You make an excellent point here. I didn't realize that all this time, AJ was mocking the court and Hogan because he believed Hogan was too poor to access justice and because he thought Gawker was therefore above the law. I guess I'm just not able to understand people who joke about publishing child rape videos. So you're right, I did give AJ too much credit here. You're right to point out that his straight-faced joke was meant to show contempt both for the justice system and anyone too poor to access it. A contempt he paid quite dearly for in the judgement.
