(St.Petersburg, Florida) - A jury on Friday awarded Hulk Hogan $115 million in his lawsuit against Gawker Media, agreeing the company violated his privacy by posting a sex tape of the ex-pro wrestler online. The two-week trial culminated with jurors deliberating for six hours. Hogan argued the publication violated his privacy, while Gawker argued he is a public figure and the post was protected by the First Amendment.
