Michael Vick Turns Himself in to the Feds - PIC

ESPN reports,

quote3.jpgAtlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick surrendered to U.S. marshals Monday, three weeks before his sentencing on a dogfighting charge, and was being held in a regional jail. Vick is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 10 on the dogfighting conspiracy charge, but turned himself in because he was anticipating a prison term, according to a court document. Vick could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.

“From the beginning, Mr. Vick has accepted responsibility for his actions, and his self-surrender further demonstrates that acceptance,” Billy Martin, one of Vick’s lawyers, said in a statement. “Michael wants to again apologize to everyone who has been hurt in this matter and he thanks all of the people who have offered him and his family prayers and support during this time.” Vick is being held at Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw until his sentencing, U.S. marshals told The Associated Press. The mixed-gender facility houses about 450 inmates.

We know why he turned himself in early, as to look good for the courts. He knows he’s caught and he’s in a heap of trouble. This is a lame attempt at leniency.

Vick sucks and deserves to go to jail! Whether or not people like pit bulls, the fact of the matter is that it is still a living thing. Animal Cruelty Sucks and so does Vick! Jacka$$!

Looks like Michael might spend more time in prison than he thought based on the sentences handed down today to the others involved. Having been to federal prison, I hope that when this is over Michael might use his energy to help others understand that every choice has a consequences. http://www.chuckgallagher.com
