Initially, there were four charged for alleged dogfighting activities. Early in the process, one of the co-defendants entered into a plea bargain with federal authorities. Now, two other co-defendants are arranging plea agreements. Michael Vick presently stands alone with a ‘not guilty’ response to the charges:

“With two more co-defendants distancing themselves from Michael Vick, the embattled Falcons quarterback was considering on Monday whether to accept a plea agreement for his alleged role in a dogfighting operation.”

If the question is ‘how can this become any worse for Michael Vick?’, it just did. Now, the federal authorities will have corroborating testimony from three people who were charged along with Michael Vick. Does Michael Vick now enter into a plea agreement himself?
