Gawker’s Nick Denton Slams Hulk Hogan Jury Verdict

Gawker: The decision by a Florida jury to grant $140 million in damages for a story on Gawker was extraordinary, writes founder Nick Denton. “The enormous size of the verdict is chilling to Gawker Media and other publishers with a tabloid streak, but it is also a flag to higher courts that this case went wildly off the rails. Emotion was permitted to trump the law.”
