Plaxico Burress

With this story about Plaxico Burress I have been trying to bite my tongue with it because I truly love Plaxico and I really do feel sorry for him. I don't I do feel like he is sorry for what has happen and he is ready to pay for his consequences, but I think three and half years is way too much for him to be serving.

If you're familiar with the Plaxico Burress situation well here's a brief description about the case;

On November 28, 2008, Plaxico shot himself in the thighs at the New York nightclub LQ. When Glock pistol, tucked in his waistband of his sweatpants, began sliding down his legs, he began reaching for his gun and accidentally shot himself. He then went to the Hospital to get help, while his friend and former teammate Antonio Pierce took the gun and threw it away. The next day Plaxico turned himslef in to the police. Mayor of New York Michael Bloomberg called the hospital actions an "outrage" and stated that they are a "chargeable offense". He also said that he wants Plaxico to face up to three and half years. Just recently on August 3, 2009, Plaxico was indicted on two counts of criminal possession of a weapon in the second degree, and a single count of reckless endangerment in the second degree. If found guilly he could face three and half to fifteen years in prison.

So that I got you familiarrized with the whole situation, I personally think it is unfair that he has to serve so much time. I mean I know he had an unregistered gun on him and he had the safe lock off, but I mean he didn't kill anybody and if he did it would have himself.

I think if he has to serve a lot time then Donte Stallworth should serve time.On March 14, 2009, Donte hit and killed a man with his car in South Beach. You know what he got, 30 days in jail, 2 years house arrest, 1,000 hours of community service hours, 8 years of probation, and a life time suspended liscence. Did I mention Donte killed somebody, when Plaxico didn't.

Plaxico is 31 turning 32 with a family son Elijah and a wife Tiffany. Not to mention his son was just born like probably 2 years ago and needs his father to be with him. Also he has maybe a good 4-5 more seasons in him. So the best thing I think he should do is make the preccess go a little bit faster so he can serve his time and come back to the league.

I think the Dumbest thing Plaxico has done so far was not taking the ple deal they had for him. He could have served 2 years and maybe get out eraly for good behavior or like most people over booked prisons.

I just hope this ends good for Plaxico I'm gonna really miss him if it doesn't. So Plax if you ever read this I'm praying for you. I think if he is really remorseful for what he has done, then God will find the best thing for him in this situation. OH and Antonio Pierce was not indicted in this whole situation and said he will testify again if has to. He want's to do what is right. If that means throwing your friend under the bus then whatever.
