A decent defense attorney should have an easy time getting a change of venue now that the mayor has all but pronounced him guilty.

Burress needs a change of venue to Alaska! I don’t think that’s possible.

True, but NY law still applies including the mandatory sentensing requirement for the gun charge.

His only hope is a plea bargain to a lesser charge.

My thoughts, too. Out of NY State, and preferably somewhere without an NFL team or NFL fans. I'm not saying I think Plax is innocent, but the crime of gun ownership shouldn't carry a 3.5 yr mandatory, that's friggin NUTS.
