Michael Vick Officially Pleads Guilty

August 27, 2007


According to TMZ, Michael Vick has officially plead guilty to a federal dogfighting charge. Vick entered his guilty plea before a U.S. District Court judge in Richmond, VA. this morning.

U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson, who accepted Vick's plea, asked the QB, "Are you entering the plea of guilty to a conspiracy charge because you are in fact guilty?" Vick quickly answered, "Yes, sir." The judge replied, "You're taking your chances here. You'll have to live with whatever decision I make." Michael Vick's attorney announced that Vick would face the media around 8:30 AM PST.

Vick is now awaiting his sentence date, sources say he's facing some serious time in prison--but than again they said they same thing about Lohan.

UPDATE:

A statement from Vick:
"I was ashamed and totally disappointed in myself, to say the least. I want to apologize to all the young kids out there for my immature acts. What I did was very immature, so that means I need to grow up."

"I totally ask for forgiveness and understanding as I move forward to be a better Michael Vick the person, not the football player."

As for the NFL: Vick is suspended indefinitely.

Immature? Slight under-statement you ass wipe. "Immature" is making prank calls or laughing at ugly people -- not torturing animals.....

Isn't this Vick guy just incredibly amoral? He did tell the press dogfighting is "terrible" but he also peppered his address with things like "immature acts" and "bad judgment." That took away from any sense of contrition. He's trying to minimize what he's done. If he really was ashamed of the horrible cruelty he has been an integral part of, he would just say his actions were despicable, no hedging.

they only suspended him because of the pressure from all those organizations like PETA,etc. This guy is an incredible player they will not get rid of him.

And Vick has received a phone call from Mitt Romney about running with him on the GOP ticket next year. (joking)

ninja, the NFL has suspended him indefinitely without pay. the Falcons are reportedly looking into how to get back at least some of the massive signing bonus they paid him last year.
