Laura Italiano, of the New York Post, reports negotiations in the gun-possession case against free-agent WR Plaxico Burress fell apart earlier this year after prosecutors insisted he do two years' state time on a plea to a lesser gun charge, according to district attorney Robert Morgenthau. Burress was willing to do jail time, but he wouldn't agree to more than a year, according to Morgenthau. "We've always taken the position that he's going to have to go to jail, whether by trial or by plea," Morgenthau said.
