A defiant Alex Jones showed up at a Connecticut courthouse Tuesday declaring his innocence despite already being found liable for spreading the lie that the 2012 Sandy Hook school massacre was a hoax.

A jury seated about 32 kilometres from Sandy Hook in Waterbury Superior Court has been hearing evidence for a week to determine how much Jones must pay the families of eight victims and an FBI agent who was among the first to respond to the shooting that took the lives of 20 first graders and six educators.

"This is a travesty of justice and this judge is a tyrant," Jones said outside the courthouse. "This judge is ordering me to say that I'm guilty and to say that I'm a liar. None of that is true. I was not wrong about Sandy Hook on purpose. I questioned it.

The judge "has now ordered me to not say I'm not innocent and ordered me to say that I have not profited from Sandy Hook," Jones said Tuesday. "That's ordering me to perjure myself. I will not perjure myself under the order of a judge." The plaintiffs say Jones' promotion of the hoax lie on his Infowars show led to the families being threatened and harassed by deniers of the shooting. They say they've endured death threats and in-person harassment, video recording by strangers and abusive comments on social media. Some families moved out of Newtown to avoid the harassment.
