Antonio Pierce facing gun charges(Burress incident)

Im not so sure that they will ge this one to stick.

NEW YORK GIANTS LINEBACKER ANTONIO PIERCE FACES INDICTMENT IN PLAXICO BURRESS GUN CASE - New York Post (http://www.nypost.com/seven/07282009/news/regionalnews/antonio_pierce_facing_indict_181745.htm)

It sounded like from the beginning that Pierce was complicit in an attempted cover up. This may put an interesting twist on Plax's plea discussions. The DA's office will try to put these guys in a position to contradict each other.

I could see Pierce pleading to a lesser charge, but if they have his prints and any evidence that he handled the gun, it'll be hard for him to get out of it.

I just cant see a GUN charge here. Maybe an obstruction charge or something like tampering with evidence but not a gun possesion charge. I am starting to think this DA is trying to make a name for himself.

If Plax had so many threats of robbery, with the money he is making, why didn't he hire his own security staff. He had to act all tough and take matters into his own hands. It already cost him alot in shotting himself, now he will most likely face a prison term and damage what is left of his career. And to top it all off Pierce is going to be brought into this by trying to help his friend. I understand helping a buddy out, being scared in the situation and not thinking clearly, but he should have never tried to hide the gun with the law the way it is in New York.

Lets see....law is to have an unregistered gun automatic 3yrs jail. What is Buress going to say if he testifies?....someone planted it on him? It's not his? I know this has been run into the ground but can someone refresh my memory....can they give him the yrs and suspend all the time for this charge in NY?

The same could have been said about our ST.

Sean Taylor didn't go to a club and then shoot himself! In fact, he never carried one. He just rolled up on those guys that stole his ATV's and kicked their asses!

I saw the picture of him last night then heard Czaban this morning comment about him. He's turning 90 in 3 days. I think the longer Plax and Pierce can strech this thing out the better for them, this DA does not have that much time left.

Yes, I understand that. I wish he would have had a gun. ( he may still be here

I guess it is a pretty sad situation that is going on with sports athletes these days. They are all targets. Vernon Forest the most recent. Steve Mcnair. They all need to be safe and smart. I don't know what that means, but it seems like guys are getting gunned down more and more.
