OT: Mike Vick update
More info from another list... The judge presiding over this case, Judge Henry Hudson, is supposedly a harsh sentencer. The jail time being guestimated now is 12 - 18 months although he could get up to 5 yrs. The other people arrested in this scandal turned Vick in for setting up a gambling ring which could mean worse things for him in the sports world. Gambling on sport (no, I don't think dogfighting is a sport) is a huge No No in the sports world. Ironic, isn't it. He'll do time for the dogfighting but, at least what is being said now, is that his career may be ended due to the gambling...At least they got him. He should be forced to set up a sanctuary for animals and bank roll it for some number of years. That would be a nice addition to his sentence. -Karen susan dubose [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Susan J.

OT Mike Vick
I read all the information posted-thank you for being an advocate for animals of all kinds, not just our feline friends. I also passed on information to others.
RE: OT Mike Vick
I also just wanted to add, for those following this thread, that sometimes I forget I am a lawyer...well, today I remembered. Yesterday I mentioned that Vick should be made to pay for the care of the 52 seized dogs, of course thinking it would never happen. Well, one of the Virginia Code Sections he is charged with violating in the Grand Jury indictment (in general, it's the dog fighting for business/gambling statute), the penalty, if convicted,is a class 6 felony AND "the person convicted shall pay all reasonable costs incurred in housing or euthanizing any confiscated dogs." I am impressed that Virginia has such a comprehensive statute that covers that aspect in the penalty portion. Of course, this is just one of the charges handed down against him and it is a state statute- not a federal charge. I haven't gotten my way through all the charges (that will take a while), but that was certainly a punishment I was definitely hoping to see included and the good news is that it is. -Caroline From: "Malone" [EMAIL PROTECTED]Reply-To: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgTo: felvtalk@felineleukemia.orgSubject: OT Mike VickDate: Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:26:40 -0600 I read all the information postedthank you for being an advocate for animals of all kinds, not just our feline friends.

RE: OT Mike Vick
Michael Vick and his brother (I forget his name, but he, too is now playing pro ball I think) are thugs. One or both had serious legal infractions while at VA Tech (one had some type of statutory rape charge). And wasn't it Michael Vick the player who used the alias Ron Mexico and infected women with herpes? Clearly, nothing is beneath him. The NFL should ban players that engage is this type of conduct or they should not draft thugs. While I understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty I have no doubt that Michael Vick was a knowing participant in this disgusting behavior.

Re: OT Mike Vick
Although the is heresay, the source is reliable. A reputable pit bull breeder here in Va says that it is a known fact that Vick was involved in dog fighting. This person who still has pit bulls does not breed anymore. She and her husband always carefully screened buyers, but it is still hard to be 100% sure that the pups were going to a good home. They no longer sell pit bull dogs. Michael's brother's name is Marcus Vick. I am not sure what he(Marcus) is doing now. He was booted or suspended from Va Tech's football team due to the various legal problems including the rape charge and marajuanna possession. Sally
