Time Behind Bars 'Likely' For Plax

The New York Times says that even if Plaxico Burress agrees to a plea deal before his court date Tuesday, "it appears likely that any agreement would require him to serve at least some time behind bars, a law enforcement official said on Sunday." 

Burress is facing illegal gun possession charges relating to the evening he shot himself in the thigh at an NYC nightclub last November.

The Times also noted that, "Last year, 986 cases in New York involving the same charges as Mr. Burress faces were resolved, and 90 percent of them resulted in convictions for less serious crimes, half of them misdemeanors or violations, said John M. Caher, a spokesman for the New York State Division of Criminal Justice Services."
