Sandy Hook families seek Alex Jones arrest after 2nd no-show

Relatives of some victims of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting are asking a Connecticut judge to order the arrest of Infowars host Alex Jones for missing a court-ordered deposition this week.

Lawyers for relatives of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims asked a Connecticut judge again Friday to order the arrest of Infowars host Alex Jones, after he defied a court order to attend a deposition as part of a lawsuit over his calling the massacre a hoax.

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.

She rejected a similar motion by the families' lawyer seeking an arrest order after Jones failed to appear Wednesday.

He said the families' lawyers had delayed depositions in the case several times and he didn't complain.

Jones also was found liable for damages in similar lawsuits filed in Texas by relatives of Sandy Hook victims, and also faces trial later this year. »
