Nick Hogan To Be Sprung From Jail Early
Nick Hogan finally has a reason to wake up in the morning … it is being reported that homeslice is going to get an early release from his 8 month jail sentence after earning credits for good behavior. You may recall that Nick Hogan (real name Nick Boella) was sentenced to serve 8 months in jail back in May after pleading “no contest” to the felony charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury (he was behind the wheel of a tragic car accident in August of last year that almost killed his former best friend John Graziano) … but it looks like Nick will only have to serve 5 months of his 8 month sentence:
Hulk Hogan’s son Nick Bollea is getting out of jail nearly three months early with credits for good behavior and working, PEOPLE has learned. Bollea, who has been serving an eight-month sentence at Pinellas County Jail in Clearwater, Fla., for reckless driving that led to an accident with injuries, is due to be released Oct. 21. The early release follows standard procedures for all inmates. “They automatically get credits towards early release, and if they don’t do anything bad while they’re here, they get to use the credits,” says a jail official who did not want to be identified. Bollea was sentenced for his role in a car accident last year in which his passenger, 22-year-old John Graziano, was seriously injured. Bollea’s sister, Brooke Hogan, tells PEOPLE that she is looking forward to her brother being released. “I’m not sure where he’ll live. I think he’s going to do his own thing,” said Hogan, who was attending the anniversary party for Strike Miami, a ritzy bowling alley in Miami. Graziano’s lawyer George Tragos of St. Petersburg, Fla., said he is not surprised to hear that Hogan is getting out early. “It’s standard procedure,” he tells PEOPLE. “There is no way for us to impact his release date, that’s not within our control. It’s a formula worked out by the sheriff.”
While I realize that this is “standard procedure” for all inmates I guess I just don’t understand why criminals can’t just serve out their entire sentence. After all, they have been judged to be at fault for their crimes, they are sentenced to a certain amount of jailtime … why can’t they just have to serve out their entire sentences? I understand that John Graziano is still hospitalized in a vegetative state since last year’s accident … when does his sentence end? I’m not sure if any of this is really fair … but it is, apparently, justice.

How much he’s learned from this experience has yet to be seen. Do I sense a repeat offender?

It’s not justice – there’s a similar situation going on in Chicagoland right now – a suicidal woman who was doing 90mph on a city street caused a horrific accident, killing three people a few years ago, including a college pal of mine, and she’s going to walk next week. All she got was a broken ankle and an early release for good behavior.

Winona, I am so sad to read your similar story. That is so messed up…..I wish Nick Hogan was serving out his full sentence and fully agree with Trent’s thoughts on this matter.

It’s called over crowding is the reason people get let out on good behavior. I knwo it’s AWEFUL what happened to his friedn and o the other person’s friend that comented. but it’s not like they are letting a serial killer out.When you have so many people in the jails they need to make room for more serious offenders.

Unfortunately, our prisons are very overcrowded and we need space for the serious criminals. I would rather see Nick Hogan walking the streets than a violent rapist. After all, what Nick Hogan did was an accident and the only other person that was hurt was someone that was using poor judgement. I have a hard time viewing either party as a victim. They made the choice to drink and to use excessive speed.

Yeah, and prison over crowding is the reason we need to chill out on the outrageous drug laws. Stop locking people up for distributing a little harmless green. Save jail time for the real criminals.

I agree with LadyVA, I feel for the family Of John Graziano and what they must be going though, but everyone involved is an adult. You need to take some responsibility and it is sad but John’s fate was what it is. So as far as Nick getting out of jail early I dont see a promblem with it if it is stranderd procedure for all inmates. I just pray Nick learned from his mistakes and will stay on the track next time with no passengers.
I race and I understand the feeling you get when you can fly, but be responsible and stay on the track Nick.
