Michael Vick Negotiating Plea Deal in Dog Fighting Case
As predicted here on The Fun Bunch Redskins Blog, Michael Vick is negotiating a plea deal with federal prosecutors in his dog fighting case. All the other defendants already took pleas and presumably agreed to work with prosecutors in convicting Michael Vick. If and when Michael Vick pleads guilty, he is expected to be sentenced to some time in prison, according to federal sentencing guidelines.
"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."
Ouch. Michael Vick is officially done as a football player. A very sad story for such a talented guy. He will be going to prison on federal charges. That is not good. Roger Goodell suspended Pacman Jones for makin' it rain. What do you think he'll do to Michael Vick for being convicted of a federal crime and going to prison. No team will touch him. He is done. Sayonara Michael Vick.
Buh-bye Michael. And since this is a football blog not a police blotter the hilarious thing is that it was one month before we started hearing about this that the Falcons traded away future pro bowl quarterback Matt Schaub!
