Yet Bonds stands to serve as many as 30 years in the slammer. There having been no crime committed, prosecutors trotted out an old-time fallback: perjury.

Like Libby.

There is no chance in hell that Bonds will do anything remotely close to that even if convicted, which is doubtful to begin with considering the trial is in San Francisco.

And our entire system of justice depends on people testifying truthfully on the stand when they swear to do so. All Bonds had to do was obey his oath, especially considering that he was granted immunity for his testimony.

He chose not do so in the desperately vain and arrogant hope of preserving his bogus legacy, and now he's paying the price for it.
