    federal prosecution

    vick RAN to strike a plea with the federal prosecutors to forestall a trial on the state level. he is scared pea green of longer state sentences, state prison, and having the details of his doggie death camp unrolled day by day in the newspapers. here's hoping that the commonwealth of virginia seeks this opportunity for a high profile trial to expose this blood "sport" in all its rottenness.
