Plaxico Burress accepted a deal from New York prosecutors and pleaded guilty to a felony weapons charge. Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in a New York nightclub. Under the terms of the agreement Plaxico will serve two years in prison with a chance to get out in 20 months with good behavior. I have never been a fan of Burress nor will I ever be, however, this sentence to be imposed in late September seems a little harsh to me. There was no criminal intent proven nor was he accused of criminal intent. It was a mistake to carry the gun. We all understand that however. Two years for accidentally shooting yourself in the leg might be a little overboard. Plaxico Burress made a mistake in that New York nightclub and soon he will begin to pay his debt in earnest. That’s a shame.I guess there are those who will say he got what he deserved, I’ll pass on that one.
