A Monday ruling from a Connecticut court — which found Jones and the other defendants liable for defamation — brought swift reaction from an attorney representing the families Sandy Hook victims, high-profile politicians and those defending Jones in the suit. "It's sick — and I'm glad that, at least today, several families from Sandy Hook have their day in court and have been able to reach some justice," Murphy said.
