In relation to Michael Vick, he was caught, fessed up pretty quickly and early into the trial process I believe and presented himself to jail early, wothout too much in the way of self pity. I can't see too many of the potential defendants manning up to their crimes in the same manner.
Animal cruelty cannot be condoned, but as a couple of folk have said, the length of his sentance related more to his race than the crime its self. He also paid reperations to the tune of $250k+ A pretty tough fine in effect. Anyone else been fined that sort of money for a simular crime?
With regards him getting back to the obscene salery etc, I believe his initial contract after release was not much above the NFL minimum. He also had filed for insolvency during his incarceration so his fall was pretty complete.
