Opening statements will begin in a Connecticut courtroom to determine how much conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay families of 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting victims for falsely claiming the massacre was a hoax
In the Connecticut case, 14 family members of Sandy Hook victims sued Jones, founder of the right-wing Infowars radio show and webcast, and Infowars parent Free Speech Systems LLC in 2018. They say they were harassed by Jones’ followers as he and other contributors to his Infowars site claimed for years that the shooting was “staged” with crisis actors who faked their loved ones’ deaths.
A judge issued a default judgment in the case in November after Jones failed to comply with court orders. Free Speech Systems filed for bankruptcy in July. That would typically shield the company from lawsuits, but it agreed to face trial in August.
