Mike Vick Seeking Plea Deal

If you aren't already familiar with this case, Michael Vick is being charged with conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities, and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture. All three of his co-defendants have now flipped and plan to plead out. Those plea deals now allow them to testify against Vick if he indeed does not plead out himself. According to recent news breaks Vick and his attorneys have met with federal prosecutors in order to negotiate a deal that would include Vick serving under a year in prison. Sources speaking to ESPN have said that Vick's attorneys have insisted he takes the deal if it indeed shortens his jail time to under a year.

I would include the details of the indictment but I can't because I literally get sick. Everyone has been talking about due process and innocent until proven guilty. Well, from what I have read recently, it looks as if Vick is going to save everyone the trouble and admit that he's a despicable human being and plead out. You could've smoked weed, had a gambling problem, or even been addicted to hookers, but you had to have a woody for seeing dogs tear each other apart. You and everyone else who is involved in the disgusting act that is dog fighting should be pariah ed.
