Mayor Bloomberg to throw the book at Plaxico

A fuming Mayor Bloomberg said Monday he wants Giants player Plaxico Burress prosecuted "to the fullest extent of the law" for accidentally shooting himself in his leg with an illegal handgun.

from that," he added. "And I think it would be an outrage if we don’t

prosecute to the fullest extent of the law."- [even more at the source]
