Giants linebacker Antonio Pierce completed his testimony before a grand jury yesterday, concluding two days recounting his involvement in the Plaxico Burress shooting mess last year. Pierce's lawyer sounded confident that the star's defense was as strong on the stand as it is on the field, recounting his testimony that he was helping "save the life of his teammate" by concealing the gun Burress shot himself with and returning it to the receiver's home after getting him to a hospital. His attorney seemed unconcerned with DA Robert Morgenthau's allusions that charges may be coming for Pierce as well, saying, "It was really clear once all the testimony came out that no one could have acted any differently." While the linebacker didn't talk to reporters, he's been all over Twitter discussing the case, saying he would "Draw a line in the Stand and see what side PEOPLE are on." Immediately after testifying, Pierce asked for directions to Giants training camp with bravado, tweeting, "Which way to ALBANY? someone just told me." Naturally the Post's Andrea Peyser was disgusted, thinking about the trip up I-87 bumping K-Ci and Jojo.





"Saving the life of his teammate"? From what, shooting himself again? Someone else? Put him behind bars too. Send a message about illegal guns in NY. So what it was registered in another state. Please GJ, don't go soft on this stupid athlete.
"no one would have acted differently"?
Maybe if everyone was a wannabe thug who has his head hit a few hundred times a week.
Throw him in the slammer ~ we'll all be safer.
he should shut his trap.
burress won't get indicted. when I was on a GJ all the defendants who stated their case came back No Bill.
2 weeks of service and only 2 defendants testified.
from what I'd gather it's very risky to take the stand for a defendant on a GJ. or so they tell us.
