Jurors begin deliberations in Alex Jones Sandy Hook defamation trial

Reuters
A Connecticut jury began deliberating Thursday in a trial to decide how much conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and his company must pay families of victims of the 2012 Sandy Hook mass shooting for falsely claiming the massacre was a hoax.

The deliberations come after three weeks of trial in Waterbury, Connecticut, not far from where a gunman killed 20 small children and six staff members at Sandy Hook Elementary School in December 2012. Jurors were sent home after an hour of deliberations Thursday and will resume them on Friday.

Alex wouldn't even testify (lie) on his own behalf, because what's the use? If the judge is going to insist on using facts and not letting Alex harass or threaten the jury, what's the point of even showing up?

The judicial system is just so unfair to lying, loud-mouthed pieces of shit!
