to fight him.”
