Just read and article and watched a story on this. He is fucked! One of the charges he is facing is "conspiracy." Which, if proved, means that everyone indicted can be held responsible for everyone else's conduct. Meaning that even if he didn't personally kill a dog the charge would prove he knew it was happening and so he is just as guilty as the people that did it.
Since this is a federal case they have tons of money and resources so any high priced lawyers he may get won't be going against some local DA, they will be going against the best the DOJ has to offer. His money won't help him hear. Look at Scooter Libby or Jeffery Skilling. They both have tons of money and hired the best legal defense you can get and both were found guilty and sentenced to jail (libby's sentence, of course, was removed by the president so he won't serve time)
The story also said that there are 4 others that were indicted at the same time and they have several people ready to testify that he was a big part of this whole thing. Chances are some, if not all, of the others that were indicted will co-operate with the police because obviously Vick is the target they want. If that happens, the legal expert in the story said, Vick's best bet is to cop a plea and hope for the best because he will have almost no chance of getting off.
