Vick indicted in dog fighting investigation

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick was indicted by a federal grand jury in connection with the dog fighting probe of his property in Virginia, ESPN television reported on Tuesday.
Vick was indicted for conspiracy to travel in interstate commerce in aid of unlawful activities, as well as to sponsor a dog in animal fighting venture, ESPN said.
The indictment reportedly came in US District Court for the Eastern District in Richmond, Virginia, according to the web site.
The report also stated that three others - Purnell Peace, Quanis Phillips and Tony Taylor - also were indicted by the grand jury on the same charges.
Dog fighting is illegal in Virginia and a felony in 48 of America's 50 states, including Virginia..............


Vick faces different kind of pressure now

.............A person who spoke with Vick at length after the indictments were announced said that the quarterback was "devastated" by the news. Whether those feelings were feigned or not, we can't say, because we weren't party to the conversation. But in reading the indictments, it isn't as if Vick's name is simply sprinkled into the federal documents. The pages are actually rife with references to the Atlanta star.
In late May, two federal law enforcement officials told ESPN.com they felt there was sufficient evidence to eventually indict Vick, but were less certain of mounting successful prosecution. There is a reason, however, that the Feds own a conviction rate of better than 95 percent. The government typically doesn't indict unless it knows it can probably convict, and that should be unsettling news for the Falcons and their quarterback.
On July 7, a day after the latest raid on Vick's property, one of those same federal sources told ESPN.com for a column that the quarterback was still part of the investigation. "Just because you've got a lot of links [lying] around doesn't mean you can call in a chain," the source said. "But it also doesn't mean you abandon the notion of seeing if those links might someday become a chain." .............
