Two more of Michael Vick’s co-defendants have plead guilty in the dog fighting case and implicated Vick. Those co-defendants are the last two that were charged with Vick in the dog fighting charges that lead to the federal indictments. Vick with have to cut a deal or face federal charges. He is also faced with federal racketeering charges which could result in him being banned from the NFL for life.
Vick has a deadline today for making a decision as to whether or not he will take a plea deal.
His two co-defendants added statements of fact, not part of the plea deal, stating that Vick was the primary financier of the dog fighting operation, making Vick the ‘ring-leader’ so to speak. They also admit that they along with Vick executed dogs that did not perform well. In the statement of fact they stated they watered dogs down and electrocuted them. He is implicated in the execution of at least eight dogs as per the confessions of his co-defendants.
If he were anyone other than a multi-millionaire celebrity, he would not even have the option of a plea deal after having three co-defendants testifying against him.
Stick a fork in him. He’s done.

It’s awful, no doubt, what Vick did. But come on, we systematically kill animals in this country in torturous and terrible ways. Why does no one care about that? http:// http://www. unboundedition. com/content/view/1676/50/
It’s because people want to go after a black, thuggish dude like Vick. Case closed.

Barney - that’s a tired old argument. Should he get preferential treatment because he’s a multi-millionaire who can throw a football? I don’t think so.
