New Sandy Hook lie suits
THE FAMILIES of six victims slaughtered at Sandy Hook Elementary School have filed a defamation lawsuit against conspiracy monger Alex Jones.
The suit filed Wednesday accuses the “Infowars” host (photo) of “a years-long campaign of abusive and outrageous false statements.”
“While the nation recoiled at the terrible reality of the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Alex Jones saw an opportunity,” said the families’ attorney, Josh Koskoff.
“He went on a sustained attack that has lasted for years, accusing shattered family members of being actors, stating as fact that the shooting itself was a hoax and inciting others to act on these malicious lies.”
The legal action comes roughly a month after the parents of two slain children sued Jones for defamation. The new suit was filed in Bridgeport, Conn., by the parents of four children — Daniel Barden, Dylan Hockley, Ben Wheeler and Avielle Richman — as well as relatives of first-grade teacher Victoria Soto and school Principal Dawn Hochsprung.
