Michael Vick maybe toast

Posted on: July 30th, 2007 by ecthompson md No Comments

Co-defendent rolls over.  It doesn't look good for Vick.  The legal analyst is correct.  What is Vick's lawyer doing?  If Vick is innocent then he needs to have Vick on every talk show discussing what a great guy he is.  If Vick is guilty, then he needs to push Vick to plead.

The NAACP has scheduled a press conference for later on this afternoon.  I'm guessing that they are going to supporting Michael Vick.  I'm kinda wondering why would the NAACP get involved in this case?  Michael Vick is not some poor day laborer or assembly line worker who can't speak for himself.   This is a very strange move.

Finally, I would like to say again, that Vick is innocent until proven guilty.

REalityCheck - I would also argue that a guilty man would behave differently. If I were guilty and had Vick's moolah, I would have been plea bargaining ever since they raided the place. The publicity would have been squashed. Community service, a fine and probation? Something like that. Thanks for your comments.

How blind can a fan be? Fan or not, this guy deerves what he's going to be getting. If you were in the same situation, you wouldn't stand a chance. An innocent man would behave differently, especially with so much on the line, $$$$.

Sorry dude, but I think your boy Vick better start practicing The Art of SoapHolding. He is about to do some serious time.

So just last week I sign up for the Maricopa County chapter of the NAACP after an excellent post about the national convention on this site. Then I turn on Sportscenter to see the head of the Atlanta NAACP jumping into the Michael Vick fray. How this helps the advancement of colored people, I'm missing it. Can I get a refund?

He is innocent until proven guilty. But because it happened on his property is he still not responsible for part of the crime? Which would ruin him anyways in alot of peoples mind. He visited the property with all the dogs there.He knew they were raising vicious dogs. But he should have looked into why.
