Gawker Media has started the appeal process following their loss to Hulk Hogan over a sex tape. The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Gawker began filing motions to cut or undo the $140 million judgment awarded to Hogan. Two motions were filed on Monday.
Gawker released the following statement regarding the appeal: “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.”
