RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Michael Vick's involvement in a dogfighting
conspiracy that involved gambling and killing pit bulls has earned
him a 23-month sentence in prison.
Vick, appearing this morning in a Richmond, Virginia, courtroom
dressed in a black-and-white striped prison suit, could have been
sentenced to up to five years. In court today, Vick acknowledged he
used "poor judgment" and added that he was willing to "deal with
the consequences."
The suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback pleaded guilty in
August, admitting that he bankrolled the "Bad Newz Kennels"
dogfighting operation and that he helped kill six to eight dogs. In
a plea agreement, Vick admitted providing money for bets on the
fights but said he never shared in any winnings.

You have to give this guy credit.  He admitted his wrong doing, and i think his 23 month sentence was a just decision.  It takes a real man to admit a bad mistake, he will become more successful now.  We need some men in high places to do the same following his lead.
