PLAXICO BURRESS TO TESTIFY BEFORE GRAND JURY TODAY IN HIS OWN CASE

Plaxico Burress (AP)

Plaxico's attorney says the decision for Plaxico to tesitfy before the Grand Jury is a result of the prosecutor speaking to the press about the case.

This is silliness. What a prosecutor says to the press cannot be used against Plaxico in a court of law. Statements could be used to argue "change of venue" if Plaxico seeks a jury trial but otherwise, KEEP YOUR CLIENT OUT OF THE GRAND JURY.

Everything Plaxico says today will be on the record, may be incriminating and may be used against him at trial. We know Plaxico possessed a gun and shot himself in the leg. There is no reason Plaxico should testify at this initial stage of the criminal process!

The grand jury is NOT the proper place to tell your side of the story, if you are the person being charged. I strongly disagree with Plaxico's lawyer's decision to put him on the stand. NOTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM HIS TESTIMONY! It's the prosecutor's burden to put forward enough evidence for an true bill of indictment from the grand jury.

Plaxico needs to keep his mouth shut!
