Even when they say the right thing , they say it wrong.

MORE THAN 30 DOG CARCASSES FOUND ON VICK PROPERTY​

ESPN Radio, by way of WVEC-TV, reports that nearly three dozen dog carcasses were found on property owned by Falcons quarterback Mike Vick in Surry County, Virginia during a Thursday search by federal authorities.​

Also, Patrick Terpstra of WVEC reports that Surry County prosecutor Gerald Poindexter will continue with his own investigation into the case as the federal investigation proceeds. ​

Poindexter has toned down his remarks regarding the federal involvement in the case, which as of Thursday night contained some fairly inflammatory rhetoric. On Friday, Poindexter said merely that it was a "breach of protocol" for the feds to search the land without giving Poindexter advance notice.​

We're also told that WAVY-TV reporter Mary Kay Mallonee said on Friday afternoon during Rick Ballou's show on 1010XL in Jacksonville that dog carcasses were indeed found on the property, and that federal investigators were happy with the results of the search.​

All things considered, it's not a good outcome for Mr. Vick. The feds will come after him 100 times more aggressively than a part-time prosecutor in a rural county with 7,000 residents ever would or could, and the feds won't let go until the verdict and been entered and all appeals have been exhausted.​

Uh-oh

funniest part of the article was where Poindexter was wondering why the Feds were conducting their own investigation.....

It amazes me that a guy can be hired as a prosecutor after being so wishy washy and flip flopping as much as Gerald has

He made an earlier comment that it might 'be racially motivated' -- but apparently has thought better of that.

That almost makes me believe Vick because he'd have to be INCREDIBLY stupid to sell the property without disposing of over 30 dead dogs?

But maybe they were buried or hidden in such a way he just didn't expect the buyer to find them and wasn't counting on the feds searching?

What a moron, if he's guilty I hope they throw the book at him.

Who was it who bought the property? Was their name ever revealed? My thinking is that it could be a party sympathetic to Vick.

A sale of convenience and conveyance????? Seems quite possible. Maybe he sold it to Arthur Blank. Interesting to see the property records on that one.

To be fair to Vick, the earlier report was false it seems:

WVEC DROPS CLAIM THAT 30-PLUS DOG CARCASSES WERE FOUND​

Several readers have pointed out to us that WVEC-TV has dropped without explanation from its web site a statement that ESPN Radio has reported that nearly three dozen dead dogs were found on the property owned by Mike Vick in Surry County, Virginia.​

Attention, WVEC: You can't just make a claim like that, drop it, and make no mention as to why you've done so. ​

We suspect that the error resulted from WVEC's interpretation of an interview of ESPN's Kelly Naqi during Friday's Dan Patrick Show on ESPN Radio. Naqi said that the suspicion was that up to 37 dogs were buried on the property. She never said that 37 dogs have been actually found there.​

With that said, it's our understanding that WAVY-TV's Mary Kay Mallonee said during a Friday afternoon appearance with Rick Ballou on 1010XL in Jacksonville that dog carcasses were found on the property, and that investigators were happy with the outcome of the search.​

Its also VERY possible that the Feds nixed it completely. The other reporter still stood by her claims.

There was no retraction or any explanation. Thats the odd part. It could be that the govt wanted it to be stricken till they made conclusive findings. They may be the ones that want to break the news to the AP or the like

Has it not already been proven that Vick is terminally stupid?

the truth will come out; I think he is involved and that is bad news for Falcons fans

 

[ItsInTheCards]

I think he is involved

as do I.....Vick has been eerily quiet during all of this, and when ESPN aired that dog fighting thing on OTL with the informant, Mike didnt demand a retraction or anything

I think he knows that his glass house is about to come crashing down
