Lawyer: Giants’ Burress to be charged (AP)

In this Feb. 4, 2008 file photo, New York Giants' wide receiver Plaxico Burress gestures number one after getting off a team bus at Giants Stadium Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., as the Giants returned from the Super Bowl in Arizona.  Burress was accidentally shot in the leg at a nightclub, it was reported Saturday, Nov. 29, 2008.   Sources say the wound was not life threatening and it was not clear at what club the shooting took place.

Plaxico Burress plans to turn himself in to police Monday morning in New York City and plead not guilty to criminal possession of a weapon, his lawyer said. Benjamin Brafman wrote in an e-mail to The Associated Press on Sunday that he was advised the New York Giants’ star receiver will be charged after accidentally shooting himself in the right thigh.
