Burress To Surrender To Authorities

From Jenny Vrentas of The Star-Ledger:

Giants WR Plaxico Burress will surrender to authorities when requested -- without a warrant -- and will address his legal issues as early as tomorrow, according to the lawyer who will be representing him, Benjamin Brafman.

Brafman, who just visited with Burress at his Totowa home for an hour, said he has been in contact with NYPD and will speak with the New York County District Attorney's office later today. Brafman discussed the situation with Burress and said they will "responsibly address these legal issues in short order."

"We will make arrangements for Mr. Burress to be present when required," Brafman said. "He's not running away from this. He intends to deal with this responsibly, and we hope it works out in the end. I would ask that the public, the Giants, the media and everybody else withhold judgment. He's presumed innocent, hasn't been convicted of anything, and we have a long road ahead of us."

Brafman declined to go into specifics of what went on Friday night and Saturday but did say that Burress is "physically okay and thank God it was not a serious injury."

As Brafman addressed reporters, Burress' wife, Tiffany, left the house in a white Range Rover.
