The prosecutor investigating the alleged dog fighting ring conducted at one of Michael Vick’s homes in Surry County Virginia has commented that there isn’t enough evidence to tie Vick to the allegations.
“I know everybody is saying, ‘When are those fools in Surry County going to get up off their butts and do something?'” Gerald Poindexter told The Virginian-Pilot of Norfolk on Wednesday. “But what are we going to do?”
Poindexter said there are no eyewitnesses who say they saw dogfighting at the home where 66 dogs were seized along with equipment that could be associated with dog fighting. The discoveries were made during a drug raid at the home on April 25.
This doesn’t mean Poindexter or any other investigator still won’t find evidence linking Vick to the supposed crime. It’s amazing, however, how so many national reports have already insinuated Vick is guilty, yet nobody can actually come up with hard evidence. My guess is that unless one of his boys rolls over on him, I doubt these investigators are ever going to have enough tangible evidence to actually charge Vick. That’s sad if he is indeed guilty, which by all accounts – through the media at least – he appears to be. Although, considering I’m not even remotely close to the situation, who am I to judge? The boys on the Duke Lacrosse team appeared to be guilty too now didn’t they?
