Antonio Pierce facing gun charges(Burress incident)

[gibbsisgod]

I just cant see a GUN charge here. Maybe an obstruction charge or something like tampering with evidence but not a gun possesion charge. I am starting to think this DA is trying to make a name for himself.

I saw the picture of him last night then heard Czaban this morning comment about him. He's turning 90 in 3 days. I think the longer Plax and Pierce can strech this thing out the better for them, this DA does not have that much time left.

What can the da do after the state of NY, the mayor & city admin. have taken a firm stance on guns & crime? As I recall the mayor made a statement shortly after this incident saying plax would be treated like anyone else would, i.e. convicted & jailed if guilty.

The da doesn't sound like he's trying to pimp himself or rushing to judgement at all, he's just taking steps to get Pierce indicted to bolster the case. Smart move, why wouldn't you indict a guy you believe was complicit w/a crime? At the least, putting Pierce on the stand (if it goes to trial) is absolutely essential. There's no way this thing can proceed w/out Pierce in some manner. His testimony, true or not, is vital to the case.

How much you wanna bet that he & plax ain't too friendly after this thing is over?
