Former Giants wide receiver Plaxico Burress, who faces a weapons charge for shooting himself in the thigh at a nightclub last year, arrived for his testimony Wednesday before a Manhattan grand jury.
Burress and his attorney, Benjamin Brafman, made no remarks as they entered the lower Manhattan courthouse.
Brafman told ESPN on Tuesday that he is making the unusual maneuver of having Burress testify because he believes it is important for the grand jury to hear his client’s side of the story.
“There are many mitigating circumstances in this case,” Brafman said Tuesday. “First, the gun was not used in the commission of a crime. The only victim here was Plaxico Burress. And the gun was registered in the state of Florida, which has reciprocating registration agreements in 32 states. My client was under the impression that the same was the case in the city of New York.”
Brafman said he hopes that Burress’ testimony will serve to balance out some of the comments made by Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau, whom Brafman characterized as having “a lapse in judgment” by speaking publicly about the Burress case while the case is in front of the grand jury.
