Battling Hoaxers in Court, Sandy Hook Families Replay a Tragedy

The Times follows Lenny Pozner, the first Sandy Hook family member to take hoaxers to court, as he testifies in his Wisconsin defamation case against Jim Fetzer, producer of the book “Nobody Died at Sandy Hook,” and hands over Noah’s birth and death records and a DNA match to prove his son lived and died. The piece describes the emotional cost of what the Times calls “litigating the truth of a murder,” which Pozner’s pro bono legal team pursued while the families relived the worst day of their lives. It also follows the families’ parallel suits against Alex Jones in Connecticut and Texas, where an appeals court ruled that Pozner and Noah’s mother were not public figures.
