Two Co-defendants Sentenced in Vick Dogfighting Case

Yesterday, Quanis Phillips and Purnell Peace were sentenced by United States District Court Judge Henry E. Hudson. Both men were sentenced to lengthier times in prison than the government recommended. Phillips was sentenced for 21 months while Peace was sentenced for 18. This news does not bode well for Michael Vick, who has already turned himself into the federal authorities and is accumulating time. The government suggested that Vick serve a 12-18 month sentence. If Vick receives an 18 month sentence, he will be in jail until May 2009.
