Alex Jones appears in court for depositions

According to court records filed Wednesday, Infowars presenter Alex Jones finished two days of depositions in a defamation case filed by the relatives of Sandy Hook Elementary School massacre victims.

Jones was convicted in contempt of court by Connecticut judge Barbara Bellis last week for failing to appear for depositions on March 23 and 24.

She sentenced him to pay tens of thousands of dollars in daily fines for each day he failed to submit the sworn testimony. Jones paid $75,000, according to the document, with $25,000 paid on Friday and $50,000 paid on Monday.

Jones appeared in court for depositions on Tuesday and Wednesday “According to Jones’ lawyer, Norm Pattis, Jones went “above and beyond” Bellis’ order by sitting “beyond usual hours for the deposition to provide the plaintiffs’ counsel a complete and fair chance to question him.”

Jones said he sat with a plaintiff’s lawyer in Connecticut for 10 hours, which he described as “next level, like a hallucination or something” in a video released to the Infowars website Tuesday.

Jones went on to say that he had been “demonised,” but that he had offered “everything.” “He was asked about a paper.

Jones stated to the camera, “Here’s the main takeaway, and I’ll simply confess it.” “On Sandy Hook, I could have done a better job.” I confessed that some of the oddities we reported on were inaccurate years before I was sued.”

Jones was asked questions unrelated to the Sandy Hook massacre, according to Pattis, who described it as a “wide wholesale attack” on the Infowars host and his website.

“Tempers erupted in the room from time to time,” the attorney stated on Tuesday.

“Alex didn’t do everything perfectly today, but he did an excellent job.”

A request for comment from Pattis was not returned.

Jones’ depositions were for an impending trial to decide how much he should pay the eight victims’ families and an FBI agent who sued him over his assertions that the Dec. 14, 2012, school massacre was a fake, which he said he missed due to health issues.

The shooting murdered twenty first-graders and six educators.

The plaintiffs allege that they have been harassed and have received death threats as a result of Jones’ assertions. Jones was held responsible for damages in the slander complaint by Bellis last year.
