New sad home videos of WWE superstar Hulk Hogan's jailed son Nick Bollea's car crash victim have been made public in effort to show the teen the seriousness of his friend’s condition. Bollea, 17, is currently serving an eight-month prison sentence at Florida’s Pinellas County Jail, after pleading no contest to a felony of reckless driving following a horrific car crash in Clearwater, Florida, which left his best friend John Graziano brain damaged for life. On the released tapes, aired by CNN’s Nancy Grace yesterday, 23-year-old Graziano is shown from his hospital bed, his injuries pixilated due to their severity. Grace comments as the video rolls, revealing Graziano’s day-to-day life: "I’ve been on a lot of crash wards and rehab centres to meet with victims and even now this is how wrenching it is to see what he is going through." Graziano’s parents spoke out last May, furious at Bollea’s lack of remorse, after hearing him discuss plans to win an early release from jail in taped telephone conversations that were leaked online. The family also blasted the Bolleas for trying to cash in on their grief, by turning Nick’s prison stint into a money making television reality show.

Attorneys for Hulk Hogan's jailed son Nick Bollea have filed a court request to have him moved out of solitary confinement, because the punishment is too "cruel" for a teenager to have.Bollea, 17, is currently serving an eight-month prison sentence at Florida’s Pinellas County Jail after pleading no contest to felony reckless driving following a near fatal car crash in Clearwater, Florida, which has left his best friend John Graziano brain damaged. Bollea spends between 16 and 17 hours a day in the maximum security cell, but his attorneys want to have him moved to a minimum security area and are even suggesting monitored home confinement as an option, reports People.com. Legal papers filed in a Florida court yesterday, read: "Understandably, this situation creates an unbearable anxiety for a minor in solitary confinement. "(It) substantially amounts to cruel and unusual punishment for a juvenile and is not warranted for a non-violent first offender serving a probation sentence." Bollea’s lawyers also claim he was only placed in solitary confinement because the jail is not equipped to hold minors.

HULK HOGAN SPEAKS ON SONS CAR CRASH

Hulk Hogan

Former Wrestler Hulk Hogan is speaking about the moment he found out his son Nick had been involved in a car crash and he's describing it as his "worst nightmare". Nick Bollea had his driving licence suspended for a year in November after Florida officials deemed him a dangerous driver, following an August accident that left his friend John Graziano needing nursing care for the rest of his life. And Hogan shudders at the memory of receiving a phone call informing him about the accident. He says, "That is your worst nightmare as a parent, to hear there’s been a car wreck."Thank God, everything’s getting better, Nick’s doing OK, his buddy John Graziano is getting better everyday. Thank God." Last month Graziano’s mother Debra said her 22-year-old son is semi-conscious, can open his eyes, and he recently leaned away from her when she tried to touch his face. However, she said Graziano has still not spoken and can’t breathe without the help of a machine. Meanwhile, Bollea has been charged with reckless driving involving serious bodily injury and will be tried as an adult when his case reaches court.

Hogan was promoting a new show American Gladiators at a press conference on Thursday when he was asked which celebrity he would most like to see challenged by the series’ muscle-bound competitors. He told reporters, "Without a doubt Rosie O’Donnell. Somebody needs to shut that big mouth up." O’Donnell, however, was quick to respond on her blog, writing, "Hulk Hogan, the wrestler guy, wants to pummel me. Isn’t that sweet, and wildly odd." She then likened the star’s vendetta to that of U.S. property mogul Donald Trump, with whom she had a public feud earlier this year: "It’s like a gang of gross guys, a club almost, old, dumb, white and on TV."

The family's primary focus and concern still remains for the continued recovery of Nick's long-time friend John Graziano. The Bolleas will also continue to stand by the Graziano family and help them in any way they can."The tragedy to both families is compounded by the fact that unfortunately John was not wearing his seatbelt. Thankfully, Nick was wearing his. Because of what happened to John, the entire Bollea family will make it a priority to increase public awareness about the importance of always wearing your seatbelt."Because Nick is still a juvenile and has no prior criminal record, we are disappointed that he is being charged as an adult offender. However, we are confident that the evidence will demonstrate that this was an accident. We ask all who follow these events to keep an open mind as to the facts until they have been ultimately determined."Nick, who Clearwater police claim was drinking on the night of the crash, also faces charges of using a motor vehicle in the commission of a felony, a person under the age of 21 operating a vehicle with a breath-alcohol level of .02 or higher and having and illegal window tint.Daniel Jacobs, the driver Nick was reportedly racing against, has been issued with a summons to appear in court for reckless driving.
