Indicted on 3 counts! Oh my!!!!!!!! Triple threat time for Vick. Even if he beats one count, he probably won't beat them all!!!! His career is crashing as we speak. All they have to do is tie him in moneywise and he is a goner!!! Folks been saying 2-3 game suspension, but I can't see anything less than a season suspension and maybe worse. Skins is right!!! 60 pitbulls would take a load of bread to feed, train, mate, etc. I doubt his lame ass cousin would have that type of dough. Vick is going to get nailed!!!!!! The Vick bros are total morons!!!!!

I think it's because Vick's name is on the property and someone is trying to make a name for themselves.

Last year all dogfighting cases are federal...that's what they said on SportsCenter

I'd like to see them take all of the clowns involved in this bullshit and put them in a pit with a few of those dogs. Let them see first hand how "entertaining" this stuff is.

Personally, even with the indictment, I don't see how Vick gets convicted. He's got too much money and can afford the attornies he needs to get off. Short of a video, photo, signed document or other "concrete evidence" there's no way they'll get him for this. There's just too much money that he can throw at this, whether it's paying off witnesses or whatever.

The indictment is available on ajc.com | Atlanta Journal-Constitution (or click here).

Vick will likely not get convicted, though it won't have to do with money or celebrity. Mike Vick is going to sing. Every athlete, businessman, and raconteur who has ever been near a pit with Vick should seek legal counsel.

I figured they would want to land the big fish. Days like today make me think the whole Karma thing is alive and well.

Does anyon know where the trial will be? I thought I heard that the indictment came down in New York? That couldn't be possible could it?

Nevermind. Eastern District of Virginia. He may walk if he doesn't decide to talk.

Wouldn't the raconteurs already be talking to the feds?

You are probably right that Vick will sing like a little "choir" girl. But who is to say that someone else that is involved to a point isn't doing a little "song and dance" of their own against Vick???

The real question is what will the NFL do?

just remember, "Huntin' is legal"

[djnemo65]

I hope they lock him up and throw away the key. I defended this guy as a player past the point that his performance on the field was defensible. But this is something that I have no sympathy for.

vick is a loser

What about the water bottle with the secret compartment in the airport...

Can we use some of his brother's crimes and forget the no suspension b/c repeat offender?

[Pocket$ $traight]

Anyone who thinks that Vick will do time over this, don't hold your breath or you will end up in the dirt like those stinkin' dogs.

I am sure that their star witnesses are upstanding citizens. Probably guys who have been busted for drugs or lost their family members money betting on the wrong dog.

Now, he may get suspended, but he will do 0 that is z e r o time.

Now the fact that Goodell would be out of line for him suspending a first time offender over this is a completely different argument.
