Alex Jones to return to the stand in Connecticut next week

Plaintiff's attorney Chris Mattei compares the social media reach of a tweet, which Alex Jones sued for defamation in 2019, to the reach of Infowars during his testimony at the Sandy Hook defamation damages trial at Connecticut Superior Court in Waterbury, Conn. Thursday, Sept. 22, 2022. Jones was found liable last year by default for damages to plaintiffs without a trial, as punishment for what the judge called his repeated failures to turn over documents to their lawyers. The six-member jury is now deciding how much Jones and Free Speech Systems, Infowars’ parent company, should pay the families for defaming them and intentionally inflicting emotional distress.
