Re: Giants release Burress
His charged crime carries 3-5 MANDATORY sentence. Even when they plead it down he has a bunch of factors working against.
A) NY is notoriously anti-gun. Prosecutors put people in jail for gun crimes like cops write speeding tickets
B) The prospector and the MAYOR have said they want jail time. I believe the phrase "make an example of hi" was used.
C) The case will be heard smack dab in the middle of the MAYOR's reelection
D) Typically even once pleaded down defendants carry 3-12 months on these types of crimes.
He's going to jail. Not for 3 years but I'd bet he gets 6 months.
