one reason plexico WON'T do time....

betedgeonly · Dec 3, 2008

Unless I am wrong, I don't know think he has a prior rap sheet or not. I am not defending his poor decision making and yes he need's to be punished. But I do know there is a possability for a misdemenor, and or 3 1-2 to 7 yr sentance, which seems a little harsh for someone who has never been in trouble w the law. The ny mayor wnat's his head on a platter and the media sounds pretty much the same. Is this guy and his incident at the club the biggest thing on this mayor's agenda? Is Plexico really this bad of a guy? The idiot shot himself, hurt no one else but himself and it sounds like in the media that he is some serial killer or some monster that need's his life ruined so people feel better about themselves. I don't condone breaking the law, which I know none of you have ever done, but this whole scenario seem's to bo getting a little more attention that it need's. GL Plexico, and the LIONS will sign you next yr........lol

Its big news because "he has money & people know the name"

Shit like this happens everyday and we never hear about it.

He won't do time cause "he has money and people know his name"

So having money buys you unwanted publicity, but it also get's you off!

Sounds like a pretty good trade off to me.

NYC is serious about guns within city limits. Those are supposed to be mandatory sentences. If they let him off without doing time, then anytime a thug gets caught with a gun, they will point out this case and expect the same slap on the wrist.

NYC has to make an example out of him.

Well said. I think there probably are a lot of people who get caught w/concealed weapons but they are relative nobodies and can fly under the radar. Bloomberg has made it clear that if convicted Plax should serve time. If he backs down he'll be sabotaging his own program. I would think that whomever prosecutes this case is going to be "under the gun" to get a conviction here. I don't know if it's fair or not but Plax's celebrity status may actually be a detriment here.

Was watching Fox News and this happened in 2002 with P Diddy or some rap thug idiot.

Gun control laws in the city tightened up after that incident and believe it or not..........

You have to have a permit to carry a fucking gun.........

Yeah I want to be on a night on the town knowing guys are packing and stupid drunken guy's at that.

Lock him up before he accidentally shoots his limo driver.

A lawyer was talking yesterday on ESPN and talked about the prosecutor boxing himself in by charging him with this particular crime that does require mandatory sentencing. According to the attorney that crime requires that Burress was intent on hurting/threatening another individual with the gun. And if someone else was involved, you'd think we would have heard about it by now. I think he does no time but we'll see.

You watch how Plax's lawyer will use Bloomberg's comments on how he will not be able to get a fair trial in NY. The mayor should have just kept his mouth shut.
