SURRY, Va. (AP) - The Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney's office says the trial of suspended NFL quarterback Michael Vick on state dogfighting charges has been continued.
Vick was scheduled to stand trial on April 2. No new date has been set, an assistant to Gerald Poindexter, the prosecutor, said Friday.
Officials had already continued the trials of co-defendants Quanis Phillips and Purnell Peace, who are serving prison terms out of state.
Vick is serving a federal 23-month prison term in Leavenworth, Kansas. All three pleaded guilty to federal charges of conspiring to run an interstate dogfighting operation on land owned by Vick.
The continuances are based on the logistics of transporting the men back to Virginia, which is the responsibility of the local prosecutor's office.
The trials are to be rescheduled on March 25.
