Vick in the Dog House!!

Michael Vick, star Quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, remains in the dog house after his co-defendants identified him as an executioner of underachieving Pit Bulls in signed court documents. Purnell Peace, one of three co-defendants, signed a 12-page “summary of facts” in U.S. District court that describes in detail the executions of eight dogs. Vick and the three co-defendants were charged in mid-July with organizing fights between pit bulls and transporting and delivering dogs across state lines. If Vick is found guilty on both counts, he faces six years in prison and fines of up to $350,000.
