An FBI agent struggled to control his emotions Tuesday as he described on the witness stand seeing bodies inside Sandy Hook elementary school — a scene that the conspiracy theorist Alex Jones later claimed was staged by actors.
FBI agent William Aldenberg was the first witness to testify as a Connecticut jury began hearing statements in a trial to decide how much money Jones owes for spreading the lie that the 2012 mass shooting in Newtown didn't happen.
Aldenberg broke down as he described being among the first law enforcement officers to enter the two classrooms where 20 children died.
"Was what you saw in that school fake?" asked attorney Christopher Mattei, a lawyer for the plaintiffs.
"No," Aldenberg said. "It's awful. It's awful."
