In the Federal System you can sometimes reduce your sentence by up to a year if you participate in a drug rehab program (you have to be accepted into the program, and generally you have to show a history of drug use).
If you'll remember, Vick failed that drug test a few months ago. He may end up reducing his sentence by up to a year. |

This is a really tough situation. Part of me believes that the punishment fits the crime which was, in itself, horrifying. Another part thinks this was a lynching. If he were not a public figure (read rich, black man), would this have been such a big deal? Anybody know how many white clod-hoppers are doing 2 years for dog fighting/murder?
If he hadn't lied about his involvement from the beginning, this might have turned out much differently, though. Bad deal all around. FAX |

To me, its the $$$...not the color that turned this into a Federal case. I do think 23 months was a bit stiff though, like someone said earlier Leonard Little killed a PERSON while drunk driving & didnt serve a day in jail...as much as i am a dog lover, Mike didnt kill anyone. I honestly think he could have learned his lesson without getting more than the prosecutions recommended sentence. |
