UPDATE: Plaxico Burress Sentenced to 2years

 One-time Super Bowl hero Plaxico Burress was sentenced to two years in prison Tuesday for violating New York's stringent gun laws and was immediately taken into custody following his hearing. Burress agreed to a plea deal last month and pleaded guilty to a lesser firearms charge. The charges stemmed from an incident late last fall, in which Burress accidentally shot himself in the thigh at a Manhattan nightclub with a gun that had not been licensed in New York. Former Giants receiver Plaxico Burress carried his son Elijah into court on Tuesday, and then told him goodbye. He is expected to serve about 20 months with credit for good behavior, followed by two years of probation. Burress arrived at the courthouse with his wife and son Elijah, whom he carried in his arms, at 9:41 a.m. Before the sentencing began, Burress asked for and was granted permission by the judge to say one last goodbye to his wife and family, seated in the fifth row of the courthouse. The hearing was brief, as the prosecution and defense told the judge they had previously agreed to the guilty plea and two-year sentence. A soft-spoken Burress then apologized to his family and fans and thanked them for their support. "We will all get through this," he said. He was then taken into custody. Burress was scheduled to be taken to the Rikers Island jail in New York, and then be transferred to another correctional facility for processing before being sent to one of New York State's 34 medium-security prisons to serve out his sentence.
