"Nobody should ever have to endure the kind of harassment and persecution that Alex Jones caused, especially the families of those killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School," he said in a statement. Jones testified he believed at the time that the shooting might have been staged, but he has since said he now believes it's real. "Candidly, from start to finish, the fix was in this case," Pattis said outside the courthouse. The plaintiffs, relatives of victims and an FBI agent who responded to the scene testified that they were tormented by Jones' followers who believed his lies about the massacre.
