The Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre was ‘100% real,’ Jones testifies at his trial to determine how much he owes for defaming parents of a 6-year-old

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones said Wednesday that he now understands it was irresponsible of him to declare the Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre a hoax and that he now believes it was “100% real,” a day after the parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the attack testified about the suffering, death threats and harassment they’ve endured because of what Jones has trumpeted on his media platforms.

Jones is the only person testifying in defense of himself and his media company, Free Speech Systems. His attorney asked him if he now understands it was “absolutely irresponsible” to push the false claims that the massacre didn’t happen and no one died.He also complained that he’s been “typecast as someone that runs around talking about Sandy Hook, makes money off Sandy Hook, is obsessed by Sandy Hook.

“I am a mother first and foremost and I know you are a father. My son existed,” Lewis said to Jones. “I am not deep state ... I know you know that ... And yet you’re going to leave this courthouse and say it again on your show.”“No, I don’t think you’re an actor,” Jones responded before the judge admonished him to be quiet until called to testify.

Scarlett Lewis also described threatening emails that seemed to have uncovered deep details of her personal life.Heslin said he didn’t know if the Sandy Hook hoax conspiracy theory originated with Jones, but it was Jones who “lit the match and started the fire” with an online platform and broadcast that reached millions worldwide.

Heslin told the jury about holding his son with a bullet hole through his head, even describing the extent of the damage to his son’s body. A key segment of the case is a 2017 Infowars broadcast that said Heslin didn’t hold his son.

“This is not your show,” Judge Maya Guerra Gamble told Jones. “Your beliefs do not make something true. You are under oath.”

Is there such a thing as a less than 100% real event in his distorted mind?

wow, such a brave man. /s

Does it matter if he changes his mind? NO not at all. And he shouldn’t be allowed to pay his way out either. Screw this I can off the law crap in USA send him to jail

I concede water is wet

Some people will say anything to try to save themselves $150 million, eh?

Father of child killed in Sandy Hook testifies in Alex Jones defamation trialThe parents of slain 6-year-old Jesse Lewis are seeking as much as $150 million from Jones and his company, Free Speech Systems LLC Reminder to those foaming at the mouth for his downfall… he was not the perpetrator of the Sandy Hook murders, and should not be treated as if his role as a public figure commenting on the event, is more detrimental than the act he was commenting on. If a crazy person says four wild things that no one else is saying, and 2 of them turn out to be true, perhaps said crazy person is not as crazy as we thought… Alex Jones is definitely nuts… but a top notch conspiracy theorist, haha. Such a con and charlatan.
