Jurors in Alex Jones' defamation suit have ordered him to pay nearly a billion dollars to the families of the victims of the Sandy Hook massacre. Despite the massive sum, however, Jones says he is 'not going away' and 'not going to stop.'

A six-person jury has ruled on the 17th day of the hearing that he will be liable to pay $965million to the 15 plaintiffs, which include families and a FBI agent. It is the largest defamation suit damages figure in US history, surpassing a 1997 case where a brokerage firm sued the Wall Street Journal and won $222.7million.
