It wasn't just some casual event as a previous poster mentioned. Allegedly, and it sounds very credible that the evidence is rock solid, he was involved in a brutal, inhumane activity that killed and maimed dogs against their will. “Poor guy.” Man, what have you been smokin’? In addition, if the gambling angle is ever proven, he will have committed yet another FEDERAL crime. That alone has major implications. Mike Vick is no poor soul my friend and a one year suspension would be getting off extremely light. However, I think he would be foolish if he were not to accept the plea. He could do his time, albeit a short term, get out and somehow try to get back into the good graces of the NFL (not likely). Or, and I would almost be willing to take the higher risk option, he could fight it in court. Remember, it would be a jury trial and he only has to convince one juror of his innocence. I guess we’ll know pretty soon what he decides to do, but Vick is no saint.
