Mr Vick broke numerous Federal and State Laws he admitted he was guilty his co-defendants testified against him and also took polygraph tests as part of their plea deal.
The Feds also had enough evidence to file RICO Charges against Mr Vick and his Co-defendants which would of resulted in over 20 years of jail time.
In exchange for not filing those charges Mr Vick had to own up to to all of the lesser charges of running a dog fighting business .
He is actually guilty of alot more than he is being charged .
He committed the crime and he has to do the time it's just that simple. Just like everybody else.
His guilty and stupid he just flushed $ 130 Million Dollars down the toilet.

Yes since he plead guilty. However so are the other people who get caught with illegal dog fighting around this country. the media and courts want to make an example out of him since he is an athlete and is on TV. would anyone else who is a common person that gets caught with the dog fighting get all the media/tv time that Vick gets....or the protesters outside the courtrooms when he goes to court. seriously doubt it.I live in ATL and everytime i turn on the news the 5 news channels has something about Vick.
And for those of u who are gonna give me a thumbs down or say something stupid about it get over it already. He's an athlete he's on tv he makes more than most of u out there for doing something that he loves and made 1 freaking mistake. I dont condone dog fighting but get over it already he said he's sorry he's taking his punishment like a man and regretting ever having anything to do with it.

He pled guilty to several of the charges, while others were dropped. Don't you think if he was innocent of all charges that his lawyers would be building a case aginst the feds.

RICHMOND, Va. -- First, Michael Vick apologized to all the people he lied to. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell. Atlanta Falcons owner Arthur Blank. Coach Bobby Petrino. His teammates.
"I was not honest and forthright in our discussions," the star quarterback said Monday, somber and deliberate and not speaking from notes.

Michael Vick: Scrambling for His Freedom
When the Atlanta Falcons selected Michael Vick with the No. 1 pick in the 2001 draft, the former Virginia Tech quarterback appeared to be the NFL's next megastar. But his career is now in ruins after pleading guilty to federal dogfighting charges that will almost certainly result in significant prison time.

Then he apologized to "all the young kids out there for my immature acts."
"I need to grow up," he added.
And so began a public act of contrition from Vick, who pleaded guilty to a federal dogfighting charge and then stood behind a podium to say his job now was "bettering Michael Vick the person, not the football player."
There he was, a QB so deft and nimble he pulled off any number of amazing scrambles on the field. Now he was scrambling to save himself and his football future because of his role in a gruesome dogfighting ring.
Saying he was speaking "from the heart," Vick said he took full responsibility for his actions.
"Dogfighting is a terrible thing, and I did reject it," he said.
Acceptance of responsibility is one of the factors U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson will consider in handing down Vick's sentence Dec. 10. The federal sentencing guideline range is projected at a year to 18 months, but Hudson can impose up to the five-year maximum.
Vick was suspended indefinitely by the NFL after his written plea agreement was filed in court Friday.
"So I got a lot of down time, a lot of time to think about my actions and what I've done and how to make Michael Vick a better person," said Vick, who grew up in Newport News.
"I will redeem myself. I have to," he vowed.

We have no way of knowing. We don't know him. We were not there when the crime happened.
All we know is that he pled guilty to some of the carges. Either we believe him or we don't. We still don't know what he did.
