Plaxico Burress pleaded guilty and was sentenced to two years in prison for shooting himself in the foot in a New York nightclub.

Two fricking years!

Donte Stallworth kills somebody with his car and gets nada... Burress hurts himself and gets two years, must be the gun's fault.

He's lucky the deal he originally turned down was offered again.
At trial he was looking at a min of 3.5 yrs

Which points are those? I am assuming that most people follow the news.

was the deal taken with an express note of not appealing to a higher court?

I don't know. I just heard that he decided to take the bargain and got two years.

Don't know anything about that situation.
I do not watch mainstream news.

Just local news and PBS.

it would have been an opportunity to nullify one of NYCs idiot gun laws.

granted, Burress jacked himself by having the damned thing in his waistband and letting his florida license expire, but it could have been a good USSC case for incorporation.
