[Giants] Giants WR Plaxico Burress Turns Himself In To Police

Giants WR Plaxico Burress arrived at a police station early Monday, where he was expected to be charged after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh at a Manhattan nightclub. Burress plans to plead not guilty to a weapon possession charge during a Monday afternoon court appearance, his lawyer, Benjamin Brafman, said outside the police station. “He is standing tall. He is a mature adult,” said Brafman. “I think any professional athlete in this situation would be concerned.” Brafman refused to respond to media reports about an alleged coverup, other than to say: “I think a lot of what’s been in the press is not accurate. If they let him play, he will be able to play. … I think he will be a superstar for the rest of his career. My hope is that it plays out well and he can continue his career, because he’s a good person I think, with a brilliant athletic career. And it would be a terrible sadness if an isolated incident could ruin a life,” said Brafman.
