In the wake of two more defendants accepting plea agreements for their involvement in a seven state wide illegal gambling and dog-fighting ring, Michael Vick may soon reach a deal himself. If he does reach a plea agreement, Vick is likely to face jail time.
Vick’s motivation to enter a guilty plea is likely fueled by the U.S. Attorney’s Office announcement last month that it will seek a new “superseding” indictment against Vick by the end of August. With the cooperation of Vick’s three co-defendants, there will likely be new, and more specific, allegations against Vick. The federal grand jury in Richmond is expected to hand up that indictment sometime early next week.
Take the plea agreement Mike, face jail time and then try to slowly piece your life back together. Nobody’s listening to your cries for innocence anymore and even before the three other stoogies turned, the feds had enough to burry you. It’s time past due for your to serve your punishment like the rest of the human race. You’re not special, even though it appears all who has ever been around you as told you that you are.
If Vick does take the plea agreement and faces jail time, Roger Goodell should allow Atlanta enough time to make the decision on whether or not to release him. If Goodell suspends Vick the Falcons can’t cut him until the punishment is served, and that wouldn’t be fair to have to wait if they do indeed want to move on.
