23 months is nothing compared to the 5 years he could have gotten but it is better then nothing. The only reason Vick is sorry is he was caught, we all know that if he was never caught he would not be sorry and pit bulls would still be dieing as of today because of Vick's greed!
RICHMOND, Va. —
Michael Vick was sentenced to 23 months in prison Monday for his role in a dogfighting conspiracy that involved gambling and killing pit bulls.
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback could have been sentenced up to five years by District Judge Henry E. Hudson. Vick was dressed in a black-and-white striped prison suit and apologized to the court and his family.
Hudson responded, "You need to apologize to the millions of young people who looked up to you."
"Yes, sir," Vick said.
Vick acknowledged he used "poor judgment" and added, "I'm willing to deal with the consequences and accept responsibility for my actions."
