I think that 2 years in prison isn't so much for being one of the most stupid individuals in the modern history.

SI story

It's gotta suck to get 2 years in prison for shooting yourself in the leg.

I’m a prosecutor, and I even think that is way to much time.

How the legal system can be swayed so much by politicians. He's getting two years because the DA was influenced by comments made by the Major, was it?

Bulls**t!!

Yea his celebrity killed him in ths case. B/c the mayor wanted to make sure to send a message to all his voters that being rich won't get you out of trouble. When in reality if Plaxico was the guy next door he would have served about 6 to 12 months at the most for this charge.

Just because they found traces of marijuana in his system does not mean he smoked it the night he killed the dude. We can't assume that, but we do know for sure he was over the legal limit for alcohol.

Doesn't matter, with the alcohol alone that will land any of us AT LEAST 6 years and that's the minimum..
