Lawd…..the folks won’t give poor Plax a break!
Former NFL and New York Giants superstar Plaxico Burress has been denied his bid for work release….. for the second time.
The wide receiver is currently serving a two-year sentence and could remain in jail until next spring.
SMH!!!
DETAILS HERE
Y’all remember……..Burress, who lives in South Florida with his wife and kids during the off season, plead guilty in August of 2099 to criminal weapons possession of a weapon after he accidentally shot him dayum self in the leg, inside a New York nightclub in 2008.
According to The AP, the state Department of Correctional Services said the nature of his November 2008 crime merited turning down his request for a work furlough, which would have let him spend some portion of his time free and working.
Burress can appeal the decision but otherwise can’t reapply for a work furlough until June 6, 2011, the date he comes up for potential full release if he gets time off for good behavior.
WOW!!!
“The serious and negative impact illegal guns have on the community coupled with (the) dangerous nature of the weapon discharging in a public place renders him unsuitable for work release,” the agency said.
Plaxico has also has completed an anger management program behind bars, Foglia said.
His wife was pregnant when he went in the pen……I’m sure she has had the baby by now!
Dumb mistake…..major consequence!!!
