Conspiracy Theorist Mock Trial

Mr. Gordon's eighth-grade history students are currently staging a mock trial, where Miles De La Torre is playing the role of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. The students are learning about the elements of the First Amendment, libel, and free speech.

Jones made the claim that the Sandy Hook shooting was a hoax. He claimed that the parents were crisis actors. The parents of one of the victims are currently suing him. We're using some of the actual evidence and documents submitted to the court in his real libel case, courtesy of a website called First Amendment Watch
