A third party forensic investigation of Gawker’s computers has been approved. There will be an in-depth search of their offices to discover whether the company had illegally leaked transcripts of the Hulk Hogan sex tapes to the National Enquirer and RadarOnline, which led to Hogan’s WWE firing.
According to F4WOnline, Gawker could lose the equivalent of a summary judgment if they were found to be behind the leak, which would be the best case scenario for Hogan, as it would avoid having to go through a highly public and embarrassing trial.
Hogan was so happy with these proceedings he exclaimed that “It’s a beautiful day,” as he left the courtroom. Prior to the forensic investigation being approved, fifteen separate documents were sealed in the interest of Hogan’s privacy.
These developments are clearly not in Gawker’s favor and they vented their frustration over the judge’s decision to keep most of the lawsuit’s confidential records sealed in an official statement afterwards:
“Given the obvious public interest in this case, it is truly unfortunate that a large number of records remain hidden, and that the public is prevented from seeing both sides’ arguments and the basis for many of the court’s most significant rulings, The public should be able to know what happens in its court system.?”
