Plaxico: "My leg is the criminal"

Plaxico Burress has assigned blame for his ill-timed, self-inflicted gunshot wound to his right leg on his leg.

"I was minding my own business when my leg, aka Harris Smith, attacked me", Burress told a group of reporters. "My leg is the criminal. It attacked me in a cowardly manner. What am I to do? Do you think I wanted to shoot my own leg?"

When it was suggested that Burress ultimately has control over the movements of his leg he responded by asking, "Would you say the same thing about the seven toes of mine that attacked me last week in the shower?"
