45 days is the mandatory sentence carried in North Carolina for misdemeanors. No way in hell any competent prosecutor is going to allow him to just cop a plea to one misdemeanor based on the amount of drugs and the number of charges that Hardy has been facing. He will have to guilty pleas to at least one felony charge as well i'm betting my money on it. On top of the sentence, i'm pretty sure his plea agreement arranges or carries some type of mandatory in patient rehab, along with probation restrictions, even after completing his "mandatory sentence", he will be look at several years of supervision. So if he thinks he can keep on using and going down the same road, he'll just find himself facing the maximum penalty for all of his charges. And remember, no judge in any jurisdiction has to accept a defendant and prosecutor reached plea agreement. The judge has the right to void the agreement and prescribe the minimum statuate sentencing prescribed to each count of charges levied against the defendant. Best case scenario, either he's dropping the title to Morgan or Anderson or TNA will kayfabe strip him of the title due to some technicality, perhaps Dixie Carter using an injunction against Immortal and stripping Hardy of the title. Either way I say his days with the TNA strap are done....good riddance in my estimation.
