ProFootballTalk.com interviewed a former Federal prosecutor and he said that the Feds probably have corroborating evidence on Vick, like bank statements and airplane tickets which put him on the property on those dates.
Attorney Marc Garber said that the evidence which they have gathered makes them feel they can win the case or they wouldn't have brought the case in the first place. Here are some of his quotes as seen on ProFootballTalk.com.
"If I had Vick's case," he said, "the testimony of four cooperators would be enough to prompt a search, but not an indictment. To pull the trigger on an indictment, I'd need documentary evidence that corroborates what the cooperators said.
"I'd start with Vick's credit-card bills to see where he's buying things and when. I'd check airline tickets or other evidence of travel to see when he was in Virginia. I'd check cell phone information. I'd check emails. Whatever kind of documented communication or evidence of travel or location you can imagine, that's what I'd want.
"There's no way, if you're a federal prosecutor, you pull the trigger on this case without [extensive] documents that let you plot out a time-line — in multiple colors on a huge board that sits in front of the jury as you bury Vick witness by witness and document by document — putting him at the dog fights on his property."
I've heard lawyers say that if Vick and his attorney see they have no chance, they need to quickly begin negotiations on a plea deal.

The explanations you’ve made, the easy site menu, the friendships you can give support to engender – it’s everything extraordinary, and it’s facilitating our son and our family do think that idea is cool, and that is highly important.
