Nick Hogan is a piece of shit

As we speak, Nick Hogan is in a Pinellas County, Florida, courtroom facing the music for that little street-racing accident last year that left his friend — Iraq War veteran John Graziano — with permanent mental and physical disabilities. Earlier in the morning, Nick plead no contest to a felony charge of reckless driving involving serious bodily injury; his sentence is at the full discretion of the judge. A few highlights of the proceedings via TMZ:

UPDATE 2:14 ET: Prepare for waterworks … here’s the victim’s dad, Ed Graziano. He tells the judge about John’s decorated service in the Marines. And he says, “What al Qaeda couldn’t do to my son, Nick did in a matter of minutes.”

UPDATE 2:18 ET: And Ed Graziano continues, saying that he spends 10 hours a day at the hospital with John, and that John will spend the rest of his life with mental and physical disabilities. Hulk is peering over at the Graziano family. Ed says that when Nick went to the hospital to see John, he looked totally bored, and even shot dart guns and skateboarded around the hospital! OMG!

UPDATE 2:25 ET: Now up, John’s sister Christian Carson. She says that sometimes she tries to call him, and breaks down when she realizes she can’t. Tough. And she says that Nick has never apologized for the crash.

UPDATE 2:32 ET: [John Graziano’s girlfriend] Ashley says that Nick’s license plate COEHSP stands for “Capable of Eluding High Speed Pursuit.”

Wow, Nick skateboarded around the hospital while his friend lay dying in bed. What a great guy. I think I’m in the majority here in hoping that part of Nick’s sentence involves stripping him naked, handcuffing his wrists to his ankles, and then setting him loose in San Quentin.*

*Voted by Travel & Leisure as 2008’s “Rapiest Prison in America!”

UPDATE: Nick’s sentence was just handed down: 8 months in Pinellas County Jail, 5 years probation, 500 hours community service, 3 years suspended license.
