How are we not talking about the Hogan trial rn?

Because then we'd have to think about him being naked with Mrs Love Sponge and nobody wants that.

I saw some funny tweets about it. They were funny. If you wanna make this an official "Hogan V Gawker Tweets" thread, I'll talk about it here.

CNN reporter Tom Kludt has been covering the Hulk Hogan/Gawker trial and here are some highlights:

We're back in session here. Hogan now approaching the stand once again. Round 2 of Gawker's cross-examination about to begin. #hulkvsgawk

“Having Hulk Hogan’s rear end up there, I didn’t think that was invasive of Terry Bollea's privacy.” #hulkvsgawk

When Hogan discussed his thong-induced tan line on TMZ, he says that too was an extension of his character. #hulkvsgawk

Hulk Hogan said he didn't have a problem with TMZ reporter Mike Walters writing an article about the sex tape in March 2012 #hulkvsgawk

That's similar to what Hogan's attorneys have said: that Gawker could have covered it without showing the footage #hulkvsgawk

Defense showing a clip of Hogan's interview on Howard Stern in which Stern says Hogan looks "like a God" on the tape. #hulkvsgawk

Hogan says he doesn't recall telling publicist to approach Stern about keeping the sex tape off limits in interview #hulkvsgawk

Hogan says he was candid about sexual encounter with Heather Clem during appearance on Howard Stern just to make it through intv #hulkvsgawk

“The person sitting here under oath is Terry Bollea and I don’t lie under oath.” #hulkvsgawk

Gawker attorney trying his best to get Hogan on the same page regarding the chronology.
Lawyer: "Are you with me?"
Hogan: "I'm trying."

Hogan says Gawker's publication of sex tape excerpts changed him forever: "This is still tearing me up." #hulkvsgawk

Attorney asks Hogan if he was concerned that press conference would draw more attention to Gawker's post. No, Hogan says. #hulkvsgawk

Hogan says he never saw a psychiatrist in connection with the emotional distress stemming from the tape. #hulkvsgawk

Hulk Hogan is not so good with dates. He should probably take some memory-enhancing vitamins. #hulkvsgawk

We're listening to Bubba's October 2006 interview with Hogan (aka Hootie) #hulkvsgawk

In the clip, Hogan apparently told listeners that he would reveal penis length if they kept daughter's album at no. 1 #hulkvsgawk

Hogan: "I do not have a 10 inch penis....Terry Bollea's penis is not 10 inches." Draws snickers, including from the Gawker camp. #hulkvsgawk

[ClockShot]

The Erin Andrews trial got more attention than this.

That's why we ain't talking about it, BROTHER!

[#1-norm-fan]

From his Stern interviews alone, it definitely seems like Hogan knew he was being filmed. The man is a dirty liar.

[#1-norm-fan]

The Erin Andrews trial got more attention than this.

That's why we ain't talking about it, BROTHER!

To be fair, the Erin Andrews tape was WAY hotter.

But that's just one man's opinion.

He deserves the repercussions but at the end of the day he was just being a big dumb dad upset with his daughter's romantic choices. I've heard better people say worse things. Didn't mean they MEANT it. He was also recorded without his consent.

At the end of the day though, he surrounded himself with poisonous people and said poisonous things. These things have a way to come back and bite you in the ass.

[Emperor Smeat]

Big update in regards to Hogan vs Gawker trial and things going against Hogan's side at the moment. The biggest being files concerning some potential shady stuff done by Hogan's side no longer allowed to be sealed or off-limits for the trial.

Two big developments in the Hulk Hogan vs. Gawker case today, one of which has little to do with the ongoing trial. When the lunch break ended, Hogan, his legal team, and Judge Pamela Campbell all looked shellshocked. Why? An appellate court overturned Campbell’s ruling keeping a large number of documents filed in the case sealed. This includes a number of pleadings and exhibits, but most significantly everything having to do with the FBI, U.S. Attorney’s Office, and grand jury investigations into Hogan being extorted with the sex videos.

There’s been a lot of speculation as to what’s in there that Hogan doesn’t want out, as all of the damaging information on the sex tapes themselves have gone public. Obviously, the most damaging thing would be proof that Hogan knew he was being recorded, but otherwise it’s really hard to put your finger on what he’s hiding.

It continued to be a bad day for Hogan when Gawker played the video of Heather Cole’s deposition. While she did lie either here or to the Tampa Police about if she knew she was being recorded (something not brought up at trial as of yet), she came off completely devastated by whatever happened in her marriage to Bubba Clem and the whole sex tape ordeal. It reflected badly on both Bubba and Hogan in a number of ways, to the point she may have been Gawker’s best testimony so far, but she also still maintained Hogan didn’t know he was being filmed.

Depends how much the judge awards I'd guess. No way is Hogan getting the full 100m.

I did read that to appeal in Florida, you have to have the full amount of the award in escrow, so if they can't afford that, they can't appeal.

Pretty much, they said they can't pay and they'd be done.

I don't know the details surrounding the judge's decision to not allow Bubba's testimony. That being said, based on the info we have, I don't see why Gawker would feel confident of this being over turned on appeal due to Bubba's testimony being deemed inadmissible.

Admission of evidence and testimony is decided at the discretion of the trial judge. Unless the judge abused his discretion when deciding not to allow Bubba's testimony, Gawker won't win on appeal because of it. An appellate court will evaluate whether the trial judge’s decision was arbitrary, fanciful, or unreasonable. If reasonable people could differ regarding whether it was proper or not for the judge to decide to not allow Bubba's testimony, then the judge was not unreasonable and there can be no finding of an abuse of discretion.

The judge likely disallowed Bubba's testimony because it would amount (although not literally of course) to putting Bubba on trial. The jury would spend too much time arguing over whether Bubba was credible and not on whether Gawker was guilty of public disclosure of private facts.

In addition, whether Hogan did or didn't know about the tape when it was recorded is irrelevant. If Hogan was aware he was being recorded and it even occurred to him that it might leak, that doesn't mean Hogan intended for the tape to be disclosed publicly or distributed on the internet.

It seems like the only defense Gawker had in this case, that there was public interest in the sex tape, the jury didn't buy. Hogan had to prove that there was:

a public disclosure (internet obviously)
of private facts (the sex occurred at a private residence indoors)
lack of public interest (maybe there was public interest in the existence of the tape and Hogan's comments but NOT the sexual content of the tape itself)
and the disclosure would be objectionable to a reasonable person in Hogan's position

[DAMN iNATOR]

Why would this Bubba person testify in court to something completely different than what he told the FBI? Isn't his testimony in court considered perjury, and furthermore, if he perjured himself in court, how does he have any shred of credibility left? This whole thing should be done, IMHO.

[Emperor Smeat]

Wouldn't be just Bubba's testimonial but include other evidence like recently unsealed files the judge didn't allow Gawker to use for the trial.

Observer hinted the unsealed files alone are pretty damaging for Hogan's side since it might prove stuff Gawker was trying to argue in their trial or even tie into rumored claims of Hogan's side interfering with investigations and/or possible bribes to make things harder for Gawker.

But when they talked about appealing, they purely talked about Bubba being a witness in court. Since he's already lied at least once, it's fucking hilarious that Gawker would hang their head there.

[BigCrippyZ]

Wouldn't be just Bubba's testimonial but include other evidence like recently unsealed files the judge didn't allow Gawker to use for the trial.


It likely won't matter. If the judge had any remotely legitimate reason (as long as the reason wasn't strictly prejudicial) for suppressing any evidence he chose to suppress, this decision won't be reversed based on any evidence that wasn't allowed to be presented, including testimony.

The judge likely felt the evidence he suppressed, if presented, would've been too prejudicial and/or confusing for the jury and would've gotten the trial and jury off into the weeds, so to speak. Any evidence the judge reasonably felt would've distracted, delayed or prevented the jury from dealing with whether or not Gawker was guilty and liable for publicly disclosing the private recordings, should've been suppressed.

His deposition testimony was for the civil lawsuit and any info he disclosed to the FBI would've been for a criminal investigation. His testimony is irrelevant in this case anyway. Even if it is true that Hogan knew he was being recorded and even contemplated the possibility of it leaking, that in itself does not prove that Hogan intended to make it public nor remove Gawker's liability of making it public. As long as there's no evidence that Hogan himself planned to or actually did leak the tape to Gawker for Gawker to distribute online, then Hogan's knowledge of the recording is irrelevant.

Hopefully that's enough money to buy him a robotic back and any other robotic body parts that will allow him to wrestle for 20 more years. Wrestling is dying. We need a hero.

Age of Hulkatron...I'd watch wrestling again for that.

Hogan got another $25 million as punitive damages to go along with the $115 million from the first verdict.
According to reports, of the additional $25 million: $10 million will be owed by Gawker founder Nick Denton, its former editor A.J. Daulerio owes $100,000, and Gawker as a company owes the remaining $15 million
http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheats/2016/03/21/jury-gawker-owes-hogan-m-in-punitive-damages.html


Also based on some reports and legal experts speculations, Gawker is currently expected to win the appeal trial if they can cough up the money needed by Florida law for it to happen. At the moment, they are getting very close to reaching their limit on what they can cover for the appeal.


Also according to reports, Hogan is set to get around $70 million should the current $140 million award stay in tact. Turns out Hogan owes a lot of money because of the trial.
Many are speculating that because of further litigation, and the many pay outs to different parties such as the lawyers, Hogan will receive approximately half or 70 million.

Hogan's lawyers will likely receive about 30%-35% of the damages Hogan receives, potentially more but 30% is pretty typical.
