Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick's chances of getting back on the football field were dealt a serious blow Tuesday (September 25) when a Virginia grand jury indicted him on state dogfighting charges.
According to CNN, the grand jury lodged two charges against Vick: one count of killing dogs and one of promoting dogfights. Those charges come on top of a recent plea agreement accepted by Vick on federal dogfighting charges, in which he admitted to bankrolling a dogfighting operation from his Virginia home (see "Michael Vick Pleads Guilty To Conspiracy"). The Associated Press reported that any animal-cruelty charge in Virginia is punishable with up to five years in prison; Vick admitted in his federal plea to helping kill six to eight dogs.
