| 27th November, 2007 - 5:22 pm |  ESPN - A judge on Tuesday scheduled an April 2 trial date for jailed Atlanta Falcons' quarterback Michael Vick on two state felony dogfighting charges.
Vick's lawyer Lawrence Woodward requested a jury trial during the 5-minute session.
The suspended NFL star did not attend the hearing in Surry County Circuit Court. Vick is being held in a Warsaw, Va., jail after surrendering on Nov. 19 to begin serving time for a federal dogfighting conspiracy conviction.
Vick faces up to five years in prison when he is sentenced Dec. 10 in the federal case.
The two state charges - beating or killing or causing dogs to fight other dogs and engaging in or promoting dogfighting - also are punishable by up to five years in prison each. [READ] |
