..."The trial was marked by emotional testimony from several family members of victims who recounted threats of rape and death – alongside accusations from conspiracy theorists that they were “crisis actors” – a lie Jones promoted on his Infowars program.
During last week’s closing arguments, Mattei reminded the jury why they were so important.
"The families were drowning in grief and Alex Jones put his foot on them," Mattei said in the courtroom.
“The lies that started on Dec. 14, 2012, are continuing to this very day,” Mattei said during closing arguments. “In two months it will be 10 years, 10 years since these families lost their loved ones and even now, even now, he's still doing it.”
Jones declined to take the stand as a defense witness.
Jones was sued for defamation in 2018. Jones has portrayed the families as part of a conspiracy to fake the shooting and take people’s guns. He’s told many lies about the shooting, including that parents of victims were “crisis actors” and that the tragedy was “as fake as the $3 bill."
In a similar trial earlier this year in Texas, a jury ordered Jones to pay nearly $50 million to the parents of a first grader killed at Sandy Hook."
