Courtesy of the Associated Press today Michael Vick's Attorney released this statement today. "After consulting with his family over the weekend, Michael Vick asked that I announce today that he has reached an agreement with federal prosecutors regarding the charges pending against him," lead defense attorney Billy Martin said in a statement. "Mr. Vick has agreed to enter a plea of guilty to those charges and to accept full responsibility for his actions and the mistakes he has made. Michael wishes to apologize again to everyone who has been hurt by this matter."
Vick's plea hearing will be Aug. 27, Martin said. The offense is punishable by up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, although federal sentencing guidelines most likely would call for less. By pleading guilty to dogfighting charges Vick's NFL career in my opinion is over. Its sad that such a good talent brother like Vick has his career done and over due to stupidity. Vick being in the spotlight had a repretation to uphold and should not have associated himself with people that obviously was out to bring him down. Michael Vick was the 1st pick in the 2001 NFL draft coming out of Viginia Tech he Passed for 11505 Yds and had 71 Touch Downs in his career.
