Vick

[Scav]

No way the government will give him less then a year, I hope they throw the book at him, and take it to a jury. They will fry him

Wow from the highest paid NFL player to a year in the slammer. You go, God.

I have resisted commenting on this for quite a while. The thing I really am most interested in knowing his how long they were keeping on eye on the goings on at this house. I know the area fairly well...this place out in Surry is completely in the middle of BFE.

I think there is some stuff going on that isn't being revealed involving the discovery of dogfighting, etc...

For what it's worth, Vick used to be a God here in Roanoke, but a great majority of the people have washed their hands of him...and rightfully so. I used to be a huge fan of him, but no longer.

It has been reported on ESPN that Federal Prosecutors have witnesses that are not even involved with this particular case. A whole slew of them. The Government now has the choke hold on as they might be able to bring even more charges if he does not deal.

If two of the guys have already accepted deals for more than a year (rumor), Vick is going to have to also. He was the $$ in the operation.

Pat....if Im not mistaken, wasnt the original story that the authorities "stumbled upon" this dogfighting when they went looking for another guy, that was living at the house, for unrelated drug charges?

I have a hard time believing that it happened like that. They went to that house, knowing what they were looking for....and that was evidence of dogfighting.

ESPN radio was reporting that time was running out for vick to accept the plea deal. end of business today.
monday the racketeering charges are to come down. if thats the case vick could be looking at 2-6 years.
have you guys read the accounts of the other defendents yet?
before the first raid they hung several "under performing" dogs. a couple survived the hanging and were dround in 5 gal buckets of water.
there CAN'T be enough bad stuff happen to these guys, including vick!

his cousin was arrested for drugs, and listed that house as his address. they served a search warrant for drugs, and found all the dog fighting stuff. at least, that's what was reported originally.
BUT then it came out that people had called in the past about the house and alleged dog fighting.
