Loading ...Barry Bonds is Indicted
By PHATLAW Staff
PHATLAW has learned that Barry Bonds was indicted on Thursday for perjury and obstruction of justice. The Baseball Home Run King could face a prison sentence for telling a federal grand jury that he did not knowingly use performance-enhancing drugs.
As PHATLAW readers undoubtedly recall, there has been a four-year investigation into steroid use by elite athletes. Bonds’ indictment is the culmination of the long time investigation into steroid use and professional athletes. The indictment charges Bonds with four counts of perjury and one count of obstruction of justice. If convicted, the Maybe No More Hall of Famer could be sentenced to a maximum of 30 years in prison.
Interestingly, shortly after the indictment was handed down, Bonds’ personal trainer, Greg Anderson, was ordered released from prison. Anderson has spent most of the past year in prison for refusing to testify against his buddy. The timing of Anderson’s release is suspicious in that it looks like Anderson agreed to testify against Bonds in exchange for a get out of jail free card.
Bonds is scheduled to appear in U.S. District Court in San Francisco on Dec. 7.
PhatThought: Looks like Anderson got sick and tired of being Bubba’s girlfriend in prison and rolled on his long time friend.
PHATLAW will continue to post the latest developments in this case.
