News: A small cache of weapons and ammunition and the pants and sneakers that Plaxico Burress wore when he accidentally shot himself last month have been seized from the home of the Giants receiver, police said Wednesday. A 9-mm handgun, a rifle and ammunition, including a clip for a .45 gun, were taken from Burress' home in Totowa by authorities executing a search warrant Tuesday evening, police said. Investigators are trying to determine whether the weapons are registered, so it is unclear whether Burress will face additional charges. Burress was charged with two felony gun-possession charges following the accidental self-inflicted shooting at a Manhattan nightclub last month. The Giants have suspended Burress for the rest of the season and also withheld $1 million owed to him as part of his signing bonus. Burress is due back in court March 31 and faces up to 3 1/2 years in prison on each count. [...]

Burress, who accidentally shot himself in the right thigh over
Burress, who accidentally shot himself in the right thigh over the weekend at a Manhattan nightclub, is done for the year. The wide receiver was charged with illegal weapons possession Monday, and on Tuesday the Giants placed him on the reserve non-football injury list, which means the wide receiver couldn't come back for playoffs, either.
Impacts: This could spell the end of Burress' enigmatic tenure with the Giants, and if he doesn't clean up his act off the field, it could spell the end of his NFL career as well. A highly talented receiver, Burress' antics and periodic ignorance have always gotten in the way of his climbing to the status of the league's truly elite wideouts.

He is ineligible to play again this season, including the playoffs. Burress' career with the Super Bowl champions is likely over and he could land in jail after being charged Monday with illegal gun possession.

If convicted, Burress could face 3 1/2 to 15 years in jail, and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg wants him prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. [...]

News: Plaxico Burress has appeared in court on weapons possession charges stemming from an accidental shooting at a Manhattan nightclub. A Manhattan Criminal Court Judge set bail at $100,000 and ordered Burress to return March 31. Prosecutors also released a criminal complaint that provides a witness account from the club where the Giants wide receiver shot himself. A witness heard a popping sound before Burress' legs began to shake. It says the person saw a bloody pistol fall out of his pant leg and land on the floor. If convicted, Burress could face 3 1/2 to 15 years in jail. Mayor Michael Bloomberg called for a full prosecution of state law that requires mandatory prison for carrying a loaded handgun. "I don't think anybody should be exempt from that, and I think it would be an outrage if we didn't prosecute to the fullest extent of the law, particularly people who live in the public domain, make their living because of their visibility - they're the role models for our kids," Bloomberg said.
