A dispute between Alex Jones' lawyers and the parents of a child who was killed at Sandy Hook Elementary School led to jurors being sent home early.
Mark Bankston, a lawyer for the parents, objected to the admission of a nine-minute segment of a Jones video, saying it was not appropriate for a trial on the size of the damage award.
The jury was dismissed so the video dispute could be argued.
Bankston had shown little clips of cherry-picked videos to the jury.

There were tempers Flared.
There was a written list of videos that had been submitted to the court, and it was believed that he and Bankston had agreed on admitting them.
Bankston didn't agree. He said that it was a list of videos. I didn't think they should be introduced.
The judge pointed out that several of the videos had not been introduced into evidence.
Bankston denied that he was being dishonest with the court, with the opposing lawyer repeating his denial.
The judge was so angry that he ordered Bankston and Reynal to work out an agreement on the videos so that he could make a decision before the jury is seated.
"If you are going to call other attorneys in my courtroom dishonest, you have to back that up," she added.
After the judge left the courtroom, another lawyer came in and said that negotiations would begin later in the night by phone.
The second day of the Sandy Hook trial ended in chaos.
