Chime in with your Burress strategy (1 Viewer)

Yea, but nobody witnessed him committing the murders even if there was a preponderance of evidence suggesting he did it.In Burress' case, he dropped his loaded gun to the floor and it shot him in the leg. Plenty of people saw he had a loaded gun in his possession.

Not playing lawyer here but did any of them see him point the gun at anyone. Prove how he intended to shoot someone because that is what the DA has to prove based on the Class C charge. I'm telling you how this is going to go down via highly paid attorneys.

Is it just me or does the penalty seem a little extreme?

Do we just notice that because of someone prominent involved? I'm sure "extreme" does apply to "Joe Six Pack", lol.

Your support for tough gun controls laws is across the board, right? Not just in Burress's case, right?

The prisons are full of poeple on this same charge, though most have priors.

OK. Your ignorance has been revealed.There are two charges against Burress. They are both Class C felonies. One of them is that he brought the loaded gun there with the intent to shoot someone. There is no question in my mind there is no way they will be able to prove that. The other charge is simply that he was in possession of a loaded gun without a permit. This is the charge he should worry about. They don't have to prove he was intending to shoot someone. They only have to prove he had a loaded gun in his possession. That's it!See my post earlier in this thread for more info on the charges.

I'm sure there are alot of people that were convicted of this same charge and are currently in prison. The one thing they don't have in common with Plax is $$$$$$$$$$$. No way he sees 3 1/2 yrs, or even 1 year IMO.

Redraft. I'm waiting to hear he gets placed on the non-football injury list and then dump him.

The way this thread is going, it could be merged.

I totally understand the mindset that people have that $$$$$$$ can keep you out of jail. The problem I have with believing it is that in THIS CASE, Burress was shot with a loaded gun that was his gun.So we know for 100% sure that there was a loaded gun at the scene. We also know it was allegedly in Burress' pocket as he shot himself. The only thing that needs to be proven beyond a reasonable doubt is that it was in his possession. It seems so cut and dry to me based on all the news reports about the incident in question. Burress will be going to jail.
