Bad Newz Kennels

Why is it that the Federal government is investigating all these people for this alleged dog fighting ring, but they are offering plea agreements to everyone so they can build their case against Michael Vick? There are multiple people involved with the whole thing yet they are trying to build their case against one man, who "coincidentally" happens to be the richest and most famous black man out of the group? I think that he is definitely guilty of dog fighting and should get in trouble for it, but I don't agree with how the Federal government has singled him out and are only going after him. Furthermore, all these plea agreements they're handing out to build a case against him... if you faced a long term jail sentence and a huge fine wouldn’t you blame it on someone else if you were offered immunity, especially because if you don't, you know they have enough evidence to convict you? Do I think Vick was involved, absolutely. Do I think he was the only person in charge of everything, absolutely not. If you’re going to convict people for the crime then convict all of them because I seriously doubt it Vick was the one person pulling all the strings. It was probably the group of them sitting around one day and coming up with the idea. Vick just happened to have the money to pay for things. So by going after Vick and only Vick, all the others who were there for the conception of the idea get off because they didn’t have the money to fund the operation. Had they had the money, I’m sure they would have bank-rolled the fights too. All I’m saying is that its unfair to only go after one person because he’s famous, when it was the whole group of them that are guilty.
