Shave your jail term...test positive for drugs
« on: January 08, 2008, 11:29:56 pm »
On the news tonight, it was announced that Michael Vick, the guy who got convicted of illegal dog fighting, tested positive for drugs while out on supervised release from jail.  He agreed to go to drug rehab while in jail which will shave his piddly 23mth sentence nearly in half!  Lesson: when you go to jail, make sure you test positive for drugs.  If you don't, make sure you test positive once  you're in...you'll get your sentence reduced!  Good Grief!

Nope. I don't think it was the drug thing.

Probably being a famous rich sportsman who has big gun lawyers, not public defenders, saved this revolting fellow from his rightful doom.

His original sentence of 23 months was revolting.  But, according to the news, his sentence was cut nearly in half after he tested positive for drugs then agreed to attend rehab classes while in jail.  They showed pictures of what was found at his house, it was awful!

Has to agree with Matty, in the real world, using drugs does not reduce any jail time. It just works that way for the celebrities. If you confess to using drugs while in jail or before going, it'll just get you drug tested more often.

The false positive I'd register for Sustiva will now be good for something.  :P

I suspect this recent development was all part of the long term strategy. Think: Big money changing hands.

 :D at the link Ann posted!  I think that, as long as one doesn't use performance-enhancing steroids while playing sports, anything goes for athletes.  On a side note, with all that's wrong today, why the hell is congress involved in drug use of athletes?  It's an insult to any real issue.
