So I foolishly wasted almost an entire day waiting to see if Michael Vick would take a plea agreement for charges stemming from illegal gambling and dog fighting. Annnnddd I’m still waiting…
Apparently Vick is still weighing his options. What options he’s weighing, I have no idea, but he continues to dig a deeper hole (no insensitive pun intended) for himself. One of his co-defendants has already stated that Vick, “helped drown dogs” and I’m sure more specific information is ready to come out. Three out of the four co-defendants have taken plea deals and admitted guilt, so what Vick is waiting for I have no clue.
If he fights this I hope they lock him up for longer than five years, which is now possible, by the way, with the state of Virginia set to proceed with their own charges. If you’re insensitive to fight and kill dogs, and then even dumb enough not take a lesser sentence when one’s on the table, you deserve the worst punishment prosecutors can hand out. And actually, you deserve the worst punishment that can be doled out, just for being insensitive enough to fight and kill the dogs.
