without a trial last year after he failed to turn over documents to the families' lawyers.

And some families have moved out of Newtown to avoid harassment. They accuse Jones of causing them emotional and psychological harm. Jones now says he believes the shooting was real. At the Texas trial, he testified that he realizes what he said was irresponsible, did hurt people’s feelings and he apologized.
