So it looked like Vick had trouble last summer, and then he struck a plea deal and it seemed like he could actually make it back on the field by next summer once he served some minimal amount of time behind bars.  However, it now appears that prosecutors were just building up to a nice pace.  Vick and his legal team may have been sprinting towards the goal line of a short Federal sentence, but other prosecutors are gearing up for a potential marathon.

Virginia Dog Fight Charges to be Considered this Week

The infamous, not going to prosecute Vick, Virginia District Attorney that waffled and decided to jump on the Vick bandwagon is positioned to have a Grand Jury hear a case as early as this Thursday if the Feds cooperate.  That could result in state dog fighting charges for Vick.  

There might be a delay in the indictments because Poindexter is waiting for federal investigaotrs to share forensic evidence.

New charges possible in Vick investigation

The Virginia Prosecutor may have a slam dunk Grand Jury indictment up his sleeve when he uses Vick’s own Federal Guilty plea to secure the indictment.

North Carolina Murder Investigation Drawing Federal Scrutiny

There is more information coming out about the North Carolina case.  The sheriff indicates that he has been cooperating with Federal investigators.  He has provided information about the murder victim and his dogs and records among other things and that the feds may be looking for connections to Vick and or his Posse turned Witnesses for the prosecution from Bad News Kennels.

New Information About the Murder Scene

The murder victim was known for keeping a very secure trailer.  If he did not know the person, Melton apparently never let anyone in his home keeping strict security.  That indicates the murder victim did know his victim.

Cocaine in North Carolina Case

Investigators at the murder scene found large amounts of money and cocaine at the scene of the murder.  That indicates that who ever killed the murder victim may have had other motives for killing Bud Melton or didn’t need the drugs and money. 

Melton was killed just days before the feds raided Michael Vick’s Virginia home.  The Feds according to court documents were tipped off by at least two sources from North Carolina. 

Melton was murdered in North Carolina.

Circumstantial Evidence

There’s lots of circumstantial evidence and lots of potential areas for speculation.  Right now, it appears the feds are hogging the Vick ball and not sharing with state and local teams looking at their own game strategy.  That could be why more information is coming out from the North Carolina Sheriff.  As the trail in NC grew cold from an uncooperative federal investigation team, its possible that the NC Sheriff is hoping to get the press involved to demand information from the feds and help draw some connections. 

Did the Feds Fumble a Murder

It might even be possible that the feds are rushing to cover up their own possible mistakes.  It would be one hell of a fumble if Vick’s Plea bargain allowed him to get away with murder.
