SIDENOTE: Putting his former best friend in a lifetimes worth of medical care only grant him 8 freaking months in prison! So much for a potential 5 years sentence.

CLEARWATER, Fla. - A judge in Florida says the 17-year-old son of wrestler Hulk Hogan should serve eight months in jail for reckless driving. Nick Bollea was led off to begin his sentence immediately after Friday's ruling. He will be on five years' probation and lose his driving privileges for three years.

Authorities say Bollea was racing a friend in his father's sports car when he clipped a curb, spun out of control and slammed into a palm tree in downtown Clearwater, Florida, last August.

The impact left his friend critically injured and in need of lifetime medical care.

Bollea pleaded no contest to the reckless driving charge.

You're fuckin kidding me!

Seems like a pretty messed up family. Hopefully MTV recorded all this!

here comes the angry mob with torches and pitchforks...

an 8 month sentence is pretty substantial for a reckless driving charge...I know the other guy was terribly injured but he wasn't wearing a seatbelt so his injuries are attributed to his own negligence as well...Nick is a dumbass and his friend was also a dumbass and a willing participant in what was going on...
I feel pretty confident that if Nick had been the injured passenger and the other guy was the driver, then most would be saying that Nick was asking for it...

CLEARWATER, Florida (Reuters) - 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.

I guess the Judge was ric flair fan

I was hoping he got the full 5 years! I mean come on he did it well knowing it was illegal, hell his parents have even stated they knew that he did it and ENCOURAGED him to do it!

TWO WORDS: Borderline. Incest.

8 months is not long enough, when you consider all of the details of what happened.

I don't know the details, but was the other kid being held hostage against his will in Nicks car?
