The Feds and State (correctly IMO) jumped in to make sure this was prosecuted correctly and Vick & crew punished. When Poindexter saw the public opinion going against him and he had a re-election coming up is when he changed his tune and piled-on.

Exactly. Poindexter was pretty belligerant with reporters about investigating the case until the feds stepped in. He said there wasn't anything to the case and practically refused to investigate. He looked like the idiot that he is when charges were pressed by the feds.
