I went back and updated the thread from yesterday just a minute ago. Go check it out if you want a recap on those events. Sorry that I fell behind, and actually, I’m behind today as well, but that’s life. I still think we have a pretty good record of the trial here on the site for anyone who wants to go back and catch-up.
Here’s the stream for this afternoon (it’s over now lol)…
A list of questions, read yesterday by Gawker's lawyer, that the defense would have posed to Bubba Clem #hulkvsgawk https://t.co/NvD2mPcNAZ

Waiting for trial to get under way today. Gawker will play a portion of Hogan's deposition. Closing arguments will follow. #hulkvsgawk

NYT's #hulkvsgawk guide is a bit off. Trial isn't in Clearwater. Courthouse isn't blocks from the ocean. https://t.co/wzQI1zr8bs

Another long bench conference out of earshot of the public & press. This has become the norm in this trial. #hulkvsgawk

Judge says she's going to allow Gawker to show Hogan's deposition, then send the jury home. No closings today. #hulkvsgawk
— Anna Phillips (@annamphillips) March 17, 2016
Judge informs the jury Bubba the Love Sponge Clem will not be testifying. Tells them he was "unavailable." #hulkvsgawk

We're now watching a deposition with Hogan, recorded two years ago this month #hulkvsgawk

How's Hogan different from Terry Bollea?
Hogan "is the all American hero…and it’s different than the person, Terry Bollea.” #hulkvsgawk— Anna Phillips (@annamphillips) March 17, 2016
#hulkvsgawk the testimony involved a video of @HulkHogan on a wrecking ball wearing a thong. Well, my day is complete 🙁 @WFLA
— Jeff Patterson (@WFLAJeff) March 17, 2016
Hogan: "It was kind of embarrassing, but I had only 3 people in the room w me when I sat on the wrecking ball with a tea bag on" #hulkvsgawk
— Anna Phillips (@annamphillips) March 17, 2016
Hogan is asked abt his interactions w Heather Clem.
“If I’ve seen her at the radio station, I don’t remember”#hulkvsgawk— Anna Phillips (@annamphillips) March 17, 2016
According to Heather Clem, they had sex at the radio station… #hulkvsgawk
— Anna Phillips (@annamphillips) March 17, 2016
Hogan says Bubba blamed the bedroom camera on Heather Cole #hulkvsgawk
— Tom Kludt (@TomKludt) March 17, 2016
Gawker love making false equivalencies. You might as well bring up video of him wearing undies when wrestling. #hulkvsgawk

Hogan: "Being in character as Hulk Hogan, I thought we were doing a skit, a comedy routine" he says. #hulkvsgawk
— Anna Phillips (@annamphillips) March 17, 2016
Did Hogan ever ask TMZ not to report on the sex tape, or try to shape TMZ's coverage? "I don't recall," Hogan says. #hulkvsgawk

Jury is being dismissed for the day as court considers a long list of exhibits submitted by Gawker. Closing arguments will wait #hulkvsgawk
— Tom Kludt (@TomKludt) March 17, 2016
Did you know there's actually legal precedent in #hulkvsgawk that Hulk Hogan and Terry Bollea are different people? https://t.co/yXyvIws6wt

Appeals court orders docs to be unsealed. Hogan says, don’t release yet. Media orgs say, release now. https://t.co/GilDOF1rf6 #hulkvsgawk

Hogan's attorneys have filed a motion to review Gawker's live feed of the trial #hulkvsgawk
— Tom Kludt (@TomKludt) March 17, 2016
Who was it that tweeted the screenshot of a banner ad on the Gawker page embedding the stream? Hogan lawyers not following #hulkvsgawk tag?
— David Bixenspan (@davidbix) March 17, 2016
Mia Libby had said she didn't think there were ads on Gawker's live feed of the trial. Judge grants Hogan's motion. #hulkvsgawk
— Tom Kludt (@TomKludt) March 17, 2016
Libby said she didn't think there were ads on live stream. There were. Hogan's side says they might use this in punitive phase. #hulkvsgawk
