Vick sentenced to almost two years
Michael Vick was sentenced Monday to up to 23 months in prison for running a dogfighting operation.
That's more than either of his two co-defendants, and U.S. District Judge Henry E. Hudson said the longer stretch was because Vick was "less than truthful" about the dogfighting ring and his involvement in it.
"I'm not convinced you've fully accepted responsibility," Hudson told Vick, who arrived in court in a black-and-white striped prison uniform. He voluntarily surrendered Nov. 19 to get an early start on his sentence.
Despite a public apology and participation in an animal sensitivity training course, Vick was denied an "acceptance of responsibility" credit that would have reduced his sentence, the Associated Press reported.
