WATERBURY, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut jury has yet to reach a verdict after its first full day of deliberations in conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ defamation trial over his calling the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting a hoax. Jurors worked Friday to decide how much in damages Jones and his company Free Speech Systems should pay to eight victims’ relatives and to an FBI agent who responded to the shooting. Jones was found liable for damages last year. The plaintiffs testified they have been harassed by people who believe one of the deadliest school shootings in U.S. history was a hoax. Jones has bashed the trial as a “kangaroo court.”
