Vick: Dog Fighting?

Question

Im confused. Is dog fighting where Vick is aucually fighting dogs or where he is allowing dogs to fight

Answer 1

both......

Answer 2

Because the way the law on dogfighting works it truly doesnt matter what role anyone involved has...they all end up with the same penalty. Even if Vick was never there to witness, bet or participate if he is proven to knowingly allowed the activity on his property he will face the same felony charges as anyone who gets charged. The fact that the feds jumped in on this one doesnt bode well for Vick...they normally have the cowboy mentality and will do anything they can to get a conviction. The only reason they pulled the rug from under the local authorities is they must have come up with some compelling evidence somewhere and will use the findings to trumpet themselves....it is the norm at the FBI level.
