Alex Jones trial goes off the rails after he claims the "deep state" is behind Sandy Hook lawsuit
The InfoWars host used his court testimony to push new conspiracy theory
DAVID EDWARDS

onspiracy theorist Alex Jones testified to a court on Thursday that he believes the "deep state" is behind a defamation lawsuit over the Sandy Hook shooting.

After taking the stand for the first time in Connecticut, Jones was asked about claims made on his website that the FBI orchestrated a lawsuit brought by an agent who responded to the Sandy Hook shooting.

Attorney Chris Mattei quoted from Jones' website: "FBI sues Alex Jones to destroy First Amendment."

"You know the FBI hasn't sued you?" Mattei asked.

"I mean, I think that's a point of view," Jones replied. "I actually agree with that."

"Oh, you agree?" Mattei pressed. "The FBI is a plaintiff in this case that sued you here?"

Alex Jones declines to put on a defense in defamation trial
By DAVE COLLINS and PAT EATON-ROBB

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones decided not present any defense Wednesday at his defamation trial in Connecticut and was back in Texas in advance of closing arguments over how much he should pay for promoting the lie that the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.

The jury of three men and three women is being asked to decide how much Jones should give the families of eight victims and an FBI agent who all testified they have spent almost a decade being targets of harassment by those who believe the shooting didn’t happen and that they are “crisis actors.”

Jones, who outside the courthouse insisted that he has never been linked to the direct harassment or threats against the families, was found liable by default last year for defaming them and intentionally inflicting emotional distress. The judge ruled that he had repeatedly violated court orders to ...

Daughter of Sandy Hook victim rails against Alex Jones in op-ed
"Over time, I began to connect the dots and figured out who this Alex Jones guy was," she wrote
MEAGHAN ELLIS

The daughter of the slain principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School has penned an op-ed shedding light on the impact of Alex Jones' perpetuation of conspiracy theories about the mass shooting.

In a piece published by Newsweek, Erica Lafferty, the daughter of Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, recounted how it felt when conspiracy theorists like Jones began circulating claims about the shooting being a hoax. For Lafferty and family members of other victims, the shooting was anything but a hoax.

"Jones has been in my life for nearly a decade, but not by choice. I was in my late twenties when my mother, Dawn Lafferty Hochsprung, the principal of Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut, was killed on December 14, 2012," Lafferty wrote.

"Within days of the shooting, I heard people online saying ....
