Vick co-defendants receive prison sentences

RICHMOND, Virginia (CNN) -- The judge who will decide how long Michael Vick stays in prison sentenced two of the fallen NFL star's dogfighting partners to prison on Friday.

Purnell Peace, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, was sentenced to 18 months in prison. Quanis Phillips, of Atlanta, Georgia, was sentenced to 21 months.

"You may have thought this was sporting, but it was very callous and cruel," U.S. District Judge Henry Hudson told Phillips.

Federal sentencing guidelines suggested a year to 18 months. Vick faces the same potential prison time.

B.J. Bernstein, a criminal defense attorney in Atlanta, Georgia, said the co-defendants' prison sentence, as well as the judge's remarks, don't bode well for Vick. "It means it's not going to easy for Vick," she told CNN.

1. He still gets off easier than the dogs did.

I hope he gets whatever the maximum sentence is.

2. Agreed, and I hope the state charges

are all they can be as well.
