Vick co-defendant pleads guilty, will cooperate

[Mitchy moo]

Tony Taylor, 34, of Hampton, Virginia, entered the guilty plea in U.S. District Court in Richmond. He will be sentenced December 14.
Taylor, along with Vick and two other co-defendants, had pleaded not guilty Thursday before U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson.
In changing his plea to guilty, Taylor waived his right to appeal. He told the judge that he understands he is now a convicted felon.
It is widely believed that Taylor's plea, which had been expected, and his future cooperation could hurt Vick (http://topics.cnn.com/topics/michael_vick) and help the government prove its case against the Atlanta Falcons' star quarterback.
Along with Vick, Purnell Peace, 35, of Virginia Beach, and Quanis Phillips, 28, of Atlanta, Georgia, are scheduled to stand trial on

Vick had a chance to plea and someone else got the deal.

Vicks only shot now is he goes to trial and he gets a jury that can't think and won't convict.

Vick's only chance to salvage his career is to plead "not guilty."

Any admission of guilt and he is done.

ESPN is reporting that Taylor will testify that Vick financed the dog fighting operation, and attended at least 7 dog fights.
