Alex Jones testifies in trial over his Sandy Hook hoax lies
CBSN
Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones took the stand Thursday at his defamation trial in Connecticut as he tries to limit the damages he must pay for promoting the lie that the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax.
More than a dozen family members of some of the 20 children and six educators killed in the shooting also showed up to observe his testimony in Waterbury Superior Court, which is about 20 miles from Newtown, where the shooting occurred.
Plaintiffs attorney Christopher Mattei showed a video from Jones' Infowars web show in which he called the mass shooting "phony as a three-dollar bill" and called the parents of the victims "crisis actors."
