Some have said that an employer could fire any of us if we had those types of charges leveled agsinst us and thats not totaly true. It depends on the state and the employer/employee's contract if they even have one. In Virginia we have a right to work state and we can fire someone for just about any reason. Other states have laws which protect the employee and they have rights which could prevent an employer from firing them before any trial. I would think that the laws in Georgia would have to be considered before they could outright fire Vick. I guess what I'm saying is that there is allot of legal stuff that goes on and I'm sure the NFL and the Falcons are looking into all of their options. This indictment came as a big surprise and I'm not surprised that nothing has been done by either party as of yet.
