Now What, Dummies?

Yeah so, you know how all Mike Vick's boys turned state's evidence against him in his federal dog fighting case in exchange for immunity and lighter sentences? Yeah well, AFTER they made all their damning testimonies, the state of Virginia says they’re going to file their OWN charges based on the Fed testimonies and will not grant the same immunities to the turn-coat defendants, so those fools are going to get jail time anyway. Suckkkkkers.

If you come and talk to us about pleading guilty and testifying for us, there will be no more charges against you. If you do not, the charges and the potential punishment will grow quickly. "
