Jones missed both days of a scheduled deposition Wednesday and Thursday in Austin, Texas, home to Jones and Infowars. He cited a health problem that included vertigo and revealed Friday that it was a sinus infection. After he didn’t show up Wednesday on the advice of his doctors, Connecticut Judge Barbara Bellis ordered him to appear Thursday, noting he wasn’t hospitalized and had appeared in-person on his show Tuesday.
“The plaintiffs subjected themselves to hours and hours of painful questioning by Mr. Jones’s lawyers — and Mr. Jones plays sick when it is his turn to tell the truth under oath,” Alinor Sterling, one of the families’ lawyers, wrote in the motion. Earlier Friday, Jones said on his website show that it was “absolutely preposterous” the families’ lawyers were trying to have him arrested for missing a deposition because of illness. He said the families’ lawyers had delayed depositions in the case several times and he didn’t complain.
Twenty first graders and six educators were killed in the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. The families of eight of the victims and an FBI agent who responded to school sued Jones, Infowars and others in Connecticut, saying they have been subjected to harassment and death threats from Jones’ followers because of the hoax conspiracy promoted on the show. Jones has since said he believes the shooting did occur.

Perspective: if it is addressed in the law, you need not beg the justice to honor the law...caused to be brought before it / court any witness, or witnesses that were able to shed light on, or helping to bring clarity to matter-at-hand, etc?
What are they waiting for?
margbrennan I sincerely do not understand how this monster continues to walk around free.
travis_view Slow judicial backup is torturing Sandy Hook parents still ! C’mon this is beyond wrong.
This is white privileged at it best. It’s mind boggling this man is not arrested.
That is what mental illness will do to you
No punishment is enough for this human excrement after what he did to those poor families.
Throw him in prison and throw away the key!
One can lie under Oath, not need to have any documents requested in subpoena in small claim 's court; even if the elected judge sees the truth, they dismiss it & rule in favor of defendants cuz they will lose more votes with corporations than the single person suing for justice.
Someone needs to hold Alex Jones to account.
I want to see that perp walk so bad, I bet he’d be bawling the whole time!
Arrest this fuck and put him in general population. Yesterday was the 3rd anniversary of the suicide of Dr Jeremy Richman, a father who lost his daughter in Sandy Hook. AlexJones SandyHook
Diversity hiring is the big hiax/ lie the left tells. It goes like this .. it's ok to discriminate against me over and over whole life. U want to end racism, huh? The other side is racist? Tell it to others. I know better.
Punishing Alex Jones for something someone else did. Its not like he shot the kids. He apologized within a month. This is Harassment now
Ruin this guy for good.
Lock him up
Doesn’t he call everything a hoax?
In a defamation/slander suit, you have to prove they lied. Alex wants that.
Trumpers have no respect for the law, they don’t think it applies to them.
Can't understand why Alex Jones would make such a mockery of slain children/teachers.
deborahamos Isn't the real headline that the subpeona isn't being enforced? Why is it the families? You are . Why aren't you asking why he isn't arrested?
Recommend AlexJones provide lifelong community service cleaning up after school shootings.
Every time I see him he's fatter
A person is not required by law to answer a civil lawsuit. It is what it is!
People have the right to their own opinion. And freedom of speech is a RIGHT in this country has the PRESS forgotten this?
Why not just ask for the judge to hand down a judgement against Jones? One that will financially wipe him out.
lawlsuit
He's a Republican, silly....he has no consequences or accountability for his actions
Oh dear God, please arrest him. Haven't these people suffered enough injustice?
Arrest him. Send him to jail
Good he belongs in jail
