Wow. This one is big. Instead of hiding behind expensive attorneys and elaborate defenses, Michael Vick has consulted with his family and decided to plead guilty for his involvement in dogfighting on his Virginia property. His career with the NFL is uncertain and was not discussed as part of the plea bargain.
There's some good news in this tragedy: the United States Humane Society reports that since this high-profile case was first broadcast, there have been "at least 32 dogfighting rings broken up in 15 states with 240 dogs seized." They have an easy way to send thanks to the U.S. Attorneys who, by all news accounts, worked very hard and made all the right moves to bring it to closure quickly.
