Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his company have been ordered to pay an extra $473 million to families and an FBI agent for calling the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting a hoax.

The conspiracy theorist said that he now understands it was irresponsible of him to declare the Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting a hoax.
"I wanted to tell you to your face. ... Jesse was real. I am a real mom," Scarlett Lewis told Alex Jones. "...I know you know that, and that's the problem."

Longrunning questions about kidney dialysis don't justify shooting, prosecutor says.
In this web exclusive, LaQuayia Goldring (who goes by LQ) talks with "48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty about her experience as a dialysis patient and kidney donor recipient, and her struggle to locate a new kidney after her donated organ failed.

"48 Hours" correspondent Erin Moriarty examines the serious concerns about the dialysis industry, where a CBS News investigation has found one-third of all dialysis clinics failed to meet federal performance standards this year. The companies deny these allegations, and say patient care and safety are their primary concerns.
