Have you seen Vick say a peep? If you were completely innocent and were astonished by the charges, wouldn't you say something? Even if it were just "just wait until you see I'm innocent." He has nothing to say, not because lawyers tell him not to talk, but because he is guilty. He hopes for the smallest chance that he will get by the accusations, but know he won't. Can't you people read body language? Just look at his guilt all over his face. Once you are indicted you are basically super ******. Mark my words that when a real trial comes and the evidence has to be put on the table, they will have him colder than they do now. Probably some pics from a camera phone or something. The inside man from the FBI said he saw him and you think the FBI can just bullshit their way through it all. Do you know what is on the line for all the people accusing him falsely? Just want everyone to know there is no need to post anymore questions like these. Is Vick innocent? What do you tnink about Vick?

He actually DID call in yesterday to a radio show. But it was really 'too little too late'. Up until then he had basically been in hiding, according to a news source here in Atlanta. I can understand the hiding because there are numerous fans here who would like to get their hands on him, but his silence up until yesterday spoke volumes. He did not discuss the case, nor claim innocence or guilt, but he DID apologise to Arthur Blank and Atlanta for what he has put them through. He thanked his 'supporters' and said he hoped to play for the falcons again.
I am aware that an attorney would advise him to not make any statements, but if I was a public figure accused of something this heinous and I was INNOCENT, I would have spoken out anyway, long before yesterday. I could not have controlled myself, I would have been so very angry at the people who had put me in that position and angry about the charge. And I don't care WHAT an attorney says, if you are innocent, there couldn't be anything wrong with going public and stating your innocence. Now, if you are GUILTY, then that's another story. Once you are found guilty, or cop a plea then people could refer back to your outrage at being charged and say what a liar you were. I believe that tells the tale right there.

He's not saying anything because he has lawyered up, and the lawyers have told him that the worst thing he can do for his case is to go public. The interviewers are not going to be "friendly", and even if they are, the sound bites that can come out of even the most benign interview can be devastating to the outcome of the trial.

From what I've heard so far, chances are he'll likely be convicted. In either case, he's completely ruined his athletic career. Good riddance. I hope this & the other offseason incidents serves as the foundation for the NFL players to start cleaning their off-the-field antics up; as it makes soccer players look much better.

When it first surfaced, management through their attorneys advised him to not speak about the incident. When in a contract and taking in the seriousness of the matter. He finally used wisdom. The media through their usual parasitic and money hungry intentions have taken it for all its worth like everything else they report. Freedom of the press is about the right to express truth, and not opinions. With that said I can assuredly say with confidence, that is the main problem with our country.

What is there really to say? Think about what he's facing. No matter what he says, it could be turned completely around. If he apologizes, everyone will assume he's guilty. If he says he's innocent, people will think he's lying and assume he's guilty. He is in a no win situation. In cases like this, it's better to be quiet.
I mean really think about it... most cases are drawn and decided on the feeling of the public. People were terrified at what could happen if O.J. were found guilty. Why do you think when he went to the civil trial, he was still ordered to pay money to the Goldman family?

Yeah, he's screwed. Good riddance. He may have been a decent player, but manipulating dogs to fight to the death is downright disgusting.
