Suspended Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick this morning will appear in Virginia federal court to learn his sentence for his role in a dogfighting operation. Vick's hearing is scheduled for 10am in Richmond, in front of U.S. District Court judge Henry Hudson. Vick faces a maximum of five years, but sentencing guidelines and recommendations call for a term of 12-18 months. Prosecutors have recommended the low end of that suggested term. Vick reported to prison last month to get a jump on his expected sentence. Two of Vick's co-defendants were sentenced last week. Purnell Peace got 18 months--Quanis Phillips received 21 months behind bars. A third co-defendant will learn his sentence Friday.
