lex Jones appeared in a Connecticut court room on Thursday during a trial in which plaintiffs are suing him for damages following his claims that the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax.

Jones, owner of the far-right conspiracy site Infowars, is on trial for the second time as a jury considers how much Jones should owe in damages to families of eight Sandy Hook Elementary School victims. The families claim Jones' conspiracy theories about Sandy Hook being staged caused them psychological harm.

Attorney Chris Mattei criticized Jones for his actions during the trial so far, such as calling Judge Barbara Bellis a "tyrant" and not considering the trial to be an "important case." When pushed on whether he was taking those actions as part of a plot to bolster his credibility, Jones told Mattei that credibility isn't the most important duty he has with his audience.When Mattei further questioned Jones about why he believes he must crush the globalists, Jones' attorney Norm Pattis quickly objected. The objection led to a lengthy discussion between the two attorneys and Bellis.
