Your Vick update for today. He didn’t have much luck with the judge he ended up with.

> Whether Atlanta Falcons quarterback Michael Vick and his co-defendants will have their dogfighting case heard by a jury, or solely by a judge, is a key component of the federal case against them, writes ESPN.com's Lester Munson.

> The lawyer, who requested anonymity because of a possible involvement in Vick’s defense, explained that Hudson takes a unique approach to the guidelines that are a part of sentencing decisions in federal courts throughout the U.S.
> 
> “Most judges start at the minimum and move up or down in small increments. Judge Hudson starts at the midpoint of the guidelines spectrum and moves toward the maximum. The result can be surprisingly harsh.”
> 
> The charges against Vick provide for a maximum jail sentence of six years and up to $350,000 in fines.
