Prayer Vigil for Hogan Friend

An emotional prayer vigil was held yesterday in Clearwater, Fla. for John Graziano, the 22-year-old marine who was critically injured in Nick Hogan's car crash on Sunday night.


"He is still in very critical condition, but coming out little by little. He is in the ICU and we need people to continue to pray," said Ashley Berry, Graziano's girlfriend. Also in attendance, Graziano's sister Christian, who said, "We have complete faith that he is going to recover and be completely fine." No one from the Hogan family showed up at the vigil, but Ashley said they have been by Graziano's bedside since the accident.

Local defense attorney J. Kevin Hayslett has been hired by the Hogan family. TMZ contacted him today but he refused to comment on the investigation.

31. To # 3
These justifier's and reducers of liability posts like your own are so much more disturbing then all the village people with torches.
They have clearly broken the law and or killed, maimed, severely injured or abused someone in their own lives.

Or they are on here for some damage control for the Hogan family. At least the villagers see negligence clearly and do not let the smoke from the torch blind their logic

Those that say don't throw stones are my favorite, when ever they want to justify and reduce severity of a situation they use a bible story verse that benefits them.

TMZ is a stone throwing web site you ignorant fools and some stones thrown in the right direction is not always a bad thing. Public opinion is important and does matter.

It can bring about positive change and that is important. Do not try to stop my freedom to express my opinion with your juvenile clichés.

# 3 swawhelly or what ever
You stated in your post that " all of these posts you read" well there was only 2 posts before your's! Which tells me you have been as active on here as anyone else. If the site bothers you should not be on here at all.

34. Clearly another justification . They were not in a yugo hatch back they were in a high performance sports car, There would have been no time to ask someone to slow down ayway before you were wraped in tin.
The Hogan's do not need to send their minions on here to begin damage control before the kid is even prosecuted.
Some of you are unable to take full responsibility for anything in your lives let alone behind the wheel in full control of others lives.
Blaming the passenger is like blaming a girl for getting raped because she wore a short shirt! and yes I bet you do sickos

35. This isn't the first teenager, to do a very foolish thing. If you go on the Garden State Pkwy., in New Jersey, you will see memorials from the beginning to the end. You can bet that a large percent were young drivers. Let's hope and pray that Nick learned his lesson and that John fully recovers. My grandson, also was drag racing on a country road, hit a tree and totaled his car. Luckily he survived.

36. All these things being said are toward Nick Hogan are so evil! You all should be ashamed of yourselves.....

Its apparent that many wealthy parents don't give much thought as to what is good for their children. They just want to please them and that means give them anything money can buy.

But we as parents make wrong choices all the time, as do children. I'm sure Nick realizes he made a very stupid mistake that night of the accident and hopefully he will now see the error of his ways....He can only pray that he does, for his and other drivers sake! It's to bad it takes tragedy for some of us to learn what we should have known all along. But we seriously need to stop the evil hating on Nick and focus on positive thoughts and prayers for his freind. Remember these two guys are freinds and didn't purposly try to hurt his freind....Nicks concious is probably making him feel the way most of you want him to feel anyway rest assured.

37. Here is the prayer we should pray, "Dear Lord, you said in your word whatever we bind on earth you will bind it in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth you will loose it in heaven, this day dear Lord we bind these injuries we cover them with your saving blood and we loose your healing power touch him from the crown of his head to the sole of his feet,bring healing and strength to his body and mind in Jesue perious name we call it done" Amen Amen.

38. Oh yeah, and you all are just making yourself sound jeolous of his and his families wealth and stupid by your retarded hating comments! Grow Up! You guys can only dream of having his cars, opportunities and wealth! That's all there is to it....

39. #32, yeah and you probably didnt have any freinds and never went out and had fun and you probably stayed home with your parents on the weekend. Basically you probably didn't have a life. I hate when people criticize because you think you are perfect. Good for you about your track record! What does it have to do with what happened? Geezz!

40. Jeez, talk about a flashy color. Anyway, most 16-year-olds haven’t had enough practice yet to become a pro drifter.
[Laughs] Let’s just say I have a terrible driving record.

Uh-oh. Looks like someone has a story to tell.
In my silver Viper, I was driving from Miami to Tampa. I got pulled over going 107 [mph] and the guy let me off. He’s like, “Hey, I know who you are, just keep going, ya know.” Dude, I got back on the road and two minutes later I get pulled over going 113 [mph]. Another highway patrol from the same county said, “I just heard on the radio that my buddy pulled you over and let you go. I’ma let you go this time. It’s your second warning. You get pulled over again, you’re probably going to go to jail.” Three minutes later, [I was] doing 123 [mph] in a 50 [mph zone]. The guy is like, “Hey, I just heard you got pulled over twice in the last 10 minutes. I got to write you a ticket.”

41. Trust me whatever beotch I was out there and no I didn't stay home with my parents, I actually had a JOB and my OWN place and my OWN car and no we did not race down the streets like idiot's. If that is YOUR kind of fun maybe YOU should've been in the car with Nick.
Now go do your homework!

42. This is another example of rich arrogance mixed with teenage foolishness. This young punk and his baffoon of a father had chances to change their behavior. Not just one time, but several times. In their little pea brains, shrunk by all the roids.....they thought they were above the law. No regard or care for the rest of us......drive fast, race.....to hell with safety of others.

Now.....he has almost killed a friend. A good kid who served our country. Time to face the music. I hope the DA has the balls to enforce the law and prosecute the kid to its full extent.

Now Nicky......do the right thing. Pay your fines, serve your time in prison. Then, when you get out of the hole....join the Marines, take your friends place serving our country, go to Iraq and face our enemies. There you can redeem yourself.

My bet is he hides behind Daddy and gets all lawyered up.

43. As a mother of two sons, ages 24 & 26, I am saddened by this story. I worry when my sons receive spending tickets because they could die or kill someone. But to judge the Hogans so harshly... I don't know. Some people can be so mean. I wonder how many of you that are being hateful has ever driven to fast or above the speed limit. I think sometimes we need to stop and think about what a terrible time this is for both families. Why not just pray for both boys and their families ? I notice on TMZ most people are so mean. Is there something missing in someone's life that sits and judges others so....

44. First of all, let's hope that the passenger has a fast and total recovery. For punishment, I'd like to see this piece of celebucrap be forced to enlist in the Army.
