Look's like Vick's done. Pleading guilty.

[BadgerLaw2010]

CNBC headline, no link yet.

Earlier CNN link that prosecutors wanted 18-36 months for him.

Edit: Story updated on the fly, now includes that he's pleading guilty.

29. The man is despicable. We're messing up the planet big time,

and the animals will suffer along with us for our stupidity. Someone who deliberately inflicts pain on helpless creatures is beneath contempt. A life sentence at hard labor for such behavior would suit him just fine.

[DainBramaged]

2. There's a link on MSNBC

And the judge has already given notice he isn't constrain by the prosecutors recommended penalties.


Dum da dum dum daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.

[devilgrrl]

3. "prosecutors wanted 18-36 months..."

How about 18-36 YEARS??? I'd like to see that.

[tularetom]

6. I'd settle for 18-36 months for EACH dog he killed

to be served consecutively.

[Mutineer]

4. Good.

Now if they could just drop him in a pen with a bunch of pitt bulls, I think justice would be served.

[anniebelle]

10. ah, sweet justice! n/t

[Tansy_Gold]

18. Not with mine!

She would lick him to pieces, or maybe give him a few bruises with her wiggling tail, but she'd never harm a hair on his head.

I'd rather he serve 18-36 months as a volunteer in an animal shelter and learn the unconditional love a dog returns day after day after day after day.



Tansy Gold, being an idealist today

20. "I'd rather he serve 18-36 months as a volunteer in an animal shelter"

I like your idea :hi:

[Madspirit]

26. NORMALLY

Normally I would agree with you but this man's a full-fledged sociopath. The animals at the shelter don't need to be around someone like him.

5. everytime I see pictures of those dogs

I have nightmares :cry:

[SaveElmer]

7. I know how ya feel...

We have 4 rescue dogs ourselves and volunteer for a no-kill rescue organization...

Really makes my blood boil thinking about it...

[napi21]

8. Well, so much for all those Vick supporters who yelled at us because

they just KNEW he was innocent!

[SaveElmer]

9. I hope Virginia goes after him too....

In any case his career is over...even if he is reinstated who's gonna want him...

[emilyg]

13. Disgusting man.

[underpants]

14. Va. says that they are but I wouldn't say his career is over

If he can play someone will give him a shot.

Also-he is probably taking the plea partly because it will cut down on what could be a massive legal bill. He has a lot of money so I don't expect him to end up broke.

Va. Commonwealth Attorneys says that they will seek an indictment from a state grand jury that is about to convene.

17. Maybe Oakland will take him

:P

[TZ]

30. If the NFL goes after him on the GAMBLING

hes will never play again.

[underpants]

32. Okay that is true

the NFL has been tireless in keeping gambling as far away as possible.

Karras and Hornung has to sit a year for just being around gamblers. Namath had to sell his share of a restaurant. ESPN is only allowed to mention "the spread" in one segment (Hank whatshisname) in the program BEFORE NFL Countdown and so on. That is one thing that Rozelle established concretely from day one and it was simplistic genius.

[Kingshakabobo]

11. "The NFL is considering what, if any, sanctions they should impose"

Considering? If any?

How about a lifetime ban for the fucking scumbag?

[devilgrrl]

12. Well, at least there's no alcohol allowed at NFL events. They have their priorities in order...

:sarcasm:

[SeattleGirl]

16. Exactly. What's to consider? n/t

[TZ]

31. considering the NFL has a current player

that served jail time for killing people in DWI incident, don't count on it.

[gorekerrydreamticket]

15. My prediction...

When the allegations were first made, I predicted that Michael Vick would be a homeless man within three years. I still think that's about right...

[Virginia Dare]

19. He did a great job of throwing his life away, that's for sure...n/t

[wicket]

21. GOOD

[indepat]

22. Say it ain't so Michael

[Highway61]

23. YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

assmunch...I hope his prison mate LOVES animals!

[Blue-Jay]

24. .

[CabalPowered]

25. Did anyone watch the HBO Real Sports edition on this?

I would support a war on animal cruelty.

:grr:

[Madspirit]

27. Great News!!...k&r...n/t

[lonestarnot]

28. Yeah!

:applause: Maybe no more dog fights on TV... :sarcasm:
