Thank you for assuming that my wife and I are not intelligent enough to know this.
I really didn't think I had to say something like, "after we change the law, then we could sentence..."
Yes, of course that isn't the penalty for the crime. In my wife's opinion it should be. The only cruel and unusual is what Vick is.
The fact that Vick did not have a criminal record may have had a little to do with the extremely light sentence. It was more like he is a celebrity, which probably contributed to knocking more off the sentence than the fact that he was a first-time offender.
