RICHMOND, Virginia (Reuters) – Disgraced U.S. football star Michael Vick, who has pleaded guilty for his role in an illegal dogfighting enterprise, was sentenced on Monday to 23 months in prison.
U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson handed down the sentence to Vick, 27, who voluntarily began serving his prison term three weeks ago.
Dressed in a black-and-white prison uniform, Vick stood in the courtroom and said softly: “I would like to apologize to the court, to my family, to my kids, for what I have done.”
