“Bloomberg instituted a MANDATORY 3 1/2 year sentence for gun possession in NYC.”
Yes, I hadn’t known about that. Perhaps Burress will have to plead guilty to a lesser misdemeanor charge and do 6 months in jail. Or just maybe NYC will try to make an example of him and give him the full 3 1/2 years. That would certainly be an injustice, even for an idiot like Burress.
But the may make an example out of him, trying to prove no one is above NY gun laws.
Bloomberg's mandatory sentence law was not on the books when P-Diddy, or whatever he calls himself these days, had his gun problems.
