"When the SCLC gathers this week to honor the legacy of Martin Luther King Jr., and the promise of Barack Obama, the presence of at least one more major figure will loom large – Michael Vick.
*
During a press conference announcing the opening of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference's 49th annual convention to celebrate the organization's 50th year, president Charles Steele noted that the organization would find some way to honor and recognize the embattled Falcon's quarterback who is under federal indictment on dogfighting charges.

"We will work with anyone who opens their heart and arms to us," said Steele"

Interesting, 77% of those taking the poll on the ajc say the SCLC Is "out of their mind".
 
*That's nothing new, the SCLC has been out of their minds for decades. They have no credibility with anyone that matters. Vick can take their little honorarium and $4.00 and get himself a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

Atleast the SCLC believes in the presumtion of innocence while all the white affluent professionals of the ATL 'burbs continue to seem to want to treat Vick as if he's been convicted of raping and murdering a white woman.

Press Release - Vick Dog Chew Toy

Vick Dog Chew Toy
www.vickdogchewtoy.com

Jacksonville, Fl. Aug. 3rd - As the Michael Vick dog fighting scandal continues to unfold we find ourselves trying to figure out why a multi-million dollar NFL superstar would put himself in this type of position. That question can not be answered as of yet and may or may not ever be answered. After authorities raided a house owned by Vick on April 25 and found 66 dogs and a pit usually used in dog fights, Vick has finally been indicted by a Federal Grand Jury and will face trial soon.

While most of us have turned a blind eye to this underground world of dogfighting, Michael Vick has helped to blow the doors wide open on this problem. There are now more people responding to the horrible situation that many of these animals have been subjected to.

Now a new type of retribution has been created to give every dog a little pay-back. The Vick Dog Chew Toy will be available for delivery on August 7th and will hopefully help open the eyes of many others. This has been created to help the Humane Society shed some light on this horrendous sport of dogfighting. Each person now has the opportunity to buy a dog chew toy that will help other animals live a better life than those poor dogs that were found on April 25th.

The most rewarding part of The Vick Dog Chew Toy is that a portion of the proceeds are being donated to the Jacksonville Humane Society to help spread awareness of this terrible phenomenon.

Individual orders will start being filled on August 7th with the hopes of providing bulk delivery very soon after. The release date for bulk orders has not yet been determined.


Any questions or orders can be directed through www.vickdogchewtoy.com

On Sportscenter they just said the remaining two co-indictees are going to cop pleas sometime this week. Vick is toast.
 
Will they turn states evidence?
Will they throw their boy Ookie under the bus??

Stay tuned for another episode of "As the Kennel Turns"......

The two remaining co-defendants in the Michael Vick federal dog fighting case scheduled a plea agreement hearing Monday, an indication that they will plead guilty and testify against Vick.

Purnell Peace has a hearing set for 9 a.m. Thursday and Quanis L. Phillips has a hearing set for 9 a.m. Friday in U.S. District Court in Richmond, Va., before District Judge Henry E. Hudson.

Last month, the third co-defendant Tony Taylor accepted a deal and entered a guilty plea. The agreement required him to testify against the others.

"There's no telling until the actual pleas, but this doesn't sound like good news for Michael Vick," said Kent Alexander, once the U.S. Attorney in Atlanta and now Emory University's general counsel. "Usually, if people plead guilty early in a case they may be cooperating with the government. That's what it sounds like here."

Taylor, who along with Vick pleaded not guilty to the charges July 26, promised to cooperate with federal prosecutors and share "detailed facts" for their case against Vick, Peace and Phillips.

Taylor also signed a 13-page statement of facts outlining the charges against him, Vick and the two others, stating they are "true and accurate" and that had Taylor's case gone to trial prosecutors could have proved "these facts beyond a reasonable doubt."

Judge Hudson set Taylor's sentencing date for Dec. 14. Vick, Peace and Phillips' trial date was set for Nov. 26 before Hudson.

They face up to five years in prison and $250,000 in fines. Prosecutors could recommend a lighter sentence for Taylor depending on how cooperative he is, legal experts said, and that is why the court set Taylor's sentencing for a date after the trial.

Rolling over
 
I think Vick is guilty as sin, but the prosecutor may want Vick no matter what (look at Nifong) and is willing to except any story that guys will cough up for plea bargins.

Vick could be innocent (small chance) but getting sold up the river by a few jokers and a prosecutor.

The differance is this is a federal prosecutor not some hack wanting to be re-elected.
 
Time to cue up a little CCR.....Proud Mary

Rollin, Rollin, Rollin on the River.. (Shake it TINA!)

They are rollin on Vick big time now and I look for it to be like a snowball rolling down hill....just keeps getting bigger with more folks coming forward to protect themselves before they get crushed.

If it weren't the Feds after him, he MIGHT stand a chance, but with the Feds, the odds are real small of getting out of this jam and his posse is rollin over for them. Not looking good for Ron Mexico.
 
All credit to Gary Varvel. You can goggle him and check out more of his work.

I got this from another site and gave credit to who created it.
 
Now, now....Vick hasn't been "proven guilty in a court of law"...just like Barry Bonds, 'eh SWT? :hmmm:
 
Vick attorneys negotiating plea
Falcons QB would serve prison time if agreement reached

By D. ORLANDO LEDBETTER, BILL RANKIN
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Published on: 08/14/07

Michael Vick's attorneys are engaged in plea negotiations with federal prosecutors and the Falcons quarterback could reach an agreement before new dogfighting charges are handed down next week, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations.

The negotiations follow news that two more of Vick's three co-defendants are scheduled to enter guilty pleas later this week as part of a deal with prosecutors.

Collins Spencer, a spokesman for Vick's lawyers, declined to comment Tuesday on any possible negotiations.

He added that Vick did not meet with his attorneys last night but said they will have a conference call with Vick this morning and may have an announcement this afternoon. Spencer did not indicate what the announcement would be.

On Monday Spencer said the legal team was "very surprised" by the pleas from Purnell Peace and Quanis Phillips and said they would not affect plans to move forward toward a Nov. 26 trial.

Vick's lead attorney, Billy Martin, could not be reached for comment.

If the announcement is that Vick has reached a plea agreement, the embattled star quarterback is expected to be sentenced to some time in prison, according to federal sentencing guidelines.

Take it like a man Vick
 
this is all coming together quite nicely now.

I would give almost anything to listen in on that conference call vick has with his attorneys...
 
I think regardless of the plea deal now, Vick is done with football. There is so much evidence against him, not to mention all his buds are copping pleas, there is a tiny percentage he gets off free.

Scenario 1: Vick opts to take the plea
A plea is an admission of guilt so therefore he is banned from the NFL for life. He goes to prison for a reduced sentence.

Scenario 2: He does not take the plea and is found guilty
He goes to prison for a prolonged stay and banned from the NFL.

Scenario 3: He does not take the plea and is found not guilty
He returns to spot as the main man in Atlanta.

Scenario 3 is going to be the longshot in my opinion. With so much going against him I just don't really see a jury finding him innocent. It could happen, but I think there is a small, maybe 1% chance it happens. Most likely he is done with football.
 
I'd guess a minimum of 3 years at Club Fed....And if Vick "cooperates" in other Dogfighting Investigations the Feds have going on, they will reduce the sentence.

Of course, if he cooperates, he might as well go into the Witness Protection Program.

%$#^& You mean &^#$^&*ing years??? Oh *(($#$ !

Feds better be watching him because he might try to "scramble" out of the country...
 
Where are the Vick apologists? Their silence is very telling. What happened to the bold predictions: no suspensions, Vick would QB the falcons this year, no jail time, the Feds have no case, it is just dogs no big deal, etc.

I hope Vick is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
 
Here is another POS Falcon dog story...

Quarterback Michael Vick isn't the only Atlanta Falcon with legal trouble involving dogs.

A felony animal-cruelty case against defensive tackle Jonathan Babineaux is still winding through the legal process. Police charged Babineaux in February in connection with the death of "Kilo," a pit bull-mix owned by his girlfriend.

Investigators say Babineaux killed the dog.

Babineaux's girlfriend, Blair Anderson, said she and Babineaux argued on Feb. 18 and that Babineaux later suggested she return home to check on the dog. Anderson told police she found Kilo in "severe physical distress" and took it to the Animal Emergency Center of Gwinnett near Lawrenceville.

Hospital officials summoned police after pronouncing Kilo dead.

Care to place some sort of wager on either?

It does not look good for your man Vick. His codefendants are racing to the court house to get their deals.
 
He may not do any jail time per se, but if he cops to a plea, it really makes Roger Goddell's decision to kick him out - very, very easy.

So Ron Mexico, will you be playing for the Roughriders, the Stampeders or the Alouettes??
