Sandy Hook victims’ relatives have given often emotional testimony describing how they endured death threats and other abuse by people calling the shooting a hoax.
WATERBURY, Conn. — A mother who lost one of her sons in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre testified Tuesday that her biggest fear is that people who believe the shooting was a hoax will harm her other son, who survived the attack at his school.
“I got sent pictures of dead kids, because I was told that as a crisis actor, I didn’t really know what a dead kid looked like, so this is what it should look like,” she said. He said it was “abominable” and “frightening” that the hoax lie was spread to millions of viewers of Jones’ Infowars show. Earlier in the trial, other relatives also gave often emotional testimony describing how they endured death or rape threats, in-person harassment and abusive comments on social media by people calling the shooting a hoax. Some moved to avoid the abuse.
