Hulk Hogan's net worth has just skyrocketed as he was awarded $115 million in damages on Friday, March 18, by a Florida jury in an invasion of privacy case against Gawker.com over its publication of a graphic sex tape. Hogan claimed that the tape, showing him being intimate with his best friend Bubba The Love Sponge Clem's then-wife, Heather Clem, was secretly recorded.

"We're exceptionally happy with the verdict," the 62-year-old retired wrestler's legal team previously said in a statement to PEOPLE. "We think it represents a statement as to the public's disgust with the invasion of privacy disguised as journalism. The verdict says no more."

Variety reports that the jury found that Terry Gene Bollea a.k.a Hulk Hogan, had suffered "severe

    W. R. Reilly Case

    Ladies and Gentleman of the jury, W.R. Grace and Beatrice foods have polluted the aquifer located under East Woburn. There is no question of this, as testimony from workers such as Al Love show that they have spilled, poured and dumped TCE, or Trichloroethylene. Mr. Reilly testified that he should have known what was happening on the 15 acres of property he leased out to the Whitney barrel company. By dumping TCE and other chemicals onto the ground, these companies introduced these harmful substances into the environment, particularly the aquifer underneath. These chemicals are not industrial revolution chemicals; they are modern, harmful chemicals that have adverse health affects.…

Turner originally faced 14 years and jail but got 6 months instead. He was later released 3 months earlier than his 6-month sentence because of good behavior.

    The Brock-Turner Court Case

    As you may know there are many people enraged about the decision that was made with the case of Brock Turner. Riots and other violent methods have been used to get certain points across; and I believe the best way to appropriately get points across with you is writing a letter. There have been accusations made claiming it was a case of male and class privilege. Was the six-month confinement in a county jail and three years of probation enough for the crime that Brock Turner committed? I understand that sanctions vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, but sexual assault is something to be taken very seriously no matter the outcome of the situation, in this situation hurting the athlete’s reputation…

Jerry Sandusky, an assistant football coach at Penn State University, has been accused of sexually abusing boys in the basement of his home and in the school workout room and locker room.

Jerry Sandusky met the boys though a foundation he started to help at-risk youths in 1977 called The Second Mile. So far there have been eight boys who have come forward to report sexual abuse by Jerry over the 15 years that this program has been running. The mother of one of the victimized boys was suspicious when the encounters of the coach and her son became very frequent and started to become sleepovers. At this point, the boy was doing all he could to avoid Sandusky and even telling his mother to tell the coach he was not home when he called. The victim’s mother became worried and contacted school officials but was told by the official to rethink the situation before reporting anything because of the coach’s strong reputation. She then went to the county Children and Youth Services where enough information was gathered to start a criminal investigation.…

    The Pros And Cons Of Brock Turner's Misuse Of Power

    As part of human nature, power has a tendency to take over people, and with no regard to others, many of the individuals in major authority positions such as prison guards, police officers, and even judges manipulate that power for their mindful benefits. Such benefits are probably not affecting them on a personal level, although they do contribute to the support of their own race, gender, and social status’ group. This corruption has developed into the working society giving support and extra benefits to just a specific party. In fact, as an expanding country with various religions, ethnic groups, and the freedom to express your thoughts out to the world, we, as a country, should not discriminate anyone because they hold a different label…

    Criminal Justice System Flawed Essay

    On June 12th, 1994, O.J. Simpson was charged with the murders of his ex wife, Nicole Brown and her Partner, Ronald Goodman. During his trial Nicole’s sister had came forward and said O.J. had abused her sister several times during their relationship. O.J. Simpson’s legal defense team ( who were also known as the dream team) portrayed Simpson as a loving, caring, family man. A witness for the prosecution said he sold O.J. a knife a week before that looked exactly like the murder weapon. O.J. Simpson was found as innocent due to lack of evidence. Months after his release he wrote a book called If I Did It which is a hypothetical confession about the murders. This proves that our justice system is flawed because there is no way that Simpson was innocent. If they could have gathered more evidence, he would not have been a free man.…
