Vick Trial Date To Be Set For State Charges

Michael Vick
Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is waiting in jail to learn when his next trial date is – this time on state dogfighting charges, according to Larry O’Dell of the Associated Press. The suspended quarterback was not expected to attend a hearing in Surry County (VA) Circuit Court to schedule his trial on two felony dogfighting charges. Vick is currently residing at a jail in Warsaw, VA after unexpectedly turning himself in November 19 to begin serving time on a federal dogfighting conspiracy charge.

When Vick is sentenced on December in the federal case, he faces up to 5 years in prison. Vick’s lawyers, as expected, are going to fight the state charges, on the premise that Vick cannot be convicted twice of the same crime.

    I am a big fan of dogs, however Vick is sentenced by the judge who is an avid hunter, shooting animals who are defenseless against guns. The Judge is a hypocrite. A dog is another animal just like a deer. We slaughter animals everyday and eat them, just like we could with dogs, well in far east they do. Vick should not go to jail for cruelty to animals. Vick looses two years of his life because he killed animals. wow what a stupid society we live in. Lets put dogs up on a throne.
