A conspiracy theorist's defamation damages have been reduced. 5 million, down from $50 million. This change follows a lengthy legal process.
The reduction was made by Texas' Third Court of Appeals. The court's decision comes after a significant back-and-forth in the legal battle. Further details on the case and the court's decision are available from the source.
