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."

Oh, hell yeah!:2razz:

There has to be a special place in hell for those who lie about the families of those who died in a tragedy in order to make money.

They haven't "won" yet, but , hopefully, they will.

How could Jones make such outrageous claims about these innocent victims is beyond me.

Alex Jones is a despicable man who exploits tragedies, for money. That is how he "earns" a living. It takes a special kind of evil to deliberately create and propagate false narratives about the Sandy Hook shooting and its victims, which also resulted in victims families being harassed and abused.

He, and those who follow/support him, are beyond vile.

Jones is subhuman garbage. I was glad to read that his vile YouTube show was yanked (including all past episodes) and hope that he is sued out of every penny he has, and driven back under his rock. Forever.
