Vick has chance to avoid jail cell

"There is a realistic possibility that Michael Vick may never see the inside of a prison cell," according to federal sentencing specialist and veteran federal criminal defense attorney Patrick A. Mullin. "In reviewing Michael Vick's plea agreement, a great deal of attention has been placed on Vick's anticipated cooperation with federal authorities, and that brings with it the potential of a much lighter sentence. In fact, if Vick provides substantial assistance, the plea agreement stipulates that the government can request a reduced sentence, which, if granted, may result in no prison time at all. This gives him a major incentive to work with the government to build cases against major players in dog fighting," Mullin said. -- Law Firm of Patrick A. Mullin

Re: Vick has chance to avoid jail cell

On Access last night, that lawyer dude from the NFL said there was no chance of a reduced sentence for Vick. Also, the judge is supposedly a dog owner.
If he rats on the other players who are involved in dogfighting, then maybe he will need to take a long trip somewhere. I dont think it would be too safe for him here, much less in the NFL

Re: Vick has chance to avoid jail cell

It's tricky. What kind of info does he have on others. If he does, are there other NFL players or pro athletes at all? If so, he has a big decision to make.

Re: Vick has chance to avoid jail cell

From PFT

GARDNER GONE FROM K.C.
On Monday, a first-round pick from the 2001 draft saw his career suffer a major blow after pleading guilty to federal conspiracy charges relating to dog fighting.

I wonder how many more are involved. Mort from ESPN implied as many as 4 or 5 per NFL team may be involved.

Could this turn into "Dog Gate"
