I think they do. Who made death threats?

No it doesn't. Jor is correct that you need to prove damages in order to win a defamation suite. But regardless of whether that is possible or not, this is still a civil suit which means it has absolutely nothing to do with the 1st amendment. As for the damages? If I understand the process correctly, you don't have to convince a judge in the matter, you have to convince a jury. A jury full of schmucks who aren't even smart enough to know how to get out of jury duty. Seems to me, if you stack that jury full of people who have had a child or who know someone who has had a child, or who have met a child themselves at some point during their adult lives, you might have too tough of a time convincing them that the pain and suffering these parents experienced was made worse by the repeated public claims that they were faking the whole thing. Still seems like it'll be a tough case to win. But I don't think it'll be impossible.
Seems to me that the miserable fucktard has already consulted a lawyer.

Jones has repeatedly claimed on his website, Infowars, that the shooting was staged. Scum-sucking pig. Just think about the jury appeal of the bolded part.

Alex Jones isn't the only nut. The NRA leadership has used fear to pit society against cops and cops to fear society.
