Possible Twist in Vick Case

So two of Ron Mexico’s amigos have apparently rolled. I remember when the first one rolled, the press said he had turned. Turning is different from rolling. Turning is when you switch sides, rolling is when you make a deal, proverbially rolling the pressure off of you onto someone else. There’s a difference, just ask anyone involved in organized crime.
Anyway, this rolling reminds me of someone: Frank Pentangeli. Some of you might be asking “who?” To refresh your memory, he was a caporegime of the Corleone family. He testified in front of the Senate, at first against Michael Corleone, but changed his testimony, helping clear Michael’s name. Yes, Frank is a fictitious character from The Godfather: Part II.
So why do Michael Vick’s buddies remind me of Frankie? Because you never know what’s going to happen when people take the stand. Vick’s associates have already agreed to enter guilty pleas. It seems as though they will testify against Vick, sealing the case, and turning #7 into prisoner #8493297. Or will they?
Now I’m not predicting anything. I’m not a legal expert, nor an expert in dog fighting. But I do know something about people, and people have a tendency to do crazy, fucked up shit (example: running a dog fighting ring). I do know that Barry Bonds has a pal in the clink who refuses to testify. I also know that Michael Vick is a rich man and would do anything to stay out of prison. So don’t be surprised if Vick’s two friends plead guilty, but also take most of the heat for the dog fighting ring.
Vick might not be able to avoid taking some heat for this. But I for one, will not be shocked in the least if he takes the minimal amount of heat, thanks to his two friends.
I can just imagine one of Vick's comrades testifying:
"It was the FBI. They kept saying Michael Vick did this. And Michael Vick did that. So I said, uh, sure. But it was all lies, all of it"
