Vick tried everything, a well-rehearsed fake.....errrr...contrite apology, only after denying everything for months.

Vick Sentenced to 23 Months
everyfacetofthegame.blogspot.com 12/10/2007 — The word has come from a courthouse in Virginia, and a District Judge has sentenced Michael Vick to 23 months in jail. Early speculation put Vick's sentence time at around a year, but when his co-defendants, who appeared to be more forthcoming with prosecutors, received 18 and 21 months, it became clear that the Judge was sentencing on the higher end of the range.

23 months...officially, as stated by the federal court at Michael Vick's sentencing. 23 months in prison. Initially it was said to be 8 to 12 months, and then it was increased to 18 to 24 months. But the judge was disgusted with Vick's actions and gave him the latter half of the sentencing. But why? Maybe it was the failed drug test. Maybe it was the inconsistencies in the stories in
