Hulk Hogan's son gets 8 months in jail[views:2758][posts:23]_______________________________ [May 9,2008 7:05pm - zyklon ""] CLEARWATER, Florida. The son of wrestler and reality TV star Hulk Hogan was sentenced to eight months in jail on Friday for causing a car crash that seriously injured his passenger. Nick Bollea, 17, pleaded no contest to a charge of reckless driving with serious bodily harm before he was sentenced by Pinellas County Judge Phillip Federico. Bollea crashed his car into a tree in Clearwater, Florida, on August 26 last year. Police said he was speeding and racing another car. Bollea's passenger and friend, John Graziano, 22, suffered severe head injuries and remains in a semiconscious state in a hospital. "I think there has to be some punishment," Federico said at the hearing. He also sentenced Bollea to five years probation and 500 hours of community service and suspended his driver's license for three years. Graziano's parents asked that Bollea be sentenced to some jail time. They said their son would need medical care for the rest of his life and are suing Hogan and Bollea for millions of dollars in damages. Hogan, whose real name is Terry Bollea, defended his son. "Nick is a good person. He's kind, gentle and compassionate," he told the judge. Nick Bollea apologized to Graziano's family and his own. "I pray for John every day. I'm terribly sorry," he said. |

| _____________________________________ [May 9,2008 8:09pm - Joshtruction ""] His friend knew what he was getting into so it's not all his fault. I myself and a majority of the people I hang out with street race some real serious cars. We try to make it as safe as possible, but on the road or track it is easy to be seriously hurt or die. Jumping into a 900 horse car with a lead footed teenager that has been racing in drifting circuits and attending performance driving schools heading out to the local street racing spot in clearwater... you know what you are getting your self into. Sure it is still his fault, but it not all his fault. His buddy could have spoke up and told him he is nuts, instead he was probably cheering him on. I think 8 months is no big deal to a kid like him, but take that drivers license away for 5 years and that will hurt him more. I am sure his guilt/millions of dollars/parents getting a divorce over the whole deal is enough to make him smarten up. Jail time and license suspension should teach him a lesson. I feel bad for hogan... he is a great guy and really tries to push his kids to be the best they can be. Them little fuckers take it all for granted though. |

| ______________________________ [May 9,2008 8:22pm - Pires ""] i know of 2 kids out of 4 that died in a street race. they all were asking the driver to stop and he didn't. the driver's in jail for 12 years, one got seriously injured, and 2 are dead. your theory is shit. |

Probably weaving in and out of traffic trying to have a top end race? The driver should have died in this particular case regardless. Thats just not cool. |

| ____________________________________ [May 9,2008 8:36pm - Sacreligion ""] it was more the snow's fault than the half a 30 rack |

| _____________________________________ [May 9,2008 9:00pm - the_reverend ""] recipe for disaster right there. you dont know if the kid was asking young hogan to stop. there are accidents and then there are on purposes. the hulklite should go away until the kid is ok. and wtf will suspending his license hurt? he can hire a driver AND still drive like an idiot on a private track. what a sweet life. |
