Gawker founder nick denton says the company can win the case on appeal. I am confident we would win if we presented the full case.

If this verdict stands, gawker could be crippled and free press advocates could believe this would intimidate reporters in the future. Does gawker have a strong case for appeal . They will argue this is excessive. In a wrongful death case, you get 3 million to 5 million. They will argue this wasnt a case of privacy. They had other evidence not presented in the trial that suggested that hulk hogan knew about this from the start. That he was in on the sex tape. It wasnt something done to him, but something he did.

We are looking at spotty showers in virginia and West Virginia. Winds will increase. Southern new jersey. It stays through the southeast and marthas vineyard. I want to point out the models. European snowfall model has 2 to 4 inches across southeast with higher amounts through the mountains and american model has more snow, especially out near jamestown, pennsylvania. Look at washington, d. C. And northeast. That model is not saying much of anything. It is going to be one of those near misses which goes out to sea. I like that model. Dylan, thanks.
