Good point. That’s how they got Al Capone.

I want Vick definitely to go to jail for a long time, in addition to going bankrupt. Just to let him get off with a lighter sentence will not be sufficient in my book.

If he pleads guilty and spills the beans, or cuts a deal to keep himself out of jail and rolls over on Vick, Vick is going to prison.

1- What about the video that supposedly shows Vick at a dogfight? If that really exists and is allowed into evidence he’s toast. Video doesn’t lie, and you can’t argue with it. His claim of ignorance about this whole operation will evaporate faster than Lindsey Lohan’s booze at a party in the desert.

2- Follow the money? The finances of everyone who lived in the house will be examined. The care and keeping of 60+ dogs is not cheap. If his cousins and hangers-on that lived in the house didn’t earn enough money to foot the bills at that place it will be easy to prove who was paying the tab.

3- Follow the money a little more…What about the duffle bag with $23,000 in it? Did his cousins make enough money at their jobs to be able to cough up over $20,000 in cash? How strong is the evidence that Vick himself delivered the money to the owner of the winning dog?

4- How much time did he really spend away from that house? He had to have flown or driven to the place every time he went there. Credit card statements and eyewitness testimony can and will place him in the area on the dates the fights took place. Remember, he was feeling footloose and fancy-free then, not thinking about covering his tracks and keeping everything on the DL.

5- How cooperative are those cooperating witnesses anyway? A guy who makes a lot less money than Michael Vick and with a lot more to lose by being convicted and imprisoned over this case will be a bit more willing to throw him to the wolves, I’ll warrant. We don’t yet know what kind of damning evidence there is with these witnesses.

I’m sure there’s a lot more than what I’ve said here, but I’m tired. It’s like Cheryl says, his reputation is in tatters and he’ll pay for this one way or another. I’ve read that the black community in America is behind him and they still think he’s a great guy, but they don’t pay his bills and they don’t sign him on to lucrative contracts like Nike and Reebok and whoever else he’s worked for. Even if he doesn’t go to prison, he’s not going to be the hot item he used to be as far as the corporate fat cats are concerned.

Like Sharon said, “Justice is for sale in this country.”

Scooter is a friend of a friend of the president, and he kept his mouth shut and took the fall for the friend. And almost the only virtue GWB has is that he’s loyal to his friends. Now that every corporate entity that has had an interest in Vick is backing away from him as cash register poison, who is going to be Vick’s “friend?”

Celebrities never go to jail? Tell it to Martha Stewart. Heck, tell it to Paris Hilton.
