*Evidence of dog fighting collected at a Virginia home owned by Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick will be the subject of a meeting scheduled for Monday involving a prosecutor, sheriff and police investigators.
Authorities plan to review the items seized in the past several weeks from Vick’s house, as dog fighting is illegal in the Commonwealth of Virginia. No charges have been filed in the case, but Surry County Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexter said Wednesday as many as six to 10 people could be involved.
"I'm convinced from what I saw that dog fighting has occurred down there, but who was involved in it I don't know at this point," Poindexter told the Associated Press, noting that he saw what looked like blood spatters in a room over a garage. "We're going to find out."
Vick has said that he is rarely at that Virginia house, although his name is on the title. Vick said a number of his relatives stay at the address and have taken advantage of his generosity.
Poindexter said he and Surry County Sheriff Harold Brown called Monday’s meeting with investigators from the State Police and animal control to summarize evidence and examine reports. He said he doubted the review would be finished in time to submit to a grand jury scheduled to convene Tuesday.
