Should Michael Vick take the plea deal or what?

Yes, he should.

The problem is, the worst of the charges haven't even been placed yet. If he was financing a gambling ring that involved commerce across states lines, that will doom his NFL career and bring more jail time.

When all this hit the fan, he should have gone front and center and tried to hit it head on. Take his medicine. I think the court of public opinion would respect that he owned up to his mistakes, and he was trying to stand correct.

Now, his co-conspirators are turning on him, and his opportunities for a happy solution are fading away.

He'll be fine at the end of the day, but it might cost him hist future as an athlete.

i think of you're good, and incorrect. you're good, he could see penal complex time, and probable extra desirable than what he could ultimately get. even with the incontrovertible fact that, the "good" deal relatively isn't. The Richmond Time-Dispatch is reporting that the deal federal prosecutors are offering Vick incorporates a minimum of one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days in penal complex. Coincidentally, one 3 hundred and sixty 5 days is the utmost sentence for the truthfully dogs scuffling with cost. The "six 3 hundred and sixty 5 days" determine it relatively is been interior the information incorporates as much as 5 years on separate, appropriate expenses coping with interstate return and forth. the priority I see the prosecutor having for this reason is the actuality that the first public of the testimony is going to be from people who've already made plea agreements; whose character and credibility could properly be referred to as into judgement. For the federal prosecutor, offering a plea that incorporates each and all the time he could have spent in penal complex for the main important offense looks altogether life like whilst measured against the time and value of an ordeal and weighed against the prospect that he won't be discovered to blame. it is, of direction, if he ultimately takes the deal. i've got no longer heard one way or the different yet if he has or will.

Unless he's retarded (which is a possibility) he'd better. If he tries to fight this his jail time could be 2-3 times what he'll get with a plea. There are now eight federal witnesses prepared to testify against him. Three of them are his co-defendents. That doesn't look very good for him. I don't think he can scramble out of this one. Regardless of what happens he's done in the NFL for at least 2 years. Any team that will take him after that is crazy...Uh oh...Hello Raiders....

That is NOT the deal - stop saying that! That is the deal Vick's lawyers want! He needs to do at least 2 years including good time. The Feds are thinking about slapping a RICO act on him that could give him over 20 years! This one year max crap is just that! :(

If he wants to play in the NFL anytime soon he should. If he doesn't lose a massive amount of time someone will give him another shot. The way the evidence is mounting against him right now, a plea would really seem like a smart idea.

I hope he does not because he will get more jail time when he doesn't and then they find him guilty. I want to see him being in prison a couple of years being passed around like a cigarette lol

If he doesn't, he could tack on as many as 4 years in jail. Only a fool would do that. Then again this was the player with the richest contract in football who risked it all for his depraved passion of dog fighting . . .and they said Marcus was the dumb one?

Ugh.. The whole case disgusts me.

Someone who abuses animals, let alone uses them in such an illegal community/ring, should get more then just one year of jail time. I think that they should get the same amount of time if they had abused a child, rather then an animal. I hope he would just rot in jail.

From what I am hearing, he can only shorten his jail time by making a plea of guilty, therefore a quicker return to the NFL if the comish will allow him back.

Yes - if he wants to get out of jail before he is 35.
