The Grazianos' Response to Hogan

Professional wrestler Hulk Hogan appeared on "Larry King Live" Tuesday to discuss about his imprisoned teenage son Nick and a series of tape recordings of the phone calls between the two.

As 17-year-old Nick Bollea is serving his eight-month jail sentence for being involved in a car crash that left his friend in a vegetative state, Hogan felt it was necessary to address the issues triggered by the release to the media of the conversations in which Hogan suggested John Graziano's condition was “God’s will.”
Hogan explained, trying to point out that his comments were taken out of context, "I never meant to hurt the Graziano family," Hogan added.

The wrestler defended his comments telling the CNN host that he made them because he was trying to make his son feel better, given the fact that he had already spent several weeks in solitary confinement.

Breaking down in tears by the end of the broadcast, Hogan said that he believed the public understood his family’s plight.

But the Grazianos don’t care much about Hogan’s apologies, saying that the facts remained the same. His son’s actions were the ones who lead to the condition of their son.

"No matter how he tried to spin it, no matter how he tried to cry at the end, it wasn't going to change people's minds,” said George Tragos, the family’s lawyer, according to TMZ.com.

They also said that they should have had the chance to appear on the show, as well and give their opinion about Hogan’s affirmations.

Even though Hogan admitted his son has "made a mistake," he insisted that Nick, who pleaded guilty to felony reckless driving involving serious bodily injury, was not charged with DUI, and he "stood up like a man."
