BRIDGEPORT (AP)— Infowars host Alex Jones, who is being sued for calling the Sandy Hook School shooting a hoax, may face a Waterbury jury.

Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis on February 14 told the lawyers for Jones and the parents of the Sandy Hook School victims that she has recommended the case be moved to the “complex litigation docket” at Connecticut Superior Court in Waterbury, where she will be presiding, beginning September 1.

Jones’ lawyer, Jay Wolman, who previously asked the judge to move the case out of the area, contending his client cannot get a fair trial here, said later that the move of the case to Waterbury could make his request moot.

Jones is being sued by the parents and family of some of the first graders and school staff members who were killed in a mass shooting in December 2012 by a gunman. On his show, Jones claimed the shooting was staged by paid actors who faked the children’s deaths.

On February 13, Bellis ruled that the lawyers for the families can take depositions, or recorded out-of-court interviews with Jones, in the preparation of their case.

Attorney Christopher Mattei, who represents the Sandy Hook families, told the judge on February 14 that he expects the deposition to take place at the end of March.

Wolman told the judge he wants a protective order sealing any documents they are required to turn over to the plaintiffs’ lawyers.
