Vick dogfighting trial delayed
Source: The Associated Press
SURRY, Va. – The trial of suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick on state dogfighting charges has been delayed.
Vick was scheduled to stand trial on April 2. The Surry County Commonwealth Attorney’s office says no new date has been set yet. The trial will be rescheduled on March 25.
Vick is serving a federal 23-month prison term in Leavenworth, Kansas. Officials had already delayed the trials of co-defendants Quanis Phillips and Purnell Peace. All three pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiring to run an interstate dogfighting operation on land owned by Vick.
The delays are based on the logistics of transporting the men back to Virginia, which is the responsibility of the local prosecutor’s office.

All eyes are on Spitzer, because we have a SEX Scandal. So NOW is the time to be looking around to see what else is going on, what else is about to be slipped by the American people.
And LOOK, congress is about to soften it’s stance on FISA IMMUNITY!
So once again the Democrats seem to be wearing down and giving ground to the Bush administrations push to give the telecom companies immunity. No, no, no. These telecom monopolies have a broken the laws of our Constitution, for profit from our government. This cannot be allowed to happen, the crimes MUST be fully investigated, and the top government officials that sanctioned this, before 9-11 and after, must be exposed and then prosecuted. To let them get away with this undermines the very fabric of our Constitution.
I draw a weekly political comic strip from here in Portland, that very few people see, where I deal with this and outer under reported topics, FISA Immunity is my latest, it’s up on my website now.
