| Omg!!! omg i just read this and now i am sooo pissed Vick's Prison Sentence May Be Shortened Posted Jan 5th 2008 5:15PM by JJ Cooper Filed under: Falcons, Atlanta, NFL Police Blotter, Featured Stories Michael Vick might be back sooner than we think. Humane Society and PETA picketers better keep those posters ready, as there's a chance Michael Vick could be back on the field for the 2009 season. Yahoo! Sports is reporting that the Falcons quarterback could end up serving as few as 12 months of his 23 month sentence thanks to his entry into a drug rehab program in prison. By connecting the dots, the story speculates that Vick could be back in the NFL for the 2009 season, as he would likely wrap up his sentence early next year. Apparently the drug treatment program, which is only in place at the Leavenworth, Kan., federal penitentiary, allows inmates to wipe off up to a year of their sentence if they complete the drug treatment program. Vick has tested positive for marijuana, which ended up likely adding time to his prison sentence. But now that same drug test might end up helping him cut time from his current sentence. Vick has to be in the program for a year, which apparently hasn't begun, so he's likely looking at a February or March 2009 release. Now, there are several other obstacles to Vick getting back onto an NFL field. Commissioner Roger Goodell will have to end his indefinite suspension, he'll likely have to pass frequent drug tests, and probably most importantly, he'll have to find a team willing to have a dog killer on their roster, with all the bad publicity that will come with it. But getting his prison sentence over six months or more before the 2009 season does make it much more likely that Vick will end up getting back onto the field.

We have a dog cruelty case in our town right now - one groomer is accused of feeding antifreeze laced food to a competitor's dogs!!! (I will keep all my editorials on the case to myself here as they can't be printed.) She had requested a change of venue that was denied. Her attorney was on the radio saying that today, cruelty to children or animals gets far bigger reactions and stirs the passions of people more than murder.

| I hope the Humane Society circulates another petition to keep this from happening. I think the sentence he got was a gift anyway, considering the time he could have done. |
