New York Giants receiver Plaxico Burress turned himself in to authorities today, three days after accidentally shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub. He wasn’t limping as he stepped out of a black Cadillac Escalade and walked into a Midtown Manhattan police precinct to face charges of criminal possession of a firearm.
Burress’ attorney used the occasion to attempt some damage control.
“He is standing tall,” attorney Benjamin Branfman told the New York Times. “He’s a mature adult handling this very well, I think, under the circumstances. He has asked me to tell all the fans who’ve written and called, and his teammates, that he very much appreciates their expressions of concern.”
What are the odds we hear Burress say he was at the wrong place at the wrong time?
Because we know his Glock semiautomatic pistol certainly was.
