If he gets enough black jurors, some of whom would not find him guilty if he came right out and said:" I did these things the feds have accused me of!"; this is the OJ scenario all over again, do you think it will happen?

If the police BLOW it as badly as those incompetent sots in the LAPD did for the OJ trial, he deserves to get off.
Remember, in every trial, it's not only the DEFENDANT who's on trial, it's the police EVIDENCE and their handling of it.
It was not OJ's jury that blew the case, it was the LAPD and mostly Mark "The Fuhrer" Fuhrman.
If he's really guilty and the cops have their criminological act together, he's going down.

Who knows. I hope not. I watched the whole OJ trial and I would have convicted him on DNA alone! That was a travesty!
But then, the white rich go Scott free everyday as well! They just aren't NFL players!
And coragraph, I would not call it jury nullification! That generally happens when a law is involved that people disagree with, not when personalities or money are involved. They buy the best justice that money can buy, or lack thereof as the case may be! I could be wrong. but that was always my understanding of the term!

It could. Jurors are not known as the brightest folks on earth. Heck, they could not get off jury duty. And OJ is a prime example. I doubt if the prosecutors allow such a tainted jury to sit. It will have to be diverse.
Old saying: If you are innocent, allow the judge to hear your case. If you are guilty, go to jury trial.

Anybody who has a bit of intelligence and respect for life, animal or human will find this man guilty. There is enough evidence of the salvage and horrible treatment that the poor animals received in vick's property. hanging? electrocuting,? just because they lost ? what about if we apply the same treatment to him and his partners when they lose games? what will the people think of us?
I really hope and pray that vick receives the punishment he deserves. Ban him fromplaying football for ever and the longest jail time that can be applied would be the right sentence.

Uh, the white people on the OJ jury decided he was "not guilty", too. Anyway, no, I seriously doubt race will have any impact on this case.

Jury nullification is always possible, but I doubt race will be the primary factor.
