Vick INDICTED!

[lizbud]

What's next? Can it get any worse for Vick?
Yes, it could get worse in a hurry. The federal prosecutors in Richmond are preparing a new set of charges, known in legal terms as a superseding indictment. The new charges could come any day. The new charges might include a racketeering allegation under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (known as RICO). RICO originally was designed as a weapon against organized-crime hoodlums but has been used frequently in other prosecutions. A charge under RICO would make Vick's situation significantly worse. It would make the government's case against him easier to prove, and it would increase the prison sentence Vick would face if convicted.
hurray!

This was hinted at from the beginning & I'm so glad these investigaters
managed to amass so much damaging evidence in this case.Most dogfighters
hide in the shadows of society, but this Vick case was so blatant.

Just In....

Vick's looking for a deal - Guilty and one year in the pokey.

I can't find this report on the news sites.

A ONE year sentence means he can slip out in about 3 or 4 MONTHS -
not nearly enough Time in the Pokey for what he's done!

I'd sure HOPE the Feds hold out for MORE Pokey Time, some really BIG $$$s,
and that he plead guilty to the FELONY charges.

Now, tell us one more time, Mikey, how "innocent" you are.

GO, US Attorneys!!

I hope Vick doesn't cave for a plea. He'll get buried at trial.

One lousy year is not nearly enough for this scumbag.

Hey Mikey ~~ Did'ja read THIS?

"Vick's problems don't end with the federal case.
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution newspaper reported that Virginia state
officials plan to prosecute the star for animal cruelty and dogfighting.

"The execution of these animals — and the manner in which they were executed — is startlingly offensive and demanding of prosecution," Virginia Commonwealth Attorney Gerald Poindexter said."

And if the Feds follow through on their rumored addition of Federal Racketeering charges;
ole Mikey may be be looking at 20 years in the slammer!

WOOF!

From the WSBTV -

ATLANTA -- The Atlanta Humane Society said they are receiving donations from across the country -- and you’ll never guess what people are sending.

More than a dozen Michael Vick jerseys have been sent to AHS, and they are putting them to good use.

“When I first saw them, I was kind of shocked. I was like, ‘Why do they have Vick jerseys here,’ said Julie Sentner.

Vick is innocent until proven guilty, but his association when men pleading guilty to federal dog fighting charges makes the number 7 jersey an unexpected find at the Atlanta Humane Society.
“At first we were like, ‘I wonder what we’re going to use this for,” said P.J. Smith with AHS.

And the jerseys kept coming. About a dozen or so jerseys were sent from people wanting to make good from a bad situation. In fact, the Humane Society is getting flooded with e-mails about Vick.

So what are volunteers doing with the jerseys?

“We discovered like any donation we get, any shirt or towel, we put it to good use here at Atlanta Humane Society. We’re always using things to clean kennels, use for bedding and stuff like that,” said Smith.
Did she say cleaning kennels?

“We’re not showing any favoritism to these jerseys, they go into our general rotation of towels,” Smith said.

One dog is using his Vick jersey as a pillow.

“As long as they’re being used for good, then that’s great. If they’re using them to make dogs more comfortable or to clean up after them, then that’s fine,” said Sentner.

Of course, the Vick jerseys being donated mean a lot more to the people than to the puppies -- they’re just loving all the attention.
