Hulk Hogan vs Gawker II Begins

According to The Wall Street Journal, two motions were filed yesterday by Gawker Media to reduce or reverse the $140 million in damages awarded to WWE Hall of Famer Hulk Hogan.The report included the following statement from Gawker on the appeal process:

“Gawker is now beginning the process of challenging the jury’s verdict in a trial where key evidence was wrongly withheld and the jury was not properly instructed on the Constitutional standards for newsworthiness. So we expect to be fully vindicated. And even if the verdict were to stand, there is no justification for awarding tens of millions of dollars never seen by victims of death and serious injuries.”
