IMHO with the information that was given in the news, it certainly appears to be evidence there to warrant a trial.
With just the circomstancial evidence, it would point to his involvement. He was seen there while the fighting is going on. He is part owner in Bad News Kennels. The fights were going on at his property, with buildings set up for the purpose of dogfighting. Looks bad for Vick.
Some people that gain fame and forturn, think they are above the law and that rules don't apply to them. For instance, take a look at Paris Hilton. She thought that the rules don't apply to her, and it may be true that they dont' apply at the same rate as the average person, but they do apply, none the less.

Lets thinks about this impartially for a moment. First I pose the question, what is Michael Vick to gain from fighting dogs? He has 130 million dollar contract that ensure the comfort of he and his family. Conversely, what does Vick have to lose? How about his entire lively hood. Its an easy enough decision for any one to make.
Next, comes the evidence. I personally have three uncles that work for the FBI, and after discussing the matter with each, I believe Vick to be innocent. Whats happened is that the FBI has charged several people with crimes with penalties of up to 6 years imprisonment and instead of trying to convict them, they have offered immunity as long as they testify that they've seen Vick at the residence (rather true or NOT). Now if it means not going to prison, how many people do you know would say they saw the Pope at a strip club last night? I know quite a few. Next the indictments says that Vick would frequent the property throughout the year. The NFL season spans from July to January. He plays for the ATL Falcons, the residence is in VA. How could he possible be there multiple days in a month, when he is 13 hrs away from the location? Lastly, the person that resides at the house made a statement that Vick was very rarely at the house.
Lastly, I'd like to finish by offering a theory to what is actually going on. I believe that underground dogfighting is a major issue in the United States, and now PETA is unjustly using Michael Vick as a "Poster Boy" to market change. They are trying to piggyback off his fame in order to get their agenda across. Couple that with an over zealous DA office, and you have a real problem. A lot of DAs try to make their careers off of cases of this nature (Duke Lacrosse).
One more thing that would be fantastic, is if people would stop trying to use his upbringing to convict Vick. A lot of people grow up in adverse situation, that does not make them crooks. In most situations, the people that get out (such as Vick), are not products of their environment. A hard neighbor can have negative effects, but it can also have positive ones as well. It really makes you appreciate what you've accomplished more, because you have experienced the other side of life. It also makes one develop a sense of maturity because that's whats required to survive.
NOT GUILTY!!!!

I am totally against dog and c.o.c.k fighting:
Quilty or Not Guilty This is a cultural thing. It is a part of the culture in a lot of rural areas of the country. There are a lot of places in this country (mostly rural areas) where dog fighting and cock fighting are natural to the people living there. It is a sport to them. And no amount of laws is going to change that. The people could care less about Washington and the laws Washington pass they are just ignored like the speed limit laws.
The dogs they fight have been bred and raised over generations for that purpose. These are not your house pets or yard dogs. These are not dogs you can domesticate. They will have to be destroyed for public safety reasons.
Now I like pit bulls and have had only one problem with them. They will slobber you to death licking you and wanting to play.
What I hate about it is that pit bull as a whole has gotten a bad reputation because of it. When it truth it is just a small fraction of pit bulls that have been bred and raised for the dog pits.
But if someone mistakenly buys one, not knowing it has been bred for the pits, for a pet. When it turns on them all pit bulls get blamed for it.
However, if one comes on my place I know or suspect has been bred and raised to fight I will kill it in a heart beat. I am not going to take the chance with it because dogs bred and raised to fight are like wild animals you are not going to domesticate them. They will turn on you or worse some little kid.
I might sound like I am taking up for him but I'm not. I'm taking up for the thousands and thousands of innocent pit bulls that have gotten a bad rap because of small number of pit bulls bred and raised for dog fighting.

Everyone believes he is guilty. He was placed at the scene. People ratted him out. The feds don't indict people if they think they'll lose. Mike is gonna be in jail before too long : )

Wasn't it his home?If it's his home he is responsible.If someone comes on your property & falls,you are responsible.Whatever someone does,you are responsible.That is a horrible ''sport''.
You have to know what's going on.You put people in charge that you trust to take care of your property.If they don't you're sunk.
