Pierce was helping a friendThe Doctor was not a friend and broke her professional contract.Probably a fan, thought she was helping him out.I'm not willing to excuse anybody just because he obstructed justice for a friend (and there's no excuse whatsoever for Plax).Personally, I'd like to see them all face some music. Looks like Pierce will testify in exchange for a deal, and the doctor will probably escape with sanctions. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog.

Sodboy13 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Update: WBBM Radio (Chicago) reports Burress has plead guilty, and will serve a 2-year prison term.

jkrdevil Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 So shooting youself will get you 2 years, but drinking and driving and killing someone else will get you 30 days. Got to love our justice system. I'm not saying Burress didn't deserve time; however Stallworth should have gone to jail for longer especially more than 2 years.

I'm not saying Burress didn't deserve time; however Stallworth should have gone to jail for longer especially more than 2 years.Not personally attacking you, but I detest this argument.Different crimes, different locations, different foci on prosecution...and look at Stallworth's OTHER punishments, not just the 30 days.

charger77 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm guessing the other punishment you are talking about is the 1 year suspension from the NFL. He still got off way to easy. If he wanted to, Stallworth could find other work. It might not be NFL salary type work but he could get a job. I'm sure he could be a receivers coach at a small college. Regardless of that, he killed a man and only got 30 days. Sure the crimes and locations are different. But 30 days (with or without the NFL suspension) is complete b.s.-Dan PotD May 11th, 2011looooooogodud: June 7th 2010 - July 5th 2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got to love our justice system. I'm not saying Burress didn't deserve time; however Stallworth should have gone to jail for longer especially more than 2 years.Again...the DUI was being punished for Stallworth more than the vehicular manslaughter, because that guy would have been hit regardless of the BAC of the driver.

Or you can mix in Michael Vick who also got a lighter sentence for something that was worse than just fooling around with a loaded gun. For those reasons I feel somewhat sorry for the sentense Plax recieved, but at the same time, they guy's gotta know better. Dumbass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

infrared41 Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 I'm not going to compare apples and oranges by bringing up the sentences of Stallworth or Vick. I am just going to say that I think Burress got screwed in this deal. The circumstances of the crime have to come into play somewhere in the process. It's not like he was trying to shoot someone else and shot himself instead. It was stupid and yeah he should have obeyed the law but still isn't two years is an awful lot for having his head up is ass? Does anyone know if NY has some sort of mandatory minimum sentence on this deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
