Antonio Pierce WANTS To Snitch On Plaxico Burress

'WEAPON HIDER' AGREES TO BLAB FOR JURY....

Embattled Giant Plaxico Burress' teammate Antonio Pierce will play ball - with prosecutors.

The linebacker will cooperate and testify before a Manhattan grand jury
about how Burress clumsily shot himself in the leg at a nightclub, The
Post has learned.

Pierce's testimony should guarantee an indictment against Super Bowl
hero Burress for felony weapon possession - but at the same time, give
Pierce a pass on charges of hiding the wide receiver's .40-caliber
Glock pistol after the shooting.

"He's going to have to testify."

Burress - who has been suspended by the Giants for the rest of the
season - could be sent to prison for the mandatory minimum of 3½ years
for carrying the unregistered gun.

It was Pierce who drove the wounded Burress to New York-Cornell
hospital early Saturday. Then Pierce drove his own SUV, with the
unlicensed Glock in the glove compartment, home to Totowa, NJ, sources
say.

Burress' wife, Tiffany, who went to the hospital after the shooting,
retrieved the Glock the following day from Pierce's residence and
brought it to the Burress home, also in Totowa, where investigators
retrieved it, sources say.

Still to be sorted out is her role in the unfolding story - and its legal implications.

It's not clear why Tiffany, a lawyer licensed to practice in New York,
moved the illegal weapon from one spot to another. She has refused to
speak with investigators, sources said.

Those sources added that Pierce, who played in Sunday's win over the
Redskins, didn't want cops to find the gun in his possession.
