Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, had sued Gawker for $100 million, and cried as the verdict was announced.

Denton and Gawker seem to have anticipated that they’d lose the case, as they announced that they had already begun appealing the verdict.
Denton said: “Given key evidence and the most important witness were both improperly withheld from this jury, we all knew the appeals court will need to resolve the case. … That’s why we feel very positive about the appeal that we have already begun preparing, as we expect to win this case ultimately.
