Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has agreed to appear at a deposition in Connecticut to answer questions in a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims.

HARTFORD, Conn. -- Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones has agreed to appear at a deposition in Connecticut to answer questions in a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims, his lawyers said Thursday, a day after a judge ordered fines against Jones for defying orders to attend a deposition last week despite his claim of illness.

Jones will sit for a deposition April 11 and is asking the judge to put a hold on the daily fines, according to new court filings by his attorney, Norman Pattis. The fines begin at $25,000 on Friday and increase by $25,000 each weekday he does not appear for questioning.

1. I guess he's terrified the lawyers will make him admit he's the fraud. After

all these years of accusing everyone else of being one.

2. The Judge Better Not Buy That BS

Tell him that the fines will accrue, and if he fails to appear on April 11, they'll stand.

3. This nt

7. Right!! Otherwise, he will have some sort of illness, accident, or other

excuse.

11. Fake heart attack on April 10th.

4. The judge already said the fines would be wiped away if he sits for two full days of depositions

so there is absolutely no reason to refrain from imposing the daily fines based on his promise to appear on the 11th. Keep the threat active and growing until he complies, or he's going to fuck around some more.

5. Keep the fines in place and if he doesn't show up or pisses around

then up it to $100,000 per day and jail.

6. Fines were levied b/c he failed to show up..

Like he’s supposed to. Now, he wants special circumstances and he’ll show up. Nope. These people think the law is for everyone but them b/c there’s no teeth in these judgements. It’s disrespectful to the families, the court and the law.

8. He is probably hoping that he can settle with the families by the 11th.

If I were one of the plaintiffs, there would not be enough money to settle. I would want him on the stand admitting what a lying bastard that he is.

9. Too late turd ball.

Pay up and speak up.

10. LOL. "will sit for a deposition April 11" when he will have another "illness." LOL

Unless one's liberty is taken away, all of these delays, "fines" that will either never be collected or be just considered 'the cost of doing business,' endless appeals and frivolous counter-suits are a mockery of what we laughingly call a "justice system."
