What Vick’s case is and isn’t
The Vick case is nothing like the Duke lacrosse case. In the Duke case, there was zero evidence that any crime other than underage drinking ever occurred. In this case there is a mountain of evidence that can leave no sentient person doubting whether felonies occurred at Vick’s property.
The Vick case is nothing like the Kobe Bryant case. In Kobe’s case, it was agreed that he and his paramour had sex, though at issue was the context - whether it was consensual or forced. If the act occurred under one set of circumstances, it was a crime. It it occurred under another set of circumstances, it was not a crime. And inevitably in cases pitting one person’s word against another’s, there is a gray area where it may be difficult to know which it was. You could draw a venn diagram. But in the venn diagram for the Vick case, the set of circumstances under which what we know happened was not a crime do not exist; it is the null set.
If there must be a comparison, let me suggest Michael Vick has much more in common with Jeffrey Dahmer. In each case there is a pile of innocent corpses with only one remotely plausible explanation for how they got there.

“A pile of innocent corpses with only one remotely plausible explanation for how they got there”… hmmm…. sounds like the OJ case. Well, unless you actually lend credence to the Columbian Drug Cartel Theory.
Actually, maybe it was those same darned Drug Lords that took to dogfighting on the East Coast, and with the helf of local, state, and federal law enforcement, conspired to blame *another* innocent celebrity - in this case, Mike Vick!
It’s almost to neat and tidy, don’t ya think?!?!
On a related note, I wonder if OJ will offer his extensive investigative skills to the Mike Vick defense team… using the vast experience he’s gleened from years of searching for Nicole’s (and friend’s) “real killer(s)”.
