Parents of a 6-year-old killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting described being put through a 'living hell' of death threats, harassment and ongoing trauma.
Fighting back tears and finally given the chance to confront conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, the parents of a 6-year-old killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting described being put through a"living hell" of death threats, harassment and ongoing trauma over the last decade caused by Jones using his media platforms to push claims that it was all a hoax.
"I am a mother first and foremost and I know you are a father. My son existed," Lewis said to Jones."I am not deep state... I know you know that... And yet you're going to leave this courthouse and say it again on your show.""No, I don't think you're an actor," Jones responded before the judge admonished him to be quiet until called to testify.
Heslin and Lewis both said they fear for their lives and have been confronted by strangers at home and on the street. Heslin said his home and car have been shot at. The jury heard a death threat sent via telephone message to another Sandy Hook family. "What was said about me and Sandy Hook itself resonates around the world," Heslin said."As time went on, I truly realized how dangerous it was."
Heslin told the jury about holding his son with a bullet hole through his head, even describing the extent of the damage to his son's body. A key segment of the case is a 2017 Infowars broadcast that said Heslin didn't hold his son.
