The father of John Graziano, best friend of Nick Hogan [Bollea] who was severely injured in the car accident that sent Hogan to jail, has been arrested and stands accused of plotting to murder his wife.
Edward James Graziano has been under investigation since December and during that time he propositioned an undercover agent about killing his wife Debra. He was arrested Thursday morning at his Palm Harbor home.
Graziano met with the agent and the tipster multiple times to plan the murder. According to detectives, he paid $1,100 in cash, $1,000 in a personal check and a $13 gift card to Westshore Pizza. He supplied the men with his wife’s schedule and asked that the murder be made to look like a car accident.
Debra and her attorney, George Tragos, were informed of the undercover investigation when it began. Tragos said, “We found out about it in mid-December that there was an investigation. And we were warned so that we could be careful. And Debbie’s only reaction is she’s very saddened by it. And she can’t understand why more tragedy would be heaped upon a family that has already suffered so much.” He added, “She will not leave the area because she will not leave her son. Her primary concern is John Graziano.”
Finances may have been the motive.
Graziano is said to be upset that he and his wife haven’t worked since his son’s accident and were strapped financially.
I am wondering how the agents kept a straight face when presented with a pizza coupon as payment for a murder contract. $13 dollars, this is one broke ass loser. I notice that hag Linda opened her trashy yap about it. The wrong one is lying in a vegetative state.
ED IS A LICENSED FUNERAL DIRECTOR. HE WOULD NOT WANT ANYONE WITH ALIVING WILL TO SUFFER. HE AND HIS WIFE CAN’T AGREE IF HE SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO SUFFER OR HAVE DIGNITY IN DEATH… DEBRA, NOW GUARDIAN WAS APPOINTED BY THE COURTS TO LOOK OUT FOR JOHN’S HEALTHCARE NEEDS, POPULAR OR NOT, (THIS IS TERRY SHIVO ALL OVER AGAIN). …ED IS NOT SELFISH….
