Trial set to begin for Alex Jones in Sandy Hook hoax case

Summary by Ground News

Jury selection is set for Monday, July 25, 2022 in a trial that will determine for the first time how much Infowars host Alex Jones must pay Sandy Hook Elementary School parents for falsely telling his audience that the deadliest classroom shooting in U.S. history was a hoax. Last month, a Texas jury ordered Jones to pay $49.3 million to the parents of 6-year-old Jesse Lewis, one of 26 students and teachers killed in the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The Connecticut case has the potential for a larger award because it involves three lawsuits which have been consolidated.
