More bad news today for Gawker in the privacy invasion suit by wrestler Hulk Hogan; in addition to the $115 million compensatory damages awarded three days ago, the Florida jury has now awarded another $25 million in punitive damages, $10 million of which is owed personally by Gawker’s owner Nick Denton.
Denton said immediately after the first judgment that he plans to appeal this ruling, of course.
