BAHAAHA! Michael Vick will plead guilty to VA dogfighting (state) charges

[flvegan]

Suspended Falcons quarterback Michael Vick plans to enter a guilty plea next week on the state dogfighting charges he faces in Virginia, according to his attorneys Lawrence H. Woodward and Billy Martin.

Woodward and Martin filed a motion with the Surry County Circuit Court on Oct. 17, “asking the Court to allow Mr. Vick, pursuant to the Virginia Rules, to enter a plea of guilty to the pending state charges via videoconference,” Martin said in a statement released to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution on Tuesday. “Together with his motion, Mr. Vick filed a waiver in which he forgoes his right to personally appear at the plea hearing and agrees to be bound by the decision of the court.”

The hearing has been schedule for 11 a.m, Thursday, Oct. 30. The Virginia indictment charges Vick with one count of torturing and killing dogs and one count of promoting dogfighting. Each carries a maximum five-year prison term.

Vick is scheduled to be released from federal prison on July 20, 2009
