Hogan Defense Faults Seat Belt

What The Affidavits Reveal
CLEARWATER - After the accident, Hulk Hogan and his family offered their encouragement, their emotional support and their deepest hopes that John Graziano would recover from his critical injuries.
On Wednesday, authorities charged the famed wrestler's 17-year-old son, Nick Bollea, with reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. Almost immediately, Hogan family attorneys called into question Graziano's own inaction that contributed to his injuries.
"The tragedy to both families is compounded by the fact that unfortunately John was not wearing his seat belt," Bollea's attorneys wrote in a statement. "Thankfully, Nick was wearing his."
Nick Bollea
By raising the issue of seat belt use, Bollea's attorneys could be laying groundwork for his criminal defense and attempting to minimize future civil liability, legal experts said.
Two and a half months after he wrecked his Toyota Supra, leaving Graziano, a passenger, with minimal brain activity, Bollea surrendered Wednesday to face allegations he was racing at the time and had been drinking.
Bollea, who lives with his parents in Belleair, appeared slightly sullen Wednesday as he was dropped off at the Pinellas County Jail by two Clearwater police officers and released within hours on $10,000 bail.
Attorneys Morris "Sandy" Weinberg Jr. and Kevin Hayslett released a statement saying the family's "primary focus and concern" remains Graziano's recovery. The statement also said the family wants to increase awareness of seat belts because Graziano was not wearing his.
Graziano's mother's attorney, George Tragos, said the charges against Bollea were "appropriate" and the seat belt is a nonissue.
"I think people are going to recognize whether he was or was not wearing a seat belt has nothing to do with criminal activity," Tragos said. "I think it's just a red herring to try and shift the blame to a person who is in critical condition in the hospital."
Graziano's father's attorney, Kimberley Kohn, was equally upset.
"I find it stunning," she said, "that their defense in trying to justify their son's criminal and outrageous conduct is to place the blame on a young man who fought for his country, who's lying in a hospital bed unconscious."
Tom Scarritt, a Tampa lawyer with no connection to the case, said Florida law allows seat belt use as a defense in civil lawsuits. If a driver causes a crash but the injured person was not wearing a seat belt, civil damages against the driver can be reduced.
In a criminal case, Scarritt said, defense lawyers might argue that the crash would not have been as severe if the victim wore a seat belt. The charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury might not apply.
"If he had his seat belt on, he would not have been seriously injured," Scarritt said. "It would have changed the scenario, probably."
Therefore, the Bolleas' announcement to begin a seat belt campaign is not necessarily altruistic, Scarritt said.
"Is the Bollea family really trying to raise awareness about seat belt usage? Let's hope so," Scarritt said. "Is that a campaign that helps their legal strategy? I think so."
On Aug. 26, Bollea's 1998 Toyota Supra hit a curb, crossed two lanes and struck a palm tree.
John Graziano
Riding as a passenger with Bollea was Graziano, 22, a Marine veteran of the Iraq war, who was left with "minimal brain wave activity," according to court documents. He was on a full ventilation system and was unable to move his extremities. Attorneys for his parents have more recently called him incapacitated, but say he is responding to stimuli.
A half dozen witnesses told police that Bollea was street racing against a Dodge Viper, later found to be owned by Hulk Hogan, before he lost control of the Supra. One witness said the cars were going faster than 60 mph, court documents state. The posted speed limit is 40 mph.
"Not these two again," one witness recalled thinking, after seeing the two cars race between intersections, according to court documents. At one point, Denise Cirella was between the two cars at a light when Bollea "grimaced" at the driver of the Viper, she told investigators.
Cirella later saw Bollea's Supra fishtailing as it went out of control, spun and jumped the median before smashing rear-end first into a palm tree, court documents state.
The driver against whom Bollea is accused of racing was a friend, Daniel Jacobs, 22, and riding as a passenger with Jacobs was Barrett Lawrance, 27. Lawrance told police that earlier in the day he, Jacobs and Bollea were on Hogan's boat, the documents state. Jacobs told authorities he had four beers on the boat and later drank a 32-ounce rum runner at a popular Clearwater bar, according to the documents.
The boat at one point paused at Shephard's Tiki Bar, but didn't stop there because the crowd was too large. The boat then went to Three Rooker Island, then returned to Shephard's, where Lawrance said he saw Bollea drinking something, though he didn't know what, court documents state.
Lawrance said they returned to Bollea's home where they decided to go to the Arigato Japanese Steak House. That's when the four hopped into the two vehicles, court documents state.
In addition to the reckless driving charge, Bollea was cited for using a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, driving with illegal window tint and driving as a minor with a breath-alcohol level of 0.02 or higher. Court records state that two hours after the wreck, Bollea's ethanol serum level was 0.055.
Bollea's attorneys took issue with the decision by the state attorney's office to charge Bollea as an adult.
"Everyone forgets this is a kid, a juvenile," Hayslett said. "At the time of this accident, he had been 17 for almost 30 days."
Bruce Bartlett, chief assistant state attorney, said his office dealt with Bollea as they would any 17-year-old.
Bollea's other attorney, Weinberg, maintained that at the time the Supra struck the palm tree it was traveling under the speed limit.
"This was an accident," Weinberg said at a news conference. "Except for the grace of God, it could have been the other way around. Nick had his seat belt on. ... John did not have his seat belt on."
After the news conference, Hogan came to the jail in a white Mercedes to pick up his son. Bollea and his mother hugged. The teen got in the back seat and put on his seat belt.

Leave Nick alone!His friend chose to get in the car with him and he was partying also.The Hogans will take care of John like he was their own son,because they are decent and sincere people.Idon't think Nick should be charged as an adult,he is only a kid.

I think he should be tried as an adult. Were do we draw the line for not holding people accountable for their actions. I have personally seen Nick in his race modified Supra racing the streets in Hillsborough and Pinellas. Nick's choice was to race, which resulted in him losing control and severly injuring a US Marine. Granted, he could be in better condition if he was using a seat belt, but the fact of the matter is Nick was racing, caused the accident and caused injury to a person. I don't know what is worse, getting injured in an accident and be in the state he is, or getting mortally wounded in Iraq. I bet he'd rather take the latter. Try Nick as an adult and make him suffer the consequences.

Hell yes Nick should be tried as an adult. I am sure if it were your brother laying in that hospital bed you would feel differently (alenthree).
I hope they take away his license for many years....that would be a good punishment. Nick is the same age as my son and my foot would be up his you know what if this was our situation.

Not only should the puke Nick be tried as an adult, the Hulkster should be charged as well. IT is time for these crap-for-brains, holier than thou families get the heck out of Tampa. Hogan family, move back to CA where this bad behavior is tolerated and expected. We do not want you here. Do not EVER come into my business as I will kick your but to the curb.

Its a shame that at the age of 16 and two speeding tickets in excess of 100mph no one (dad or mom) stepped in and took his keys away. and even worse that someone with the means to go out and race legally and safely would choose to race on public roads. It was a poor choice, and the outcome was the worst it could be. Im sure if Nick could take it all back he would. Hind sight is 20/20. Its time to man up and be responsible for your actions. A tough lesson to learn at 17.

Yall are wastin your time on this. Who cares? what happens to Nick does not effect your lives one bit. Yes, its sad that John has minimal brain activity, and my prayers go out to him for speedy recovery, but JOHN got in the car and JOHN decided not to put his seatbelt on. Who knows if Nick mentioned it? BUT GO ON WITH YOUR LIVES AND LET THIS BE!

Nick was in the wrong but in my opinion so was the other kid. The otherkid in the car was prob. encouraging this. also he should have been wearing a seatbelt. I have mixed feelings about this though, My father and brother were killed four years ago in a car accident by an 18 year old kid who wasnt paying attention to the road and goofing off and all he got was a sitation for careless driving...wheres the justice...Nick SHOULD pay but just because the other kid was injured doesnt make him 100% innocent either

The situation is tragic for both families. Nick already has a life sentence in the guilt he will feel due to the accident. That said, he certainly needs to be held accountable, however, it needs to be done under the Juvenile laws mandated by society itself. I understand that some people want blood for blood. We have Juvenile laws because society says that kids under 18 will make stupid mistakes, might need special help not provided by the adult system, and that we will allow them that second chance so they are not scarred for life. Nick will have to live with his mistake forever, and he will need help to do so. The parents obviously need to participate, and that won't be properly handled in the adult system either, but would be in the Juvenile system.
Charging him as an adult is wrong, not just legally, but ethically as well. Society decided we would let kids drive 2,000 pound weapons at 16 years old. Society is fully aware that teenage drivers are a higher risk, and will result in some tragedies as a result.
That said, society must also accept the consequences of a teenage accident due to poor judgement, and follow the Juvenile Laws that we have put in place for ALL of our kids whether they were born to SuperStar Celebrities, or your local Plumber. The Defense should be fighting Adult Certification at all costs. The Prosecution should be following our Laws, not Re-Writing them. If you want to be proactive, go to the legislature, and up the driving age to 18, and then the Juvenile Laws won't come into play. Until then, {as tragic as it all is}, this boy deserves the same juvenile consideration that has been afforded to thousands of other kids across this country that have been involved in a tragic accident due to immature judgement.

I have a question. The lawyers are now involved in what is called damage control. They're not going to court to prove Nick drove the car. They're going to court to determine who's responsible for what. The seat belt thing normally applies only to a civil case. They will try to make it apply here too. That will lessen the responsibility for damages if they are successful. My question is about Nick being tried as an adult or a juvinile. The report stated that the lawyer took issue with the decision to try him as an adult. I'm not certain how this works but it seems to me that it would be to the family's benefit to have him tried as an adult. If he was tried as an adult (which everyone seems to think they should do) then as an adult he is responsible for the damage he caused and his family is let off the hook and the fact that they let him drink or drive drunk or street race is not an issue? If he is tried as a minor then his parents are responsible for the damage? Nick is a snot nosed 17 year old who has nothing. His parents however have resources to provide for the injured person's care. I would like to know what the ramifications are of trying Nick as an adult as opposed to trying him as a minor. I know if he was tried as a minor nomatter what the verdict, he'd be released with a clean record when he reached 21 but what about the financial matter?

Linda Hogan said "What 17 year-old doesn't get tickets?"
Nick said "John just bumped his head."
Brooke said "John is waking up"
Hulk said "Nick wasn't speeding (or racing)"
Nick and his friends were on HULK'S BOAT, DRINKING, and driving HULK'S VIPER and Nick's Supra.
The parents are morally just as guilty as Nick and yes, John does have some responsibility, but to blame the accident on him when the Hogan's are enabling destructive and illegal activity???????

I'm not blaming John, because low & behold it's a shame he more than likely will never be the same. John CHOSE to get in the car, he CHOSE to not buckle up, He also CHOSE to be a part of what ever really happened! My thoughts go out to both families!!!! I do not feel Nick should do jail time. Everyone has choices, & yes they both made some bad one's. Who hasn't made a bad choice @ 17?

Think about this...
Atlanta Thrashers hockey player Dany Heatley was sentenced to three years of probation after pleading guilty to second-degree vehicular homicide charges stemming from the car accident that killed his teammate, Dan Snyder. Heatley was found to be speeding and driving recklessly, but Snyder's parents urged the judge to not give Heatley a prison sentence.
Dany KILLED a man and got off... so can Nick!

We all know too well how this is all gonna end---probation and fine, which is nothing to this family. They'll no doubt be a civil judgement later which will result in the Bollea's having to give up the equivalent of spare coins from the cushions of their couch. Nick should be forced to serve a couple of tours in Iraq, that would be the best justice of all.

I don't think the Hogans are morally bankrupt, and I don't agree that EVERYONE thinks he should be tried as an adult. Not from reading this forum anyway. Most 17 years olds have that "Invincible" attitude, snot nosed, whatever, and I imagine coming from a wealthy, and popular family might add to that.
Frankly, none of that matters. He falls under the Juvenile Laws that Society mandated in 1955. He may be snot nosed, but he's not some COLD BLOODED murderer. He will need help, and his family will too. They all need to learn, and that won't be accomplished in the adult system of legal warfare.
I'm not sure about the financial responsibility of the parents in a civil matter after he is tried as an adult. It would seem to me that the parents could be sued eitherway.
If you are thinking that they are letting him be tried as adult to insulate the Family finances, I believe that would be a huge mistake, and dis-service to their own son.
I think they get sued eitherway, or the families agree to settle on a number amiably.
I'm sure there was insurance, and clearly the Hogan's can personally afford to part with a reasonable figure to do what is right for the victim's family, and their son.
This needs to be about the legal process against a minor, and doing what is legally correct, and best for that boy's future. He will have to live on, and carry a tremndous burden for the rest of his life.
It doesn't matter to me what his last name is, or how much money his family has. He's just another minor that should be handled in Juvenile Court. They need to follow the Laws the people have mandated for our kids.

Of course they aren't looking to raise awareness of "drinking and Driving" and "Speeding" and "Reckless Driving" and "Street Racing", because none of those things would help their case.
This is a SHAMELESS attempt to manipulate the media and put some PR SPIN on the situation. I trust that the public, the prosecutor, and any prospective jurors will see through this phony smokescreen created to excuse Nicks criminal actions.

You know, we heard more from Linda and Hulk Hogan when they got fined for having 25 animals living in a residential area. "We're not trying to push our celebrity on anyone...."
And it's funny how they used to say that Hogan Knows best is really how they live and now that this has happened, they deny it since VH1/MTV has had some episodes that didn't paint them in a flattering light. Hulk has lied and Linda has minimized the situation. Hulk is accusing the media of lying.
Hulk hangs with Bubba the Love Sponge (whom every parent should steer their children away from).
Nick is a product of his parents.
Not to take away from the hard work Hulk has done to get his family where they are now, but, the parents really did forget where it is they came from, they forget what humble pie tastes like and their kids reflect it in their actions.
Forget money and celebrity status. This is a wake-up call for the whole Hogan family...

Ohnoyoudidnt,
Of course they can. Just about any juvenile offense can be manipulated so adult certification can be attempted.
Adult certification should be reserved strictly for premeditated, intentional violent crimes, Deadly sex offenders, etc.
If you are going to charge this boy for driving too fast, and doing what just about every kid does at some point in their teenage driving years, then you need to charge them ALL as adults, or just get rid of the Juvenile Court System altogether!
Some accidents by teenagers result in tragic injuries, or even death, and some just walk away from their TOTALED out car unscathed, and uninjured. It happens EVERYDAY!
There is really no difference.
One kid got lucky, the other didn't.
He will get needed help in the Juvenile System. He may just get a slap on the hand from the adult system.
In fact, the Juvenile System might be tougher, and would have much more discretion to provide the needed help to the whole family, the victim's family, and to hold Nick to higher level of accountability under BARJJ. {Which Florida supposedly subscribes to. IE:Barjj = Balanced and Restorative Juvenile Justice}

I do think that EVERYONE (regardless of age) who operates a motor vehicle in a reckless manner that results in a death, or serious injury should be charged as an adult. Maybe if EVERYONE knew that if while driving in a reckless manner, they injured or killed someone they would GO TO JAIL for at least a year (mandatory minimum as the law is now), they might make BETTER choices. The problem is that we give kids an adult responsibility/privilege (driving a car), and then don't hold them accountable. If kids start seeing EVERY reckless accident end with charges and jail time I'd submit to you that they would think more closely about their actions and maybe their parents would become more involved with their driving as well.
I'm not suggesting that EVERY accident end with someone going to jail, some accidents happen for reasons other than recklessness, but when the circumstances and facts are as clear as this (i.e. drinking and driving, excessive speeding, street racing) there should be no, "well all kids do this stuff" softness. A lack of discipline in general is already leading to a general population that exhibits a lack of personal responsibility, do we really need it to get any worse?

In regards to Barjj, the offender must accept responsibility for what they have done. The Bollea family has already started down the path of pointing the finger at the victim INSTEAD of A:) taking responsibility, or B:) at least keeping their pie hole shut.
Do you really think that they will EVER ACCEPT responsibility for all of the actions that could be proven in court?
Wouldn't that be a key component to make barjj work in this instance?

Ohnoyoudidnt Said:"The problem is that we give kids an adult responsibility/privilege (driving a car), and then don't hold them accountable."
I agree that we give kids an adult responsibility. Perhaps too much for a 16 or 17 years old.
Since WE, as a collective society, have enabled them to drive at 16, we must accept some responsibility for bad results.
That's why I mentioned upping the driving age to 18.
Some states have already done so.
I am not arguing that Nick shouldn't be held accountable. We agree on that. I don't agree that the Juvenile system doesn't hold them accountable. It does, and in many ways, more so than the adult system. The victims are allowed to fully participate, and even make recommendations in the Juvenile process as well, whereas in the adult process, they just get to make a statement.
You also said:The Bollea family has already started down the path of pointing the finger at the victim INSTEAD of A:) taking responsibility, or B:) at least keeping their pie hole shut.
I agree with "B" for sure! :-)
As for "A", I don't think we have, or really know yet what they done in regards to the victim's family, and what they intend to do. We'll have to see how that plays out.
Of course once they were put in the adult system, they are going to be forced to play the legal warfare game.
Another good reason to keep this in the proper juvenile venue.

I am amazed at how many people have let their emotions take over and those same individuals are making asinine statements based on inaccurate information from the media. Our local news media’s thirst for advertising dollars has once again caused great harm to both victims of this tragic accident. A great number of people have expressed their anger at Nick’s attorney’s stating a fact of the case.
FACT: John Graziano was not wearing a seat belt.
FACT: John Graziano’s injuries are due to his failure to protect himself against any unforeseen event. i.e. ACCIDENT.
FACT: This wasn’t the first time john failed to wear a seat belt.
FACT: John was aware of the dangers and consequences of speeding and reckless driving.
FACT: John lived in the fast lane with Nick… see link or past below
