White: Vick did nothing wrong in hosting party
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. (AP) -Roddy White hopes Michael Vick never has another brush with law enforcement.
White, who was a guest at a 30th birthday party for Vick that ended with a shooting, thinks his former Atlanta Falcons teammate did nothing wrong by hosting the June 25 event.
“That was a bad thing that happened over there,” White said Saturday. “He got out of it, and everything's good.”
White, a two-time Pro Bowl receiver, says he and Vick left “about the same time,” which, according to a prosecutor in Virginia Beach, Va., occurred before the shooting at a restaurant.
No charges were filed because police could not identify the shooter and said they received no cooperation from victim Quanis Phillips and other witnesses in their investigation.
