Michael Vick Sentenced Up To 23 Months

The disgraced Atlanta quarterback might be out by summer of 2009. Michael Vick was sentenced to up to 23 months in prison Monday for running a dogfighting operation. He will be in prison longer than two co-defendants because he lied about his involvement when he was supposed to be coming clean to the judge who would decide his fate. The disgraced NFL star received a harsher sentence than the others in the federal conspiracy case because of less than truthful statements about killing pit bulls. Although Vick said he accepted responsibility for his actions, U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said he wasn't so sure.
