Mike Vick Is So Screwed

... ! 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. Sources told ESPN's Kelly Naqi that Vick attorneys Larry Woodward and Billy Martin met with federal prosecutor Michael Gill and the investigators on Monday afternoon. The attorneys planned to speak with the quarterback in the evening to see what direction he wants to go in. Vick has until Friday to decide what he wants to do, or else the case will go to trial. I'm not an expert on the way our judicial system works, because I don't watch television shows like Law and Order because they don't have washed up celebrities in them trying to get laid, and I'm a model citizen who's never been caught.

... quarterback Michael Vick continued on Saturday to mull his options in the dogfighting case he faces in federal court, and has still not completely ruled out the possibility of proceeding to trial on November 26. Sources with knowledge of the ongoing negotiations with prosecutors, and also with the discussions within the Vick camp, said a plea agreement -- if the quarterback decides to accept one -- may not come now before Monday. One source suggested a plea might not be entered until Tuesday; however, a U.S. District Court grand jury will convene on Monday to consider additional charges against the Atlanta Falcons' star. I'm not really sure what the debate is here. It's a choice between less than a year in jail, or more than a year in jail. With every single one of his co-defendants prepared to get on a witness stand and say that Vick did everything he's accused of, the odds of him getting off on these charge ...
