Vick's trial on state charges (Va.) won't begin until *after* he does his Fed time

The state trials of Michael Vick and three co-defendants on dogfighting charges will be delayed until the men are freed from federal prison, the Surry County prosecutor said yesterday.

"We don't intend to go forward until these guys are released," Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexter said in a phone interview.

Vick, the former quarterback for the NFL's Atlanta Falcons, is serving a 23-month prison sentence at Leavenworth, Kan., after pleading guilty to dogfighting conspiracy charges. He was to have been tried in Surry on June 27.

Quanis Phillips, who is serving time in Oklahoma, was scheduled for a non-jury trial on Friday, and Purnell Peace was to be tried on June 20. Peace is serving his sentence in New Jersey.

"It's not worth the expense," Poindexter said, for Surry County to pay to have two deputies travel to each of the states and escort the prisoners back for their trial, and then escort them back to prison.

3. Good. No reason why the sentences should run concurrently
