| Plaxico Burress was a receiver for the New York Giants before he was arrested on weapons charges and sentenced to 2 years in prison. |
Plaxico Burress was released from prison this week after spending 21 months (of a 2-year sentence) there on weapons charges.
The charges followed an incident where Burress brought a gun into a nightclub and then proceeded to accidently shoot himself in the leg. You’d think shooting yourself in the leg would be punishment enough. But the league, and the courts, decided there needed to be real repercussions.
