I think discostu summed it up in post #155.
Vick originally claimed he was innocent, until his co-defendants started making deals, and the evidence against him piled up.
And I think one reason the feds got involved was because the locals were dragging their feet.
I think Vick is only sorry that he got caught.
When the sentencing story broke this morning, I saw two NFL players on ESPN defending Vick. I had to change channels.
To me it’s the lie detector and the drug test that really demonstrate that all his contrition is just for show. If he really thought he did something bad he wouldn’t lie when giving the feds evidence about his partners in crime, and if he really was turning his life around he wouldn’t be smoking pot. I don’t think 2 years is that big a deal, and anybody comparing it to other sentences in other crimes that probably means the other sentence was too short not that Vick’s is too long.
