23. In Vick's case I respectfully disagree.
I'm in favor of giving the guy a 2nd chance but he was serving time for a real crime. One that I think correctly resulted in incarceration. Many serving time in the nations jails are in for crimes that don't have nearly the moral weight of Vick's conviction. I would be in favor of reviewing their cases and the case law that put them in prison but in Vick's case, he was rightly in Jail. Now that he's served his time, I'm in favor of giving him a 2nd chance but that is much different from saying he should not have been in prison which your post seems to come dangerously close to.
