**UPDATE**: Vick Not Likely to Be Indicted Following Raid

Here's an update

ESPN - Sources: Vick unlikely to be indicted in feds' probe - NFL (http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2927560)

I think he'll get cut at seasons end because it allows the Falcons to rid themselves of a player who is hindering their offense while satisfing the PR side of the game.

So you really think they are going to cut arguably the most popular player in the league?

The man hasn't been charged with a single thing and people are talking about him being released.

And I am the one characterized as an "alarmist fool" for sharing the viewpoint of the beat reporter and one of top sportswriters in the country. Funny how things are viewed around here...

Vick isnt going anywhere. He has too many high priced lawyers with lack of evidence on their side. Remember you can only be convicted if the evidence is concrete. In other words the FEDS have no case.

This whole is starting to smell bad. Why are the Feds involved in the whole Vick thing? Isn't this usually a state matter and as such handled by local law enforcement?

It became a Federal matter when Federal Laws were broke, and when a Non Virginia resident became subject to a Virginia state investigation.

I wonder if Vick's dogs bulk up like this (http://www.canada.com/victoriatimescolonist/story.html?id=67f15c17-2717-4022-bb76-1b982456e793)

You gotta ask youself, "self, how many times have I had feds on my ass?" None...why? Cause I'm a good person. So why does Vick have feds on his ass? (cough cough)

You can only be convicted if the jury votes to convict you. People are found guilty on flimsy evidence every day. Of course, the difference here is that Vick can retain strong legal council and the government will have to have strong evidence against him in order to indict, which is the way it should always be , but isn't.

Also, any jury in that part of Virginia is likely to have at least one person who will vote to acquit Vick no matter what - because of football or race or a combination of things. If the government tried to bring a case against Vick it would have to be airtight. But, he is probably only actually guilty of attending the fights and gambling on them. His cousin is the one who will take the fall for the actual fighting which is the case that the government would like to make even though Micheal Vick is more famous. If they try to bring the dog fighting charges against Micheal Vick, they will be giving a reluctant jury an easy way out - "He just owned the house, He didn't own the dogs, etc". These are the kinds of considerations they are making. Prosecutors hate to lose and they really hate to lose when there are cameras around.
