Owen Shroyer, another Infowars host, and an expert in journalistic ethics took the stand Friday in the fourth day of the Alex Jones defamation damages trial.
Today, the jury heard from InfoWars employees and an expert on journalistic ethics.A judge ruled months ago that Infowars founder Alex Jones defamed victims’ families by saying the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax.
In day four of his defamation damages trial, Owen Shroyer, another host on Infowars, took the stand. "Infowars’ mission is an open platform to tell the truth and also be an open platform for others to tell the truth or how they see things," he said. Jones' defense attorney F. Andino Reynal referred to an earlier exhibit, a video report with Megyn Kelly doing a 17-minute special report on Alex Jones and Infowars, which Jones' defense believes painted him in a negative light."The editing was done so that what Alex Jones said in the piece was not in linear fashion," said Shroyer.
Editing came up again in the cross-examination. "Do you see at all the irony of you sitting in that chair after the court found that what you did was defamatory and claim that Megyn Kelly clip was too edited?" said attorney Kyle Farrar.
