hey gawker dudes. what the fuck is wrong with you?

so if they pool their resources that's $120,973,000 good deal I say pay the man

I can't wait for the video of Denton repeatedly punching Daulerio in the neck to leak

Prosecutor: “Can you imagine a situation where someone should be punched in the neck?”
Daulerio: "Yes."
Prosecutor: "How many times should they be punched?"
Daulerio: "Four."

wait did they see Gawker or did they sue Nick Denton/Daulerio individually?

IIRC All three were named as separate entities

the article is still online lol

it's worth noting that 1) Daulerio double downed on his 4 year old comments (asked later if he would publish a sex video involving Miley Cyrus, Daulerio asks 'well is she older than 4 years old'?) and 2) to give you an idea of the level of sophistication in the jury, the jury asked Emma Carmichael if she had ever had sexual relations with denton/daulerio (implying that her rise to the editorship came through, uh, backdoors)

crying hulk hogan in the courtroom also a great contrast to https://twitter.com/hulkhogan/status/704613610170015744

the question to Carmichael was very o_O

Actually, it's about ethics in Hulkamania journalism.

to give you an idea of the level of sophistication in the jury, the jury asked Emma Carmichael if she had ever had sexual relations with denton/daulerio (implying that her rise to the editorship came through, uh, backdoors)

the jury is probably pooling together their pocket change so they can purchase Gawker after the judgment, and they're already on the look for scoops

if I were here I don't know if I could answer that with anything other than "whaaaaaaat?!?"

how is the jury asking questions to witnesses?

I am still appalled by that question.

I'm less appalled by the question than by the fact that the judge allowed it to be asked.

(NB It's still an appalling question.)

how is the jury asking questions to witnesses?

yeah since when is this a thing?

Juries can ask written questions via a judge in Florida iirc.

Bummer, I was imagining the jury yelling questions at the pre-recorded testimony like old people watching "Matlock" returns.

"Gawker Media’s gross revenues in 2015 were $48.7million"

Deadspin should start running regular wrestling news to curry favor with their future boss.

@TomKludt
Punitive damages breakdown in #hulkvsgawk
Gawker: $15 million

Denton: $10 million

Daulerio: $100,000

I want to start a gofundme to raise a 100 Grand for AJ, then buy him a candy bar and then pocket the rest

who is on the hook for the other $90 million

America.

I think this is in addition to the 115m

hooboy

fuck you, hulk hogan!!

lol flopson is so mad about this

it does sort of suck from a free press perspective, i wonder if this will hold up on appeal

how soon til Gawker site goes down 4ever is what I wanna know

Lol, the jury asked if they could make Daulerio do community service in addition to financial damages.

that joke went over really well

it does sort of suck from a free press perspective, i wonder if this will hold up on appeal

Does it? Hard to believe that even the most radical free speech/civil libertarian view includes "publishing private sex tapes without permission."

can the jury also make Terry give all of the money to Nick Hogan's stunt driving victim?

hope when they appeal they just add on another hundred million as a joke.

so apparently gawker has made nick denton a $3.6 millionaire

after this ruling it looks like he's back to being a thousandaire

i mean, in cold hard non-Gawker related assets

I really want to go back in time to 2002 to tell Nick Denton that this whole thing ends with him having to give ten million dollars of his own money to Hulk Hogan

hogan's lawyer looks like a cross between the former bruce jenner and donald trump

not sure I would have understood "that guy looks like a sex tape damages lawyer" before now

a remake of The Verdict where that guy is the Paul Newman character but he's playing Big Game Hunter at a Dave & Buster's

and he adds a box of nerds to his beer

they were always going to lose this jury trial based on the fact that the jurors are not jurists and are voting with their sense of what the morally right verdict is. but the first amendment is pretty robust, and while there are tensions between privacy and freedom of press i don't believe a case such as this is settled or clear-cut under u.s. law.

the gawker defence id imagine (didn't follow this that closely) is that this is "newsworthy" and about a public figure who has been open about his sex life in the media. but what does "newsworthy" mean? how do you define it legally?

don't really buy that this is problematic for a free press tho, like if on appeal the decision is something like "hey sex tapes of folks shouldn't be published without consent" then that's not really the most egregious restriction on press freedom is it?

/not a lawyer obviously

We'll find out when d-40 wakes up I guess

box of nerds in your beer you say? this is an interesting idea.

not to be confused with skittlebrau

I wonder what he looks like when he's not wearing another person's face like a mask.
