Michael Dwayne Vick, born June 26, 1980 in Newport News, Virginia, is a suspended National Football League quarterback under contract with the Atlanta Falcons team. In 2007, a U.S. federal district court convicted him and several co-defendants of criminal conspiracy resulting from felonious dog fighting and sentenced him to serve a 23 month prison sentence. He is being held in the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kansas. Vick is also under indictment for two related Virginia state felony charges for his role in the dogfighting ring and related gambling activity. His trial is scheduled for June 2008, and he faces a maximum 10 year state prison term if convicted on both counts.
