Michael Vick sentenced to 23 months in prison

Michael Vick has been sentenced to 23 months in prison yesterday. The U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson Said he felt Vick really wasn’t sorry for his part and Vicks early entrance into Prison wasn’t accounted for. Part of Michael Vick sentencing will include an animal sensitivity training which will be onsite.

Vick faces a maximum of five years in prison. Hudson is not bound by sentencing guidelines that suggest a year to 18 months, or prosecutors’ recommendation. Hudson already has sentenced two of Vick’s co-defendants to 18 months and 21 months–slightly more than prosecutors recommended, but still within the guidelines.

Legal experts said Hudson’s willingness to stick to the guidelines in those cases is a positive sign for Vick, but by no means a guarantee will he get similar treatment because so many factors could work against him.

Question now arise, has Vick learned his lesson?
