The InfoWars founder has lost his third lawsuit in two days by default for failing to comply with repeated requests for documents in the discovery process. Neil Heslin, who lost his 6-year-old son Jesse in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, had sued Jones for defamation. The defeat means the right-wing media personality will be liable for yet more damages that a jury will decide at a later hearing.

Six other families are suing Jones.
