Testimony to start in civil lawsuit against Alex Jones, who falsely said Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — A Texas jury will hear the first testimony Tuesday in a civil lawsuit to decide how much Infowars host and conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay Sandy Hook Elementary School parents for falsely telling his audience that the deadliest classroom shooting in U.S. history was a hoax.

At stake for Jones is a potentially major financial blow that could put his constellation of conspiracy peddling businesses into deeper jeopardy. He has already been banned from YouTube, Facebook and Spotify over violating hate-speech policies.

The trial involving the parents of two Sandy Hook families is only the start for Jones. Damages have yet to be awarded in separate defamation cases for other families of the 2012 massacre in Newtown, Connecticut.

Alex's lawyer is SO BAD, and the judge is clearly frustrated with his incompetence.

I also suggest following Jordan Holmes' live tweeting from inside the courtroom at https://twitter.com/gotobedjordan
