| Lawyer wants to depose Michael Vick in lawsuit against Marcus Vick
A teenager who claims in a lawsuit that she had an almost two-year sexual relationship with former Miami Dolphins player Marcus Vick is hoping Vick's imprisoned brother, Michael Vick, will corroborate her claims.In papers filed in Carroll County Circuit Court this week, the 18-year-old woman asked a judge to compel the former Atlanta quarterback to give a sworn statement.Michael Vick is serving a 23-month sentence on a federal dogfighting conviction.The woman, who was 17 when she filed the lawsuit against Marcus Vick last year, claims in the suit that she was a 15-year-old honor student at Christiansburg High School when she first had sex with a then-19-year-old Marcus Vick in January 2004 while he was a quarterback at Virginia Tech.Marcus Vick has denied a relationship with the woman.The woman wants to know if Michael Vick knows anything about the alleged relationship, said Steven Smith, one of the lawyers representing the woman in the $6.3 million lawsuit."If Marcus has told Michael certain information about this case or has discussed it with him, it would certainly be relevant," Smith said.A hearing on the request is scheduled for Jan.

As the water drained away, people moved in to clean up, assess damage and brace for the work ahead.At Washington Elementary School, meanwhile, district employees and volunteers hauled debris by the cartload to a commercial trash bin outside.
