| OT, but like the Brittney stories, it shows you the MSM focus. It sure isn't on terrorism. |
From Channel 12-WWBT News - posted in its entirety since not sure how long the links last.
Michael VickÂ’s remaining two co-defendants in a federal dogfighting case are scheduled to enter plea agreements this week.
Oops.
Purnell Peace will appear in federal court in Richmond on Thursday and Quanis Phillips will appear in federal court in Richmond on Friday.
Not the main circus around the Federal Courts Building, but certainly a sideshow.
Another of VickÂ’s original co-defendants, Tony Taylor, pleaded guilty July 30 to his role in a dogfighting conspiracy he says was financed almost entirely by the Atlanta Falcons quarterback.
That was the original oops. With sideshow.
As part of a plea agreement, Tony Taylor pledged to fully cooperate with the government in its prosecution of Vick, Peace and Phillips, who are accused of running an interstate dogfighting enterprise known as “Bad Newz Kennels” on Vick’s property in rural Surry County.
Looks like it's "bad newz" for somebody....
Calls to PeaceÂ’s and PhillipsÂ’ attorneys were not immediately returned.
Collins Spencer III is a spokesman for VickÂ’s defense team. He says the lawyers were surprised by the plea deals.
I'll just bet they were.
I can't imagine Vick pleading, so I guess the circus is coming back to town just after Thanksgiving.
I work a couple of blocks from the courthouse, and thankfully can get to and from work without going near ground-zero the courthouse, unlike those who work - and park - on 10th, Main, and Bank Streets. Oy. |
