TMZ's legal sources say that Nick Hogan will not fight the charge of felony reckless driving involving serious bodily injury. He will plead either guilty or no contest. No deal has been struck with prosecutors.

Nick will enter an "open plea" - which gives the judge total control over his sentencing. Victim John Graziano and his family will have an opportunity to testify at a sentencing hearing on how the crime has affected their lives.

The maximum penalty is five years in prison.

Nick Hogan was sentenced moments ago to 8 months in Pinellas County Jail, five years of probation, and 500 hours of community service not in the form of public speaking. He also cannot drink alcohol for five years and his license was revoked for three.

To me that sentence is nothing more than a joke, and he should get more time behind the bars, at least 8 more months as far as im concerned. And as for his license being revoked for three years, well i think that should start as soon as he get out of jail.
