Michael Vick is serving a 23-month sentence for facilitating, hosting, and bankrolling dogfighting rings.
John Robert Lawson, 57, whose father, Robert Lawson, helped start the Newport News company, testified in court that he has known Vick for more than 10 years and that they have been involved in charitable work together (they have? Surely nothing to do with the ASPCA).
Lawson said:
"I believe all of us make mistakes, and once you've fulfilled your commitment and paid the price, you should be given a second chance He's not a bad person. He made some bad choices."
Well, just thinking about the bloody dog fights, I am hard-pressed to not think of him as a bad person.
The construction job is, of course, just a pit stop. He wants to return to the NFL, and in time for the 2009 NFL season. He would first have to apply for, and be granted reinstatement to the NFL, which suspended him indefinitely in 2007.
Vick's agent, Joel Segal, believes Michael Vick is truly a changed person, and is truly remorseful. But honestly, what else would he say? If Vick is reinstated, Segal gets a percentage of any contract.
How do you readers feel about the possibility of Michael Vick becoming a multi-millionaire again? Do you think he is truly changed?
