wiffleball 4,800 Posted November 30, 2007 not necessarily, his co-defendants had a quite a rap sheet, where vick had a clean record. that might have had something to do with the sentencing. You'll have to check out the judge's comments. His sentencing comments made no mention of their pasts - simply the nature of the dog fighting crime itself. Sentencing guidelines called for punishments of 12 to 18 months for Peace and 18 to 24 months for Phillips, who has a more extensive criminal record. Prosecutors recommended sentences at the low end of the range because of the co-defendants' cooperation. But Hudson said he felt sentences on the high end of the range were appropriate because of the nature of the crime. "You may have thought this was sporting, but it was very callous and cruel," U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson told Phillips. But hey, in 11 days, we'll know exactly what he gets. Like I said on the Mange, I'm thinking around 30-36 months. No way in hell the ringleader gets anything near what the henchmen who struck deals get. I have a feeling the judge is going to make these one of those "message" verdicts. The good news? Since he pled, there's no chance of this shiit getting dragged out into the appeals process.
