PLAXICO BURRESS: Mayor Bloomberg Demands Full Prosecution
New York Daily News Cover Story
The Giants, the NFL and the prestigious New York-Cornell Hospital shamefully shielded Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress from cops after he shot himself in the leg with an illegal handgun at a nightclub, Mayor Bloomberg and the NYPD fumed yesterday, reports the New York Post.
“Our children are getting killed with guns in the street. Our police are getting killed,” said Bloomberg.
“I think it would be an outrage if we didn’t prosecute to the fullest extent of the law.”
The receiver, who caught the winning touchdown pass in this year’s Super Bowl, was cuffed and paraded in front of cameras before he was arraigned in Manhattan Criminal Court on felony gun charges that carry a mandatory term of 3½ years.
He was quickly released by Judge Felicia Mennin on $100,000 bail.
