Michael Vick surrendered today to U.S. marshals in Virginia and will remain in jail until his sentencing on a dogfighting charge in three weeks.
The Atlanta Falcons quarterback is scheduled to be sentenced Dec. 10 but turned himself in because he anticipates a prison term on the federal dogfighting conspiracy charge.
Vick is being held at the Northern Neck Regional Jail in Warsaw which is a mixed-gender facility houses about 450 inmates.
Billy Martin, one of Vick’s lawyers, said in a statement:
“From the beginning, Mr. Vick has accepted responsibility for his actions, and his self-surrender further demonstrates that acceptance,” “Michael wants to again apologize to everyone who has been hurt in this matter, and he thanks all of the people who have offered him and his family prayers and support during this time.”
Michael could be sentenced to up to five years in prison.
this man should go to jail for life. what he did is discusting
I think they wanted to make a example out a young superstar. People kill animal all the time hunting. What about the past people that were fightin dogs they didn’t get know time only warning and a fine. What he did was wrong but it people still fightin animal now, some fight cock, some fight dogs. He’s only human we make mistake he just were a young black superstar.
You are absolute correct, we all make mistakes. How can Raquel say he deserves life as if he killed and slaughtered humans. They make dog fights in the hood/ghetto where i’m from alot in Memphis. Well i take that back, they use to like in 2005/6. The bottom line is he does not deserve life over something like this!!!!!!!!!
M.O.G. SQUAD!!!!!!!(MEN OF GOD)
