Plaxico Burress, former New York Giants receiver, was indicted by a New York County Grand Jury for CPW 2º and Reckless Endangerment 2º, stemming from an incident on November 29, 2008, during which Mr. Burress allegedly shot himself in the foot at a nightclub in Manhattan.
In this case, we conducted a thorough investigation and then presented the evidence to the Grand Jury, which evaluated the facts under the applicable law. The case required a more protracted investigation than does a typical weapons possession case, given the number of witnesses and the need to investigate events both before and after the shooting. The case was treated like any similar case against any other defendant. Ultimately, the Grand Jury did what it thought was fair.
