Hogan family ripped on CNN talk show, Graziano family attorney claims the victim didn't plan to go drag racing

The Hogan family phone logs were discussed in the opening segment on Tuesday's "Nancy Grace" show on CNN. Grace played audio clips of Hulk Hogan and Nick Hogan badmouthing victim John Graziano and planning Nick's comeback reality show. She also featured the audio clips of Linda Hogan claiming she's suffering more than the victim's mother.
George Tragos, co-counsel for the Graziano family, stated that John is missing part of his frontal lobe is missing and added that he will require constant care for the remainder of his life. Grace, a former prosecuting attorney, added that she felt Nick received a light sentence.
Tragos also claimed that his client didn't know Nick was going to drag race. "He didn't plan to go drag racing. He didn't plan to speed on a wet road. He didn't plan to spin out. He didn't plan to hit a tree. Do you blame the tree for being there? So it's not Nick's fault because there was a tree there? That's ridiculous."
Powell's POV: There were definitely some eye-rolling moments inspired by Grace and her panel, just as there were during her coverage of the Benoit family tragedy. That being said, this was more negative publicity for the family and not one guest on the show defended their actions. Two lawyers not involved in the case predicted that the audio recordings will help the Graziano family win their civil lawsuit against the Hogans.
Tragos lost credibility with me when he claimed that Graziano didn't know he was going to be drag racing. I'm quite confident that John knew what Nick was like behind the wheel. That doesn't excuse Nick's actions by any means, but I thought it was disingenuous and unnecessary of Tragos to make such a claim. Overall, though, this was 40 minutes of horrible publicity for the Hogan family.
