Hogan family friend claims Nick Bollea will plead guilty in court today, ready to go to jail if it comes to that

Bubba The Love Sponge announced on his Sirius radio show (on Howard 101) that Nick Bollea is planning to plead guilty in court today. Bubba claims he spoke to Hulk Hogan on Thursday night and was told that Nick won't beg for mercy. Rather, he'll take whatever sentence he gets like a man.

Bubba said if the case went to trial it would put Nick, his family, and the family of victim John Graziano through a lot. Bubba said Nick "manned up" and did not want to do that to everyone. He is ready to go to jail if that's what the judge decides. Bubba said he knows a lot of people dislike Nick, but he is doing the right thing in this case. [Thanks to Dot Net reader Jagger K.]

Powell's POV: The portion about Nick not begging for mercy could be Hogan bravado. If Nick is smart, he'll simply do whatever his legal team asks him to do, which would most likely be to ask for mercy. I will gain some respect for Nick if he does step up and accept responsibility for his actions.
