It could have been worse.........
From the New York Times:
Plaxico Burress, the former
Giants receiver, pleaded guilty on Thursday morning to attempted criminal possession of a weapon, in a deal with Manhattan prosecutors that will send him to prison for two years.
Justice Michael H. Melkonian of State Supreme Court accepted the guilty plea. Under the plea agreement, along with the two-year prison sentence, Mr. Burress, 32, is to be sentenced on Sept. 22 to two years of post-release supervision. With good behavior, he will be eligible for release after slightly more than 20 months.
As we mentioned earlier.......it could have been worse....read on:
If the case were to go to trial and Mr. Burress were convicted of all charges — two counts of second-degree criminal possession of a weapon and one count of second-degree reckless endangerment — he could face 3½ to 15 years in prison. The plea agreement still needs the approval of a State Supreme Court justice.
31/2 to 15 years???? In prison?......And you.......just shot.......yourself?
At first look........you kind of feel sorry for Plaxico........He's the one with the bullet wound in his thigh.......no one else was harmed or hurt.
But a second look.......looks at his utter.....stupidity. New York City has some of the toughest gun laws in the nation. Plaxico.........went into a night-club.......packing. Why? He stands 6 feet 7 inches. Michael Jordan never "packed"........And he is far more famous than Plaxico....will ever be. And..........he was "packing"........without a gun license. A no-no in NYC.
One shot.......two years. At age 32.......in his prime........he will be a 34 year old when he gets out.
Sad........
So sad........but he put himself.......into this mess.
One shot.....two years.
