Plaxico Burress Pleads Guilty to One Count of Second-Degree Attempted Criminal Possession of a Weapon, to Get Two Years in Prison

Former New York Giant Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty this morning to one count of second-degree attempted criminal possession of a weapon. His attorney reached a deal with prosecutors that will send him to prison for two years. He will also be subject to two years post-prison supervision.

The deal, reached between prosecutors in the Manattan District Attorney's Offfice and his lawyer, was the result of negotiations ongoing since his arrest last November. Burress was indicted earlier this month on gun possession charges for accidentally shooting himself in the thigh in a nightclub.

His behavior was reckless and unwarranted. He has no-one to blame for his fate but himself. I hope he has realized the error of his ways and will be given a second chance to play football once he pays his debt to society.
