New York Daily News: Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress had his
gun possession hearing postponed until June 15 as his legal team
continues to negotiate a plea agreement. According to his
attorney, Benjamin Brafman, no plea deal is currently in place,
but if one were to be reached, it could allow Burress to possibly
play for the Giants in 2009. "Right now we have not reached an
agreement," said Brafman outside a New York City court room.
"Everyone has asked me whether or not Mr. Burress is going to play
this season. I think that's a decision for him, his management
team and the New York Giants, so I'm not going to comment on that.
I assume a lot will depend on how, when and if this case is
resolved. June 15 is the next day we're back unless there's a
reason to come back." Burress is charged with two felony counts of
illegal gun possession for a November incident at a New York City
night club in which the receiver accidently shot himself in the
leg.
