John Graziano Update: The 911 Tapes
This is big news nationally and massive news here in Clearwater. In fact, the headlines on this side of the Bay have been more sensational lately than the ones in Tampa.
Today, the Pinellas County 911 center released the recordings related to the car crash on in Clearwater August 26 that involved Nick Bollea (the son of Hulk Hogan) and John Graziano (who is still in critical condition and may possibly remain unresponsive or in a vegetative state for the rest of his life).
Bay News 9 obtained the recordings from Pinellas County and you can hear them on the St. Petersburg Times website.
The most telling piece of information to come from the tapes is that two of the callers say that they witnessed the car participating in a drag race. That is out of the six calls I listened to on this recording. The last caller says three times that they were drag racing, even identifying the lanes both cars were using and that the other car continued in the direction Tampa (though I assume he stayed in Pinellas County, as the driver lives in Dunedin).
Of course, the police have been aware of the witnesses reports since the night of the car crash. I think most of us can see more clearly now how serious this issue really is and how amazing it is that the Graziano has not yet filed a suit.
Ironically, I drive right past the location this morning after a dermatologist appointment.
