Latest could mean more trouble for Vick

[silverbear]

If the dog don't sit you must acquit.

You left out an "h" there...

I'll leave you to figure out where...

I feel sorry for Vick.......

I don't, not even a little bit... he has been an irresponsible jerk since he left Va Tech...

his mother was really nice to talk with.

If she is indeed nice, I can manage to feel sorry for her... if she's a decent woman, she has to be profoundly ashamed of both of her boys...

I'm waiting for Vick to pull a Steinbrenner and fire him.

Three times.

Once in a Miller Lite commercial...

 

[silverbear]

Don't know about number 9 there: The Chinese government executed the last head of that department.....

I fail to see a problem...

 

[silverbear]

:laugh2: you spread herpes and flick off your fans, not to mention suck at being a QB

give me a break

I'm trying to figure out which name he's trying to clear:

Ookie??

Ron Mexico??

The poor guy, he's liable to wind up needing another pseudnym...

 

[silverbear]

I never thought of it that way, Vick is gonna use the Sergeant Schultz defense...

Maybe he could get the trial moved to Texas, and use the "them dogs needed killing" defense...

Plea hearing for co-defendant of Vick set for Monday

Updated: July 27, 2007, 9:06 PM ET



RICHMOND, Va. -- One of Michael Vick's co-defendants doesn't want to wait for trial.

Instead, a plea agreement hearing has been scheduled for Tony Taylor at 9 a.m. Monday in the federal dogfighting conspiracy case.

Taylor's hearing was added to U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson's docket Friday, a day after he and the other three defendants pleaded not guilty before the same judge. Vick and the others still are scheduled for trial Nov. 26.

Prosecutors claim Taylor, 34, found the Surry County property purchased by Vick and used it as the site of "Bad Newz Kennels," a dogfighting enterprise. The Hampton man also allegedly helped purchase pit bulls and killed at least two dogs that fared poorly in test fights.

Taylor's lawyer, Stephen Ashton Hudgins of Newport News, did not immediately return a phone message, and federal prosecutors have declined to talk about the case.

An 18-page indictment issued July 17 charged the four men with conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities, and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. The maximum punishment is five years in prison and fines of up to $250,000.

According to the indictment, the dogfighting ring executed underperforming dogs by drowning, hanging and other brutal means. It alleges that the fights offered purses as high as $26,000.

The gruesome details outlined in the indictment have fueled protests and public outrage against Vick, the star quarterback of the Atlanta Falcons. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has banned Vick from the Falcons' training camp while the league investigates.

Charged along with Vick and Taylor are Purnell A. Peace, 35, of Virginia Beach, and Quanis L. Phillips, 28, of Atlanta.

All four remain free without bond. When U.S. Magistrate Dennis Dohnal set the conditions for their release Thursday, he commended Taylor for admitting to using illegal drugs despite never being convicted of a drug offense. He ordered periodic drug testing for Taylor.

Peace and Phillips each have drug convictions and were ordered to submit to testing, as well as an electronic monitoring program. Taylor was spared the electronic monitoring.

Neither drug testing nor monitoring were ordered for Vick.

Uh-oh, the doo-doo just got a LOT deeper for Vick...

As others have noted, that's what the announcement of a "superceding indictment" to come in the next few weeks was all about-- leverage to induce one of the codefendants to roll on his buddies... looks like it worked, doesn't it??

Verrrrry interesting...

Have I missed something? Is the trial over already? Presumption of innocence I guess is a thing of the past.

Presumption of innocence is for the courtroom, and Vick will get that...

I'm under no obligation legally to presume his innocence, nor is anybody in here... I have judged the man guilty, based on the evidence I'm aware of (which is considerable, inasmuch as I have studied everything I can find on the subject)...

It's sexy, it sells, the media love it and some with some deep seated resentment love it as well.

Oh, I DEFINITELY resent any piece of crap who abuses animals for fun and profit... always have, always will...

I get it, the federal prosecutor says he is guilty so it must be so. Let's just skip the trial and string him up;

Oh, save the melodrama for yo' mama... nobody's saying Vick shouldn't get a good, fair American trial... and so he will... and I'd guess the odds are better than ten to one that he's goin' DOWN...

But this is a MESSAGE BOARD, not a COURT OF LAW... we have every legal right to prejudge him, if we're so inclined... if it bothers you so deeply, I'd suggest you skip right on past any future Vick threads, 'cause I can assure you it's not gonna change, just because it offends your delicate sensibilities...

Thank goodness most of you are not jury eligible; he could really be in trouble. Also, if proven innocent I hope you all are equally zealous in his defense.

Nobody is ever "proven innocent" in a court of law... funny, I thought you were depicting yourself as an expert on the legal process, I would have expected you knew that...

you should be a shamed of yourselves but hey it is not your glass house on display, lol.

Never have hurt a dog, and I never will... not deliberately, anyway... so I'm not worried at all about my "glass house"...

Michael Vick is a lowlife piece of crap, for more reasons than just abusing animals for his pleasure... there isn't enough bad karma that could come down on him in his next ten lifetimes to make up for the wrong he's done in his young life...
