Gerald Poindexter, the prosecutor in Virginia who will decide whether to press charges after evidence of dog fighting was found on property owned by Michael Vick, doesn't sound too enthusiastic about pursuing the case. When asked about the evidence that has been found, Poindexter said this:"I'm not going to be a party to a witch hunt," Poindexter said. "This [process] will not be driven by people who hate Michael Vick, love Michael Vick or people who love animals."
Witch hunt? Who said anything about a witch hunt? The Salem Witch Trials were a shameful moment in history because there is no such thing as a witch. There is such a thing as dog fighting, and it's utterly idiotic to compare an investigation of someone who owns property on which fighting dogs are kept to a witch trial.
As for the "people who love animals," Poindexter seems to be taking a shot at the Humane Society, which has pressed both law enforcement authorities and the NFL on this issue.
There's still a lot we don't know about this case, but Poindexter seems like he's going out of his way not to find any reason to charge a celebrity with a crime. That's troubling.
