Report: Massive K-9 Grave Found on Michael Vick's Property - Sports Blog - The FanHouse

According to a WVEC.com report (citing ESPN Radio), nearly three dozen dog carcasses were found on the Virginia property formerly owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick.

The warrant to excavate and search the property was executed earlier today and based on the video, it was obvious that they began to discover the remains of dead dogs early in their search. The remaining portion of the day was spent digging up the rest of Vick's former yard in order to find any and all remaining deceased K-9's.

Strange reaction from Poindexter in the first linked article .. puzzled, questions openly whether the search was racially motivated, doesn't know why the Feds executed the search and calls it a "breach of protocol."

As I understand this, the Feds warrant was on a clock and would have run out, it was not earlier ready to serve as the judge granting the warrant had questions about it's expressed scope. They got it reauthorized after changing the wording but had to execute said warrant within the original time-window, or risk further delay, and the risk of the opportunity for evidence to be removed or otherwise damaged.

Not sure how this went untouched... Cowherd had a field day with this one. Besides the typical humor, he made some good points. What "normal" burglars steal a washer/dryer, a floor buffer & vacuum?

Why did it take the police 11 days to notice there was a burglary?
Report: Vick home in dogfighting case burglarized

There have been no charges filed in the case of alleged dogfighting at Michael Vick's home in Virginia, but that doesn't mean that the home has quieted down.
According to a police report obtained by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, the home in Surry, Va., was broken into between May 7 and May 18 and a number of expensive items were removed.
"I don't think it has anything to do with possible evidence," Commonwealth attorney Gerald Poindexter said of the dogfighting investigation. "I think it was some feuding over the spoils."
Three plasma televisions, two floor buffers, a wet/dry vacuum, a washer and dryer and a $17,000 leather sofa were taken from the Atlanta quarterback's home.
"Someone had attempted to break in the front window," the police report said. "The alarm was not working."

AJC - Vick's Family Feud Burglary?

The two-story, white brick house Vick recently put up for sale was burglarized between May 7 and May 18, according to a police report obtained by the AJC.
"I don't think it had anything to do with possible evidence," in the dogfighting investigation, Poindexter said. "I think it was some feuding over the spoils. Some people believe that in getting ready to sell the house, Vick had promised stuff to some family members and other people felt they deserved things."
Stolen were three plasma televisions (62", 42" and 32"), two floor buffers, a wet/dry vacuum, an upright washer and dryer and a leather sofa valued at $17,550 combined. The perpetrator(s) entered the home through a back, side window, according to the police report, which indicated the "alarm was not working." There has been no arrest.
According to Poindexter, the burglary is not believed to have compromised the grounds in a wooded area behind the house...

What about washing/cleaning something (bloody) in the washer/vaccuum?

 

[The Man]

a bunch of dogs buried in the yard is a coincidence . If the dogs are in a pit you must acquit.....

 

[Muck]

What about washing/cleaning something (bloody) in the washer/vaccuum?

Nah, the family is probably just planning on starting up a cleaning service.

Is it just me or does every time Poindexter open his mouth he sounds more and more like an idiot?

He can probably get a bit part on Entourage. Episode titles - when bad things happen to your paycheck, or dog-fightin' days.

Local dog-fighting investigation moves ahead; Vick cancels camp

Associated Press

RICHMOND, Va. - The prosecutor who questioned why federal authorities would take an interest in a suspected dog-fighting case possibly involving Michael Vick sounded a conciliatory tone Friday and said there would be "parallel investigations."
Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald G. Poindexter said he, Sheriff Harold Brown and the rest of the team that has been investigating the case since 66 dogs were found on the property on April 25 still intend to meet soon to review their evidence.
"They launched a separate, independent federal investigation," Poindexter said of the government, which has had a representative involved in the local probe all along.
"We are just pursuing parallel investigations."
One day earlier, within hours of being told that a sealed federal search warrant was being executed at the house, Poindexter reacted much differently, suggesting that Vick's celebrity as an NFL quarterback was driving the government's interest.

Since it appears cbf40 is done trying to talk sense to you guys allow me to explain this away... clearly these dogs were all stricken with Parvo and Vick was kind enough to bury them.
