A jury in Connecticut will hear arguments today as it determines how much money radio host Alex Jones should pay relatives of victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Last year, in a rare move, Judge Barbara Bellis found Jones liable by default in a defamation lawsuit brought by parents of children killed in the Connecticut shooting over Jones’ statements that the shooting was a hoax. The judge stated Jones had failed to turn over documents that might have shown how he and his company profited from spreading his statements about the school shooting.
The current trial is being held in Waterbury, Connecticut, not far from Newtown, where 26 Sandy Hook Elementary School students and teachers were shot to death in 2012. The trial is expected to last “about a month and feature testimony from both Jones and the families,” reports NPR.
This is the second such trial for Jones, who was ordered by a Texas jury last month to pay over $45 million to Sandy Hook parents. (Read more from “Second Trial Between Alex Jones and Sandy Hook Parents Under Way” HERE)
