His legal situation is serious. As an Associated Press article points out, “prosecuting gun offenders is a high priority for Manhattan prosecutors.”
But let’s not be too quick to assume that Burress will actually face any time in the crowbar hotel, even though packing a pistol without permission is punishable by up to 15 years in prison. He is a celebrity, after all, and celebrities aren’t treated like the rest of us.
Even the District Attorney’s chief deputy, according to the article, confirms that there have been some instances where a person guilty of illegal gun possession didn’t “need” to go to jail.
That instance would be a celebrity instance. |

TO REMEMBER |
Resistance to sudden violence, for the preservation not only of my person, my limbs, and life, but of my property, is an indisputable right of nature which I have never surrendered to the public by the compact of society, and which perhaps, I could not surrender if I would. — JOHN ADAMS |
