Families of Sandy Hook shooting victims win legal victory in lawsuit against InfoWars, Alex Jones

ABC News

Six families of victims killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School won a legal victory Friday in their fight against controversial radio and internet personality Alex Jones.

A judge in Connecticut has granted the families’ discovery requests, allowing them access to, among other things, Infowars’ internal marketing and financial documents.

The judge has scheduled a hearing next week to decide whether to allow the plaintiffs’ attorneys to depose Jones.  

The plaintiffs include the parents of five children who went to the school as well as family members of first-grade teacher Victoria Leigh Soto and Principal Dawn Hochsprung, according to a statement from the plaintiff’s attorneys.

According to the statement, the plaintiffs allege a “years-long campaign of abusive and outrageous false statements in which Jones and the other defendants have developed, amplified and perpetuated claims that the Sandy Hook massacre was staged and that the 26 families who lost loved ones that day are paid actors who faked their relative’s deaths.”

It goes on to say that “Jones’ actions subjected the families and survivors of the Sandy Hook shooting to physical confrontations and harassment, death threats and personal attacks on social media.”

“From the beginning, we have alleged that Alex Jones and his financial network trafficked in lies and hate in order to profit from the grief of Sandy Hook families. That is what we intend to prove, and today’s ruling advances that effort,” Chris Mattei, one of the attorneys representing the families, said in the statement. “We look forward to gaining access to Infowars’ internal marketing and financial documents to show that Jones has built an empire as nothing more than a conspiracy profiteer, as alleged in our complaint.”

Jones has sought to dismiss the lawsuit.

“Plaintiffs suffered a horrible tragedy,” his defense attorney, Jay M. Wolman, wrote in a motion to dismiss the lawsuit. “Alex Jones and Infowars are not responsible for this tragedy. To punish them for First Amendment protected speech on this matter of public concern will not bring back the lives lost.”

Wolman did not immediately respond to ABC News’ requests for comment.

The judge’s ruling on discovery gives the plaintiffs access to any communication Jones had about the Newtown massacre and to documents that could point to the inner workings of Infowars.

  1. Alex Jones is a punk yes, he talks too much. He feeds the MSMs agenda.

    The MSM is just as guilty as any supposed shooter. They’re the ones that fed this bullshit. Turning up the volume, basically baiting the next young punk to come and play.

    But, the MSM has basically nurtured this garbage to the point where every nutcase around comes to the game to play for nothing more than attention. Crisis actors coming out of the woodwork feeding the crap. Punks like David Hogg standing in front of the US Congress feeding his ego, praying for attention.

    The parkland shooting was manufactured chaos, directed by the MSM. Feeding the attention seekers, who can’t wait to play.

    The second article killers can’t wait for the next one. When it happens they will stand back and say, “ we told you so”.

    The MSM are culpable as hell. They need to turn it down, goddamned circus barkers at best.

  2. Personally, I would like to see Infowars take advantage of this opportunity to put the enormous mountain of evidence that Sandy Hook was a hoax on court record. How would a naive American jury react to the revealing videos that have been published on YouTube and Vimeo? Evidence they have never seen because they watch TV.
    .

  3. Ok infowars is C.Ops…we get that…looking at this on face value….doesnt discovery work in two directions….even if Infowhores has to counter sue…?

    And why would your defense attorney make a claim of facts “unknown” about dead kids of plaintiffs..?

    Also…isn’t halbig named in this suit…this thing smells huge time…

    If it wasn’t for the actions and reactions of those involved in Sandy hoax especially the purported parents, most people would not have questioned the event or looked closely at the monumental lack of actual evidence of death…

    Total hoax and when it is uncovered i would suggest public televised hangings for all involved from A to Z….and that should include those giving cover at every level….

    Truth will be known one day….!!!

  4. F**k these Money-Grubbing Jews.
    Actually, that statement is redundant.
    Money-grubbing extorters, grifters, psychopaths, liars, False Flag hoaxsters, Holo-hoaxsters, etc.
    And Jews.
    The same thing.
    Unseperable.
    Scum of humanity.

  5. the whole case rests on the fact that jones interviewed wolfgang halbig and what he has found out in his investigation of sandy hook. leonard posner, one of the sandyhook parents, had to withdraw his case against halbig.
    this is nothing more than lawfare and it’s a violation of both freedom of speech and of the press. no.1
    i’m sure the contents of discovery will be “leaked”.
    whatever you think of jones, look at the programming taking place in reading the comments on this “news item” in the mainstream media.
    people are begging for him to be taken off the air and internet.
    not good.

  6. I agree with the fbi.
    Nobody died in newtown that year from a gunshot or terrorism.

    I also agree.with the fire dept located on the back side of the school property. They went the wrong way and didnt know where the school was located. Confusion over school name and it being closed down a couple years prior. Used as a crisis training facility. No kids.

    I agree with the coroner reports that lanza was pronounced dead days before the event and in a different state.

    I agree with hours of video at.the scene never.showing a school full of children exiting building to go home after event.

    Alex who?
    Never heard of him.

  7. The Jew “Parents” want more money.
    What else is new.
    Let me guess?
    Jew Lawyers?
    Jew Judges?
    Jew State? Absolutely.
    Extortion is their speciality. Usury is the primary method.
    Fortunately for Americans…Jews are really shitty at Gun Control in most of Geographical America.
    That means they are already concentrated into small geographical areas if they ever attempt to push anti-gun laws too far.
    Then they can really concentrate themselves and all move to Israel.
    No transfer agreement this time.
    All assets MUST be left behind in the US.

  8. “Fortunately for Americans…Jews are really shitty at Gun Control in most of Geographical America.”

    What do you expect? The Zionist Jews are the kinda weasels that think they can buy you with their fiat money when you have a gun pointed at them.

    In any case, they can keep their money. They’re gonna need a lot of it to bribe their Dark Master on their way to HELL!
