On January 17, a Florida appellate court issued its opinion (which is not yet finalized, as of this writing) in Gawker Media, LLC v. Bollea.

In writing about this case, I will focus on its First Amendment aspects, and not on its somewhat less interesting collateral estoppel and injunctions aspects. -
