A defiant Alex Jones showed up at a Connecticut courthouse Tuesday declaring his innocence despite already being found liable for spreading the lie that the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax.
Jones left a short time later, indicating he would not be testifying on Tuesday.
The judge “has now ordered me to not say I’m not innocent and ordered me to say that I have not profited from Sandy Hook,” Jones said Tuesday. “That’s ordering me to perjure myself. I will not perjure myself under the order of a judge.” The plaintiffs say Jones’ promotion of the hoax lie on his Infowars show led to the families being threatened and harassed by deniers of the shooting. They say they’ve endured death threats and in-person harassment, video recording by strangers and abusive comments on social media. Some families moved out of Newtown to avoid the harassment.
