What a waste of taxpayers dollars. If the government can lie to us, we should be able to lie to them.
Yawn....

Feds file new indictment against Barry Bonds

Federal prosecutors today returned to the field in their perjury case against former San Francisco Giants superstar Barry Bonds, filing a fresh indictment to address a federal judge’s concern that the previous charges were legally flawed.
For Bonds, the new indictment contains the same central allegations, but now hits baseball’s all-time home run leader with 15 felony charges instead of the five contained in the original indictment returned last November by a federal grand jury in San Francisco. Bonds is expected to be arraigned on the new indictment June 6.
The legal implications for Bonds remain the same under the new indictment - he faces the possibility of federal prison for allegedly lying to a federal grand jury in December 2003 about using steroids. Bonds was among dozens of athletes called to testify in the Balco steroids scandal.
The revised indictment, however, will push the case forward after months in limbo, although Bonds’ high-powered defense team is expected to press other challenges to the prosecution’s case. Bonds previously pleaded not guilty to the perjury charges.

He should hire Bill and Shrillary’s legal team — now there are two perjury freaks who are still walking free, unscathed. “Guilty as sin, free as a bird, what a great country!”
(so said Obamba’s favorite terrorist, Bill Ayers)
Yeah, at least he did something with his talent instead of sitting around picking his nose.
Great job by the feds. I feel a lot safer taking my kids out to play now that those dangerous left fielders on steroids hitting a ball have been taken off the streets.
Then indict every player who had skewd stats for a couple years - half the players in the late 90's, early 2000's - would be under the gun.
bkmark for tonight.
Guess I can drop him from my fantasy team now.
Maybe he can join an MLB team close to where he’ll be going to prison.
They can’t. Cheating screws up the whole baseball gambling system. Nobody bets on WWF which, by the way, is how you can tell its a show, not a sport.
That whole era is one big asterisk.
Damn, are these really freepers excusing this scum with the equivalent of “its just about sex”? Sad.
