Update on Jeff Hardy’s Court Case
The judge presiding over the Jeff Hardy case in Cameron, NC agreed on Wednesday to the defense's request for a continuance. The next hearing is scheduled for May 10th, 2010.
This means Hardy should be able to appear at the next TV tapings without any issues.
Details on Jeff Hardy’s Trial
Current TNA superstar Jeff Hardy’s trial on four cases will begin tomorrow, March 17th, in the Superior Court of Moore County, North Carolina.
Hardy was arrested on September 11, of last year when police searched his home and found 262 Vicodin prescription pills, 180 soma prescription pills, 555 milliliters of anabolic steroids, a residual amount of powder cocaine and drug paraphernalia.
Jeff was indicted on January 4th, 2010. Hardy is currently facing five felonies in total, a misdemeanor charge and a conspiracy charge. Below are the charges related to his arrest.
* Felony drug trafficking
* Two counts of felony possession of a schedule III controlled substance or drugs.
* Misdemeanor possession of drug paraphernalia
* Conspiracy to traffic opium for trafficking four or more grams but less than fourteen grams of opium/heroin.
The conspiracy to traffic opium charge is a new charge that has recently been brought forth.
A 12-persona jury will be seated in the court room to overhear the case, and when the DA and Defense rest their case, the jury will determine whether Hardy is Guilty or Not Guilty on each of the charges.
If the jury finds Hardy guilty of any charges, another court date will be set for sentencing.
Planned Ending for TNA Impact
As if it weren't obvious by watching, ProWrestling.net recently confirmed that the original plan for the ending of the TNA Impact show this past Monday night was scheduled to see Jeff Hardy hit his Swanton Bomb off the top rope onto AJ Styles to set up their program for next Monday night.
The main event went too long, however, and the cameras went black right as Hardy was ascending to the top rope for the final spot on the show.
