Vick Co-Defendant Pleads Guilty

RICHMOND, Va. (July 30) - One of Michael Vick's co-defendants pleaded guilty Monday to federal dogfighting conspiracy charges in a plea agreement with prosecutors.

Tony Taylor, 34, who will be sentenced Dec. 14, said he was not promised any specific sentence in return for his cooperation with the government.

Taylor faces a maximum of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine, but likely will get less under federal sentencing guidelines. The guideline range will be determined by court officials, and U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson can depart from that range if he finds aggravating or mitigating circumstances.

"You're pleading guilty and taking your chances, right?" Hudson asked Taylor.

He responded, "Yes."

Taylor had the same answer when Hudson asked: "You have agreed to cooperate fully with the United States, is that right?"

Taylor, of Hampton, entered his plea to conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities, and conspiring to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture.

Vick, the star quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons, and two other co-defendants pleaded not guilty last week to the same charges.

Taylor and his attorney, Stephen A. Hudgins of Newport News, refused to answer reporters' questions as they left the federal courthouse after the 15-minute hearing.

Prosecutors claimed in a July 17 indictment that Taylor found the Surry County property that Vick purchased and used as the site of "Bad Newz Kennels," a dogfighting enterprise. Taylor also allegedly helped purchase pit bulls and killed at least two dogs that fared poorly in test fights.

According to the 18-page indictment, the dogfighting ring executed underperforming dogs by drowning, hanging and other brutal means. It alleges that the fights offered purses as high as $26,000.

The grisly details outlined in the indictment have fueled protests and public outrage against Vick. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has banned Vick from the Falcons' training camp while the league investigates.

Vick and Purnell A. Peace, 35, of Virginia Beach, and Quanis L. Phillips, 28, of Atlanta, are scheduled for trial Nov. 26. They remain free without bond.

Thanks for not yelling at me.

Vick's a DOUCHE.

What about the prejudiced and racist Vick apologists, too blaming it on a white vendetta?

One dope called the radio today spinning that web and backed it up with "The bible says Jesus didn't like dogs so how can it be wrong?"

THAT HAPPENED?? Oh shit...can't WAIT until Sharpton and Jackson get into this.

This whole thing is unbelievable. And I wonder what all will come out of it. I am just glad that at least those people won't be hurting any more dogs.

Shit...
You read or heard about what that AssClown, 'Reverend' Deon Sanders
said in a Florida Newspaper editorial last week???
this guy is worse than Sharpton and jackson sometimes!

The link will take you to the entire bullshit monologue but
here is one of my favorite quotes:

"I believe Vick had a passion for dogfighting. I know many athletes who
share his passion. The allure is the intensity and the challenge of a dog fighting
to the death. It's like ultimate fighting, but the dog doesn't tap out
when he knows he can't win.

It reminds me of when I wore a lot of jewelry back in the day because I always
wanted to have the biggest chain or the biggest, baddest car. It gives you status."

What a fucking terd

I'm sure it will be VERY soon! Lately we've been seeing good ole Jesse talking about kids and gun violence in Chicago. Of course he wants tougher gun laws because God forbid the law-abiding citizens should be able to own a gun. I'm sure that when this story dies down he'll move on to Vick.

[Escape Artist]

Yup, Vick is goin' down. His "buddy" gave him up as the ring leader.

Couldn't happen to nicer guy. what a piece of shit! I love dogs man...

Just don't tap out when you are getting your ass kicked in jail Vick...yeah right, what a pussy.

I was so happy when the Cowboys got rid of Prime time. He is a joke and I believe he runs a school somewhere that teaches those athletes how to get a big money contract and then get a toe ache and never play again. He used to make me so mad when he "played" for the Cowboys I could spit fire.
