Life on Florida’s West Coast

Nick Bollea Expected to Change Plea

It’s coming up on nine months since Nick Bollea, son of wrestler Hulk Hogan (Terry Bollea) was a Toyota Supra on Court Street in Clearwater, Florida and lost control. He crashed into a palm tree in the median and his passenger, John Graziano, was grievously injured. He has been unresponsive and in the hospital since. He may never be able to care for himself again.

Multiple witnesses have come forward to say that Bollea was racing with Danny Jacobs. Both Bollea and Jacobs were charged.

Initially, Bollea pleaded not guilty to his charges of reckless driving with serious bodily injury. However, in a risky move, he is expected to make an open plea in court tomorrow during a 1: 30 p.m. pre-trial hearing Friday. Circuit Judge Philip Federico will then conduct a sentencing hearing.

Speculation is all over the map as to what sort of sentence Bollea will receive. He could get merely probation or as much as five years in prison.
