Not Guilty? Barry Bonds Pleads in Court Today
Home run champ and hated teammate Barry Bonds appeared in court Friday to plead “not guilty” to 4 counts of perjury and an obstruction of justice charge. All charges stem from Bonds testimony against a grand-jury about his ties to steriod usage in MLB. It was the first time in about 3 weeks that Barry has made a public appearance. No trial date has been set, but rumors put it after the upcoming baseball season or even in 2009.
Barry Bonds has denied all involvement from day 1, so it’s really no surprise to see him do the same in court. It’s still not 100% clear whether Bonds is telling the truth, however, due simply to his heavy involvement w/ BALCO and Conte, it’s founder.
The legal defense for Bonds claims there are errors or unclear information in the charges - they’re trying to get the case dismissed altogether. However this ends, you just hope that we get to hear the truth at some point…
