Burress Indicted On Weapons Charges

"Former New York Giants star Plaxico Burress was indicted by a grand jury on weapons charges after shooting himself in the thigh at a Manhattan night club last winter, prosecutors announced Monday. The indictment charged the 31-year-old Burress with two counts of criminal possession of a weapon and one count of reckless endangerment, Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau said. Burress' former teammate, Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce, was not indicted for his role in the incident. "A grand jury applied the law to the facts of this case," Morgenthau said. No one else is likely to face charges in the case, Morgenthau said (Sportsline)."

I think we all knew that Plaxico was going to get indicted for this, but the real news is that Antonio Pierce can move on from all this. That is big news for the Giants, who had enough distractions last year with this whole mess, and really don't need to start the new year with the same problems...
