Vick Plea Details:Vick admits dog killing, conspiracy

[03EBZ06]

This is a legal victory for Vick, he was not guilty on the gambling charges.

I think you spoke too soon. He admitted to gambling, just not side bets on the dogfights. I wouldn't call being a snitch a legal victory, he is their ***** now.

And a vague statement on his involvement in the killings.

Lawyer language but if you really pay attention, it isn't as vague as you believe.

Vick will do his time and be reinstated.

Only time will tell but I wouldn't bet on it.

For those of you upset that Vick has gotten away with something, you need to remember that this is a plea bargain. The feds don't need to get him on everything -- just enough to squeeze from 1 to 1.5 years of jail time out of, which they've apparently done. I'm guessing they chose the most airtight charge. And if does turn informant as has been reported then it makes that much more sense.

Vick will never throw another pass in an NFL game.

Plus, it seems like they (vick and his legal team) want everybody to go "awwww, well he didn't gamble... that means he didn't do anything wrong." are they crazy? I don't care if he gambled on it, he was the ring leader of this whole thing, I hope Zrinkill is 100% wrong (even though he's probably closer to right) and Vick never makes an NFL dime again, plus spends a good deal of time in jail.

Their emphasis on the "he didn't gamble" aspect is not to convince anybody that what he did wasn't wrong, but rather an attempt to keep Goodell from banning Ookie from NFL football for life... I'm far more disturbed by the thought of him killing dogs that don't fight well enough to suit him than I am by the thought he might have gambled on the "festivities"...

Happily, so far their attempt to save Vick from a lifetime ban doesn't seem to be working... Goodell ain't buying what they're selling...
