Subject: Michael Vick Dog fighting
Last night on ABC's local news (WVEC - Norfolk VA) channel,
http://www.wvec.com/news/topstories/stories/wvec_local_051407_vick.6c10df24.html
a local reporter tried to interview the district attorney (Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexterin) Surry County concerning the dogfighting ring at Michael Vick's residence. The district attorney was belligerent and ugly and appeared to not want to press charges against Vick. For those of you who haven't been following the news - the local police have hard evidence that Vick is heavily involved in dogfighting and had been at the property on several occasions during fights. The local police are being stonewalled by the local district attorney about pressing charges. They are so frustrated they have tried going to the federal authorities who have declined because the local district attorney hasn't acted on it yet. Several local attorneys who have experience in prosecuting dog fighting charges have contacted the district attorney to offer their assistance in prosecuting this and he won't even return their calls.
I've called the Attorney General's office and left a message asking him to look into it. His number is below, perhaps if enough of us call to complain they'll look into it. Please pass it along.
