NY 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. … “This is a very sad day, because I think a very good man, who is a brilliant athlete, is unfortunately going to spend 20 months in prison,” Mr. Burress’s lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, told reporters after the court hearing. “After an agonizing period of discussion, Plaxico decided that he wanted to put this behind him as soon as possible.” Mr. Brafman said he hoped his client could rehabilitate his career with the N.F.L.
I can't help but think that in a few years, when Plax's lawyer is a bit younger and more energetic, there could have been a better ending to this curious case.
