A lawyer for Michael Vick told a federal bankruptcy judge Friday that the imprisoned Atlanta Falcon quarterback could be transferred to a halfway house in Virginia any day.
“He’s in the process of being released to the halfway house,” attorney Paul Campsen told Judge Frank Santoro during Vick’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceeding. “We expect it to occur any day.”
Falcons quarterback Michael Vick is serving a 23-month sentence at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy. He is scheduled for release July 20.

In a poll today, these are the results of this question...
Does Michael Vick deserve another chance to play in the NFL?
Yes.....83.87%
No .....16.13%
(Who are these people?) Personally, I suspect they are mostly men who have limited interests...football and dog fighting, perhaps?
But the U.S. Bureau of Prisons has not given Vick’s attorneys a specific date for the move, which Campsen said could occur with only “a day or so” notice.
Vick is serving a 23-month sentence at the federal penitentiary at Leavenworth, Kan., for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy. He is scheduled for release July 20 but could serve the last few months of his term at a halfway house in Newport News, his hometown.
“We believe he is ultimately going to be reinstated by the NFL,” said another Vick bankruptcy attorney, Michael Blumenthal.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell has not said whether he will lift Vick’s suspension after his release. Vick once was the league’s highest-paid player before his indictment and guilty plea left both his finances and his reputation in tatters. He filed for bankruptcy protection in July, claiming assets of $16 million and liabilities of $20.4 million.
The judge approved the hiring of brokers to sell five boats and four cars owned by Vick and plans to sell his suburban Atlanta home at auction.
