Alex Jones returns to stand for cross-examination by Sandy Hook lawyer – live

There was a particularly tense moment in the courtroom after the judge had left for the day. The moment was caught on video as the livestream of proceedings continued to broadcast.

Plaintiff Scarlett Lewis handed Alex Jones a bottle of water as he had been coughing throughout the afternoon. They shook hands and he tried to speak with Neil Heslin before attorney Wes Ball interjected.

Judge Maya Guerra Gamble came down heavily on conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on Tuesday for not telling the truth in the trial despite being under oath.

The judge was scolding Jones for telling the jury that he complied with the pretrial evidence gathering despite not complying and that he is bankrupt which has not been proven.

“Mr Jones, you may not say to this jury that you complied with the discovery. That is not true. You may not tell this jury you are bankrupt. That is also not true. You may have filed for bankruptcy… that doesn’t make a person or a company bankrupt,” the judge said.

She added: “This is not your show!”

“You’re already under oath to tell the truth. You’ve already violated that oath twice today… It seems absurd to instruct you again that you must tell the truth… Yet here I am. You must tell the truth while you testify,” Judge Gamble told the InfoWars founder.

This occurred after the judge sent the jury out of the room.

Plaintiff’s attorneys were unhappy about Jones claiming that he is bankrupt as they worry will taint a jury decision about damages.

The mother of a six-year-old boy murdered in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting has testified in the Alex Jones defamation case, and spoke directly to the right-wing Infowars host about the devastating impact of his conspiratorial claims.

Scarlett Lewis and Neil Heslin, the parents of Jesse Lewis, are suing Jones and his company Free Speech Media for $150m over the harassment they say they suffered after the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.

Alex Jones tried to promote his supplement business as he took the stand in his $150m Sandy Hook defamation trial.

The conspiracy theorist boasted about the quality of the vitamins sold on his conspiracy theory site Infowars in an extended rant to a jury who are deciding how much he must pay in damages to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, who lost their six-year-old son Jesse Lewis in the 2012 school shooting that claimed the lives of 20 children and six adults.

Alex Jones has said that he never meant to “intentionally hurt” the family of a boy killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting as he took the stand at his defamation trial on Tuesday, 2 August.

“I never intentionally tried to hurt you. I never even said your name until this case came to court… I question every big event,” Mr Jones said.

Mr Jones is testifying to defend himself against claims that he must pay the parents of the children killed in the shooting for calling the massacre a hoax.

The father of a 6-year-old killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting said Tuesday that it was “cowardly” of Alex Jones to skip hearing his testimony in person about how Jones’ claims that the massacre was a hoax deeply affected his family.

“What was said about me and Sandy Hook itself resonates around the world,” Neil Heslin testified Tuesday. “As time went on I truly realised how dangerous it was … My life has been threatened. I fear for my life, I fear for my safety.”
