Michael Vick has been indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with the dogfighting probe of his property in Virginia.

The indictment alleges that Vick and his co-defendants began sponsoring dogfighting in early 2001, the former Virginia Tech star's rookie year with the Falcons.

The Falcons quarterback was indicted for conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities and to sponsor a dog in an animal fighting venture in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District in Richmond, Va. Three others -- Purnell Peace, Quanis Phillips and Tony Taylor -- also were indicted by the grand jury on the same charges.

...hope they throw the book at him and the NFL suspends him for at least a season. Fighting dogs is sick sh*t.

If you have followed the story at all, it's bad. Dead dogs buried in the yard, dogs chained to truck axles inches away from each other to make them more aggresive, a treadmill set up to make them run.

Dog fighting has to be one of the lowest forms of humanity.

So if he ate the dogs it would be cool? Or should they let the chickens in the slaughter house live as long as they keep winning?

After a March 2003 loss by a female pit bull, codefendant Purnell Peace, "after consulting with Vick," electrocuted the animal. In April, prosecutors allege, Vick, Peace, and Quanis Phillips, "executed approximately 8 dogs that did not perform well in 'testing' sessions." These animals, the indictment claims, were killed "by various methods, including hanging, drowning, and slamming at least one dog's body to the ground."

This would not be an issue if we had Convict Deathmatches, I mean who the hell is gonna want to watch some dogs fight after seeing an axe murderer beat a child molester within an inch of his life only to have the tables turned when the child molester stabs him in the eye with a sharpened toothbrush handle. Friday Night Fights indeed.

He has been idicted by a federal grand jury under federal charges including conspiracy. Under conspiracy charges he can be found guilty of things other people committed as he participated and funded said 'conspiracy'. This is some pretty serious ****.


They should keep him in the NFL, just don't give him a helmet or a cup. Form his o-line from PETA members.

From what I've read, sentence is possible 6 years in jail and $350,000+ in fines.

It's funny, the radio guy this morning made a good point. He said that if you get in an altercation with another person, or even multiple persons, the public is willing to forgive and forget.

F*ck with an animal, though, and you're going down in flames.

Screw Vick, I hope he gets the maximum sentence.

Fvck him. this story truly makes me sick.
Vick needs to be held accountable. I'd like nothing more then to see him hit with the maximum sentence. In addition to that I think a good old fashioned "sponsor boycott" is in order.

thank you Westy and others for clearing that up... I hate hearing these high profile A$$holes being able to get out of everything just because of who they are... I am glad that the grand jury is holding court, instead of some local judge who would be star struck!

Well he is in the National Felon League!

Looks like Nike is sticking by him for the time being.
Of course their labor practices could be construed as cruelty to children so what's a few dogs matter to them.

Nike, through a spokesperson, acknowledged receipt of the Humane Society's letter.

"There is no change in the status of the agreement between Nike and football player Michael Vick; he is rightfully presumed innocent and afforded the same due process as any citizen, rather than be tried in the court of public opinion," wrote Erica Pedreguera, Nike's public relations manager, in e-mail sent to the AJC.

All that "grand jury" means is that all the evidence is reviewed infront of a jury to see if there's enough merit to go to trial.

if vick does not get the punishment he deserves for this, then i would not be surprised if some crazed animal activists put out a hit on him.

I like that. Vick might legally innocent, but in the court of public opinion, Nike is convicted of supporting animal cruelty.
