Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones was defiant and cited free speech rights during a deposition in April, as part of a lawsuit by relatives of some of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims who are suing Jones for calling the massacre a hoax, according to court documents released Thursday.

Jones also insisted he wasn't responsible for the suffering that Sandy Hook parents say they have endured because of the hoax conspiracy, including death threats and harassment by Jones' followers, according to partial transcripts of the deposition in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on April 5 and 6.
