Michael Vick enters guilty plea

Former Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick has pleaded guilty to a state dog fighting charge in Virginia. The 28-year-old Vick pleaded guilty Tuesday to one charge of torturing animals. Vick was given a three-year suspended sentence. The plea could potentially speed his return to the NFL. Federal law prohibits prisoners from being released to a halfway house if there are unresolved charges pending.
