After a two-week trial, a jury in Texas has ruled that conspiracy theorist Alex Jones must pay A$5.9 million for claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook school shooting was a hoax.

Source:US conspiracy theorist Alex Jones should pay the parents of a child killed in the 2012 Sandy Hook massacre at least $US4.1 million for falsely claiming the shooting was a hoax, a Texas jury has ruled.

During closing arguments on Wednesday, their lawyer Kyle Farrar urged jurors to end what he called their nightmare and hold Mr Jones accountable for profiting off their son's death. He later acknowledged that the shooting took place and sought to distance himself from previous falsehoods during the trial, telling jurors it was "crazy" of him to repeatedly make the claim that the shooting was a hoax.He said that the shooting was "100 per cent real".

In the second phase of the damages trial, both sides will present arguments on Mr Jones' net worth. A finance expert is set to testify for the parents. Mr Jones is expected to return to the stand. The parents' lawyer also accused Jones of approaching the trial in bad faith, citing broadcasts where Jones said the trial was rigged against him and that the jury pool was full of people who "don't know what planet they're on."
