Plexico Burress, the NY Giants wide receiver apparently had the cooperation of the hospital ER personel to cover up information about his “self-inflicted” bullet wound to his leg. By law, bullet wounds and severe burns must be reported to the police and or prosecutors since burglars and arsonists may be obvious criminal suspects.

The BAC(Blood Alcohol Content) of the driver’s involved in personal injury and fatal crashes, is confidental. Police must get a search warrant from a judge, often at night, to obtain this criminal evidence, wasting crucial time, as the BAC is rapidly disappearing(.02 an hour).

Many more people are killed and severly injured than those who choose to carry weapons, and/or shoot themsleves.

Attempts to correct this huge loophole in the criminal law(which enriches defense lawyers) denies justice and restitution to DWI victims and their families, have failed, so far.

What was Burress’s BAC and/or other drug consumption. Can we or  the Giants ever know?
