The prosecutor in the Surry Co. Michael Vick dog-fighting case may have a connection to the Vick family.

According to our partners at The Virginian-Pilot, Commonwealth's Attorney Gerald Poindexter represented Vick's father in a civil case four years ago.

One of Vick's attorneys says he has concern about Poindexter prosecuting the case. However, it's unknown if Vick's legal team will ask that Poindexter be removed from the case.
