The sentence for Michael Vick has been handed down and it's bigger than many of us expected... 23 months in the slam.
The sentence, handed down by U.S. District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson, ended an eight-month legal odyssey for Vick that saw him go from NFL star and the face of the Atlanta Falcons franchise to a prison inmate. The sentence on federal felony charges means Vick, suspended indefinitely by the NFL, won't play again until at least 2010. He still faces the league suspension. He has also been indicted in Virginia on state dogfighting charges and faces lawsuits from several banks. The Falcons are awaiting an arbitration ruling in an attempt to recoup $20 million in bonus money paid to Vick.
Vick reported to prison last month in order to speed up the time in which he could be released. Two of his co-defendants were sentenced last week, receiving 18 months and 21 months in prison.
