InfoWars Must Turn Over Internal Documents to Families of Sandy Hook Victims
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

And in Connecticut, the families of six victims of the 2012 mass
shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School scored a legal victory Friday
when a judge ruled they can access internal documents from conservative
conspiracy theorist and internet personality Alex Jones and his website
Info Wars. The families of the victims argue that Jones fabricated and
perpetuated lies about the Sandy Hook massacre, portraying the event as
a hoax and the victims' families as paid actors. They say Jones engaged
in a "years-long campaign of abusive and outrageous false statements,"
which resulted in online harassment and death threats against the
plaintiffs. The massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary claimed the lives of
20 schoolchildren, ages 6 and 7, and six school staff members.
