Prosecutors have asked the judge to sentence Vick to between 12 and 18 months in prison. But Hudson reminded Vick that he was not bound by the suggested sentence.
"I place a lot of importance on the government recommendation but I want it understood that I am not bound by that part of the plea agreement," Hudson said in court. "The decision is mine in regard to sentencing."
"If I decide you deserve five years, you'll get five years and you can't appeal that. Do you understand that?" Hudson asked.
"Yes, Sir," Vick responded.
