Text messages and emails from Alex Jones show that he contradicted his own testimony during his defamation trial held Wednesday. The parents of a victim of the Sandy Hook shooting are suing the conspiracy theorist after he claimed the massacre was staged.
Alex Jones speaks with the media Tuesday following the end of that day’s testimony in his defamation trial in Austin., our daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news.
Jones testified Tuesday that he never mentioned Sandy Hook in text messages, so he never provided such records as required during the trial’s discovery process. But Mark Bankston, an attorney for Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, told Jones on Wednesday that Jones’ own attorneys recently accidentally sent them the contents of Jones’ phone from the last two years.
An Austin judge previously ordered a default judgment against Jones for defamation. It’s one of many defamation lawsuits filed by families of Sandy Hook shooting victims that Jones has lost. “I personally do not get on the internet and sit there and use email,” Jones said. “I never send emails myself because I don’t like it, I can’t stand it. That’s a fact, that I don’t use email.”
During closing arguments, one of the parents’ attorneys, Kyle Farrar, told jurors that they have a chance to hold Jones accountable for the harm his actions and words caused.
