Vick should be beat down like a bitch for this
Or thrown down on the ground repeatedly. Or hosed down and electrocuted. I hope he rots.
Does anybody know why the Ohio case is in Federal court? Why isn't this murder case in state court?
Bet "purity girl" is on her back within 3 years.
It is in Federal COurt because it is alleged that the dogs were transported across state lines. The real reason is that federal court are much worse than state court for defendants in terms of conviction rates and sentencing!
10:15, you answered the wrong question.
9:51, i think the case is in federal court because the wife solicited her husband's murder across state lines. she and her husband were ohio residents, but she contacted a pennsylvania man to commit the murder, and she crossed from OH to PA to deliver the intended victim into the crosshairs of the killer.
"Vick himself participated in the killings of eight dogs in April, according to the indictment. The animals were killed 'by various methods, including hanging, drowning and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground,' the indictment said."
That piece of ---- and all his compatriots should be skinned alive and beaten to death by someone careful not to leave any spot on the body without a lot of pain before he dies, and hopefully someone will do that to him when he gets out of prison if not before.
