Default Dogfight Trial Postponed For Vick

Dogfight trial postponed for former NFL star Vick



SURRY, Virginia (AFP) — Disgraced former American football star Michael Vick's trial on state dogfighting charges has been postponed from April 2, the Surry County prosecutor's office said Friday.

A new trial date will be decided on March 25 for former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Vick, whose National Football League career collapsed after his role in a dogfighting ring brought federal charges.

Vick, 27, is serving a 23-month sentence in the federal prison at Leavenworth, Kansas, after pleading guilty last August to charges stemming from his financing of the "Bad Newz Kennels" on rural property he owned here.

Vick admitted to killing poorly performing dogs by hanging and drowning, part of a sordid string of revelations that had dogs killed by beatings and electrocutions and sparked shock and outrage from animal supporters.
Vick is taking part in a drug rehabilitation program in hopes of securing an early release and reducing his stay behind bars with an eye to returning to the NFL as early as 2009, provided he secures approval from league officials.
