Vicktimized

Last night the local news interviewed patrons of a Buckhead restaurant. Requesting opinion on the pending Vick arrest. The opinions , unfortunately, were eerily similar to what we experienced during the Simpson murder trial. Black opinion centered on presumed innocence and unnecessary Federal prosecution. White opinion presumed guilt and leaped to the need for getting a quarterback that could throw the damned ball. In effort to appear positive, many more blacks were interviewed than whites, an odd sampling for any Buckhead establishment.
I do not know if the man is guilty or innocent. Dead dogs were found on the Virginia estate property and there are witness accounts of Vick gambling at the dog fights. The Federal government is not prone to prosecuting cases it cannot win. Mike Vick does have the financial resources to obtain the best possible defense. It is unlikely that a jail sentence is in the Vicktim's future.
