His plea was accepted. Leaked grand jury testimony is not evidence. There wasn't a trial or hearings. Vick did not present witnesses or cross-examine anyone. Prosecutors talking big don't mean squat.

I'll give Vick an A+ for his statement.
I made mistakes, I acted immature. I've learned my lesson. Seems he also did it unscripted. He also didn't deny a thing to the public.
Now it comes down to what he said to the judge.

Originally posted by poundleeWhat the hell does Bill Clinton have to do with anything? You really need to focus your comments.
Bill Clinton is sneaking around the white house using secret service to help him have an affair and lies to Congress all is forgiven and his wife can be the leading candidate for president. Michael Vick smacks around a dog or two and lies to the commisioner and the Falcons owner and these self richous people might decide he's unfit to be in the NFL.

[b]It's at least a five year history of animal abuse. At least five years of criminal activity.
And if that wasn't scripted I don't know what was. That had more cheezy lines than the movie Grease.
