Re: Plaxico gets 2 years
Vick was a federal case, Stallworth was a case in FL, if I'm not mistaken, at the county level, and Plexico was in NYC, right?
3 very different legal environments. And heck - even 3 judges in the same jurisdiction will sometimes rule differently depending on the case.
And didn't the family of the old man Stallworth kill settle and not press charges?

No Vick and Stallworth both got what they deserved. Even though Stallworth was drunk, the hit was unavoidable due to the actions of the dead guy. He basically jumped out in front of Stallworth. I don't condone Stallworth's condition but if he had ridden up on the curb and killed the guy then that would a whole different case.
As far as Plax goes, lock his ass up. Just another celebrity fool who thought the rules didn't apply to them.

Several of his teammates had been robbed at gunpoint before, he had a weapon, it went off by accident in his pants, he had a license for it, but for the wrong state...2 years is a bit much.....especially considering they wanted to give him more, but he plead guilty to avoid that.

The real reason for it is NYC has gun problems. They have jacked the penalties on gun crimes way up as a deterrent. Kansas doesn't have a 3 strikes law, but we have a one strike "Hard 40" (no early release) for heinous crimes.
Different laws for different places.

Though in the case of Plex, he never follows rules anyways for the most part so he probably was off listening to his ipod or something during those talks on the local laws.
