Michael Vick to plea guilty to dog-fighting charges

New developments in the Michael Vick case have surfaced.

According to the The Virginian-Pilot, "Michael Vick plans to plead guilty to state dogfighting charges in an effort to get an early release from federal prison and enter a halfway house, according to papers filed in Surry County Circuit Court.

If the plea deal goes as planned, it would help Vick overcome several obstacles in his goal to return to professional football next year.

Vick’s attorneys filed papers in the Circuit Court seeking permission to let Vick plead guilty via video-conference call from the federal prison in Leavenworth, Kan., where he is serving a two-year term for dog fighting.

The papers say that Vick needs to resolve his state charges before he can be eligible for entry into a halfway house. Vick’s scheduled release date is July 20 and the soonest he could enter a program is six months before that."

I hope this all works for him. While I do believe he had no business taking part in dog-fighting, I think his punishment was a little harsh.

Good luck with that...
