I would probably go for a sob story about why a right-wing conspiracy theorist with a talk show caused me $1B in damages by saying nonsense 99.9% of the US and none of my employers believe. While simultaneously using the notoriety created by said loon to beg for money for cancer treatment.

These families had armed men going to their homes screaming threats at them for being "paid actors" after having already lost their children. This was well documented and proved beyond a reasonable doubt in a court of law.

The parents won a defamation suit. Nothing was proven beyond a reasonable doubt. That's not even the standard by which civil claims are made.

They had some very clever lawyers, that law-fared defamation against the dead into being defamation against the living because by defaming the dead you are lying about the living's representation about the dead. These lawyers are yanking their chain around, pursuing political enemies, for whatever scraps of Infowars are left without their star loon (and its not clear the parents are going to even get much of these scraps because they were then conned into accepting future revenue from this husk). Meanwhile they are dragging along their agony because the guy who killed their kids was a broke nobody, so they yanked along the parents for years going after the nearest unlikeable pockets as sort of a surrogate villain.

You are making a criminal accusation that beyond a reasonable doubt armed men are making threats, based on a civil suit. Perhaps you are the libeler.
